Loading tip, "Cannons have a massive recoil. Your ship should be heavy enough to withstand that recoil.".
Could you make it so when we get the coaxial weapons update, the mass of your ship affects the damage a cannon does? If your ship is just a one fat, short cannon barrel, it should recoil backwards as much as the projectile goes forward. This would mean less damage delivered to the enemy. Ofcourse, getting a kick-start at running the oposite way while you reload is a benefit for itself.
A-10 Thunderbold, "Warthog" is a plane built around a big minigun (not a plane outfitted with a minigun). Check out the proportions:
And the largest parts of the gun are ammo storage and barrels. The firing mechanism itself is very small if you actually look at it.
Another thing to consider is structural integrity. Only high-tier materials reinforced with an Integrity Field would be able to endure firing a capital-class railgun. Otherwise, the gun might fire itself from the ship in the oposite direction it fired a projectile.
And here's an entertaining clip about firing a railgun in space combat:
