Nice! NIce! NICe! NICE!!!!!!!!!  

Job well done man  

You could change the color of the cokcpit no?? Or make some kindof reflection in the texture  
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

This is the map used to skin the Iccarus    

I'll try changing the cockpit as the struts look a little pixelated.

I use a tool very like the one you describe Venom but I think layers might be better as it leaves the underlying layer intact.

That has turned out really nice - top job. And I agree with Aldo, the plate lines would look great on this sucker

Really great stuff now.   I'd just liek to repeat what has already been said, some hull lines and maybe a more color and dirt wouldn't hurt...  
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

Dirt ! now that is a good idea, I'd sort of been drawing a factory issue hull.
some ware and tear would be good.

While you're at it, if you have any places where you want to put some variety - put some checkered (sp?) areas. Like on the Loki.

No_parking, Look at the first model of the Iccarus.  Not much to write home about really was it. I find asking people for sugestions gives good end results. Another good place to start is to think of what your ship is for, this leads to an outline of what systems it will need then you just need to put them together in a cool layout.
The apollo was space superiority, i.e. anti fighter / bomber.
a superiority fighter needs to be maneuverable enough to bring its weapons to bare on fighters without loosing too much firepower. it's sort of a halfway house between an interceptor (bring weapons to bare as quickly as possible) and a strike fighter (bring as much firepower to bare as is possible. anti light craft)
