I feel like the MTC could be a great support ship. Instead of giving it direct combat modules, give it different support modules.
It could start of as a base module (Carrier maybe.) and from there the player has the option of changing it into various different support ships. Making it so you can only change modules while in friendly space station controlled space is a good idea, but maybe put a resource cost (don't know if you can do that in sins) on changing into different modules, or a large cooldown.
As for different module ideas, maybe use some of the lore one's alongside adding a few of your own?
An Inquisition module could spread influence, rally/inspire fear in nearby ships, maybe give it sabotage like abilities to use against enemy planets and buildings?
Maybe combine the Observation and Survey module, allowing the MTC to colonize planets and act as a scout?
The rescue module could be geared more towards a repair/healer role (although that might be a bit op. Maybe give it temporary buff/debuff? Ship gets repaired a bit, but gets reduced regen or speed, etc.)
