Oops.
I had forgotten that LCVs were 800kT in the unmodded game; I was thinking they were 400-500kT.
So, drop the LCV to ~400kT, adjust remaining features to suit, and allow them in. Versus 300kT destroyers, the 200kT space not occupied by fighter bays isn't going to win the day.
And, keep in mind, that s NOT 200kT of weapons space, that space is also eaten up by engines, control components, sensors, ECM, shields, armor, etc, etc.
As for mounts .... just chop 'em out.

I may work up something for such a game, myself. Maybe.
