Forward guns are more aggressive, for siege cruisers or heavy capital ships like dreadnoughts. Contrarily, carriers seem to be intended to be more passive, making the two concepts fairly incompatible. Honestly, you might be better off just shedding the bays and trying to turn this into a larger, more aggressive capital ship.
This new ship would be made to counter the other BATTLESHIPS not to siege bases and what not, also not all carriers are passive, it depends more on the person flying, look at the geb, Atlantis, and elbe, those are all carriers well capable of taking down their battleship counterparts. Generally the BHG ships tend to have less armor, the mako is the weakest BS in the game, this new model might have the stats of a lib dread with an FG and 2 cerbs as Matilda told me, a larger ship is a bad idea given all the other large ships in the omicrons are garbage, I wouldn't want this adding to the dumpster.
