Hmm, if you ever try another large gun barge/super warship type vessel, I recommend trying a "Y" shaped hull configuration similar to a larger version of the design used on the Talos. Recently I've been almost exclusively using that shape, as it produces a very fast and stable platform even for huge vessels, while requiring a minimal number of additional blocks for speed tweaking. Also, as far as big ugly gun barges go, I ships built this way don't tend to look too horrible (though they're still not terribly nice looking).

Though admittedly this ship uses some hacked in RM weaponry, the PCV Kraken is based on that design and has approximately a 95% win rate in VIP across maybe 60 battles, making it by far the most successful ship I've ever built.
