I really hate to point out a fatal flaw in most of these space ships, but why are there almost no guns on the bottom when there is no up and down in space? Not the Spacebattleship Yamato though... that has guns on the underside I think...

The X^ series games (like X3TC/X3TR) actually address all the common sense problems like that (helps that many of the game developers actually play the game regularly and are the biggest mod contributors) having guns in up to 6 locations (front turrets, port/starboard turrets, aft, top and bottom turrets/fixed guns) that can give some ships a full 360 sphere of fire. Also having all the shipyards/factories that are already in space so you don't have to worry about that pesky gravity stuff helps
