ship designs boring and too similar

[spacerat]

hm i'm kinda annoyed at how every ship has only 2 forward gun hardpoints and only 2 forward heavy weapon hard points. One would assume a battleship or somthing would have more forward firing weapons than say a destroyer. Right now every ship is basically the same except for max tonnage. Sure you can throw on bigger and better weapons but you really can only have 2. I've really not found a use for hte side mounted weapons anything I throw on there for occational use can be better spent on bigger heavy weapons or more shields. Is there a way to mod a ship to make all the hardpoints face forward? or give them more hardpoints in general. Also why are all the heavy weapons ONLY missile weapons. Thats kind of wierd. Why not just call it a missile/torpedo hard point. Heavy weapon implies that a 40kton ripper bean should fit there.
