Not more awkward than a Neph.
What should the argument mean that there are enough capital ships? This indicates some factions are restricted cause that they were to late or cause other factions must have 2 or more capital vessels. That's a bit odd in my opinion.
A vertically-orientated ship would cause issues with potential collisions with trade lanes, simply attempting to enter a Jump Gate, and navigation of asteroid fields would likely prove to be very challenging.
Without seeing a new model intended for submission, the suggested designs do not suit any of the existing ship lines.
