Damn
and his Inspiring Awesomeness
The Martian Motherbird Class Capital Ship is both a Carrier, a Destroyer and a Planetary Siege vessel. Slow and Cumbersome, it is almost never seen anywhere unless with a fleet.
It is only ever employed in planetary siege operations, or in some cases, exterminatians, using its Mass Driver, to kinetically launch inert missles down to the planet's surface with the explosive impact force of several kilotons of TNT. It can easily hold its own in a fight. Three Lance Battery nests at the heavily armoured front of the ship to combat opposing vessels with numerous Guns alongst its sides to unleash hell upon the enemy in the event of a broadside conflict. With forward and Aft torpedos.
It shelters hangerbays close to the centre of the craft capable of launching numerous fighters, bombing craft and even exploratory scouting crews and supply ships for space to surface runs or evacuations in case the conflict on a nearby world is going poorly for the Ground Pounders.

It's an interesting concept, but I think you went a little over the top with the turret placements and the railgun. IIRC railguns don't really look like that and aren't as long or protracted. Could definitely use some shading and depth on the main body itself, which I'd imagine to be armor plated, so you could draw some shines along it and shadows along where the lower edges are. I like the flames from the engines, and the lights. With some shading and removing some of the turrets it'd look pretty good.
