but bottlenose? its already OP when a player flys it with normal powercore
maybe use the orca?

Aet covered the other part. About the Orca, the Orca doesn't match the rest of the BHG line very well. It's similar, but it doesn't look like it matches in. The Bottlenose, however, is meant to be the actual GB of that specific line, so that is what is used. It's agility won't matter at all, considering how NPCs fly capital ships. Same goes for the Tridente. A GB/Cruiser's agility really isn't a factor when balancing NPCs. NPCs don't fly them like fighters, but like mobile weapon platforms. The front end isn't always aimed at the target. Check the Rogue and Molly GB patrols in Dublin and New York.
