4 more guns wouldnt honestly change much, you're always going to be limited by powerplant. The only thing a 12 gun setup would do is encourage running 12 1.0 or 2.0 weapons and one shotting everyone, which is exactly why the snac was nerfed in the first place.
I think it should be going the opposite direction, actually: Guns are fine, but drop SHFs to having one fighter/torp slot and one disruptor-only slot so they cant equip double mini razors or have as much anti-cap variety as bombers (no more pairing a neutralizer or corona with a nova), and then increase their defensive capabilities further. Allowing SHFs to equip transport or light gunboat shields, for example, so they can survive a little longer despite their larger size.
