I also agree with Durandel. Also the ratio between the parts of the ship (head/middle/rear) are making it look extremely odd. For example when drawing humans - if the proportions are odd the human will look odd. That is not always bothering sci-fi ship models sharing strange shapes. Nevertheless good proportions are only going to represent the current model better.
So I've prepared an image to show you how to fix this.
In this example the head of the ship can be taken as "1" and according to that a size comparison between the other parts could easily be established.
- The top version have a ration of 1/2.2/2.14. Just by looking at the numbers and not the model at all - you will imagine this ship to have smaller frontal element...bigger middle part and almost as bigger rear part.
- The bottom version have a ratio of 1.3/2.2./1.3. This time you will imagine it to have similar in size frontal and rear parts and bigger part in the middle.
So:
1) I would recommend the ship "frontal" part to be extruded (keep the shape if you like it this way) but just make it longer. It will also give more space for windows/quarters and represent this as true massive ship carrying a lot of people where must live somewhere.
2) Keep the "middle part" but like Durandel suggested - making the ribs of the shell connected to the body would make it look more armored.
3) Diminish the length of the engine. Its uselessly larger. Bretonian designs are not featuring longer engines.

What you said - seems to be the idea. It looks logical the weapons to be "inside" the ship and protected instead - exposed. It would represent the carrier as "armored to the teeth" which in fact is part of the background story of the ship. It might look odd - resembling cannons from age of sails era. I do not participate in the creation of this model aside from commenting the forum though. So when I saw them I liked the idea.
