    It's too soon for us to evaluate; as it's only a basic shape. Stop worrying if it looks good and just build onto it and MAKE it look good.
    As for the cockpit/bridge; you can do it 'fighter-style and put the cockpit in the front or you can do it 'navy -style' and put it on the top like an observation deck. There are no rules here. Just do what looks good to you. We'll guide you if you get stuck.

    Remember what I showed you in Light vs Dark? Those engines you made looked nice. Remember; take what you learn and scale up.

    I think I see the problem. It looks like you are fighting scale/size.

    You should make this 2x, 3x bigger.

    As for turrets at a 45 degree angle, you'll need to dock an entity to rotator and then dock the turrets to that.

    Good shape so far but to get details and systems in you likely need to scale up.

    It was not my mission to make it big.. mission was to make a corvette that would make the heart of my fleet

    To get what you want on there in needs to be much bigger. It's the problem with voxel games. Sense of scale is usually much larger then you think.

    I can do something like that, when I will build battleship... I will try to make as much details as I can on this corvette

    Maybe because every block is 1 meter square? Unless we get some Space Engineer style big ship little ship thing, anything small size will have more bulky or uglier turrets. Some people can use some weird shinanigans to make 5x5x3 point defense turrets, but anything that could do some damage at that level would be really big, like the
    Even this is a bit unrealistic, because the barrel where all the power is is quite small. Maybe you could do something of similar style with a semilarge cannon-beam turret on top, don't expect to have any more turrets that 5-6 pd turrets at best.
