So I've only done 1 epic match so far and was just curious what a good points cap for hardpoints/upgrades on huge ships is. Doesn't have to be tournament friendly just casual play raider vs cr90 and 300 point small ship list cap. Just to clarify I'm allowing 300 points of fighters and upgrades, each side gains 1 huge ship and a certain number of points to outfit their huge ship. So I'm looking for a good number of points to allow for the upgrades. Something that won't allow every option in the book also allows for some flexibility. I want it to be just as tough to decide on upgrades as it would be with a normal list. Any suggestions?

Why limit it at all? Just do it the normal way.

Honestly, I think it would be a mistake to limit their upgrades by points. A fully kitted out Raider with every slot filled is easily 167pts including your base cost of 100. That's including shield upgrades title etc.

I play 400 pt Epic matches with EbongHawk frequently and usually we wind up spending 150 to 160 on our Raider or CR90 and then fill out our fighter squadron with everything left over. Which is basically the same points you are talking about with having a free Raider and CR90 a side.
