I realize it's not a popular opinion, but I kinda like weaker thrusters overall, it gives the ship a feeling of weight, which is pretty apt, for a capital ship. Once you start getting really big ships, with turrets all over the hull, for a 360 degree coverage, it really starts feeling like you're flying a leviathan. Like you're actually the captain of a capital ship. But that's just my two cents ^^

I use a variation on this design pretty often. Or I should say, I use the same principles. Usually instead of a perfect wedge though, I use raised gun placements, and decks instead, which works almost as well. The fire coverage is excellent. Though, I've noticed it sucks pretty bad when you're running away ^^

I'm pretty sure a change in damage isn't all. I've noticed a lot of things that seem different between my two partial playthroughs. Though it would be better if someone could confirm it, I hope this helps give you a general idea ^^ From my post on the steam forums concerning it:
