Id say put it in as a dreadnought, a heavier battleship is necessary more than a carrier, with the gunships and destroyers core has bombers aren't all that necessary.
You've made two statements here that totally contradict with each other. Firstly, no Mako isn't garbage in group fights. As if we assume you'd keep using bottlenose's and threshers, the Mako fits with them just nicely. Not to mention that those two ships are extremely effective against caps.
And as people said, a carrier doesn't go with a fwd, that would also make no sense RP wise, and I'd also like adding something here.
Fwd doesn't usually go with light battleships as well, hence you'd expect the model to have Overlord stats adding a fwd to it is a no go for balance, since Overlord has some of the best stats around.

That said, I wouldn't see much sense in Core having a heavy battleship neither, one that I'd assume almost nobody would be flying, not to mention that Core have little to no justification for one.
