What's your best carrier design?

[KiloOhm]

Hi,
Just got my copy yesterday and am planning on making a carrier group as soon as I can, just because I love the idea of having swarms of fighters to do my dirty work. What do people here use for their carrier design?

I think (for a light carrier anyway) I'm going to go with a Bridge, Life support, Crew, 15 bays, ECM, probably 2-3 Engines (best tech available), 2 Point Defense. This is pretty standard and should leave me enough room for some additional components, any suggestions?

Should I beef up the engine count to gain the additional supply? I plan on having a supply ship with the fleet.

I don't plan on adding weapons since I don't want the carrier itself getting into combat, should I add a heavy mounted gun just in case?
