The problem with the basic design is that it seems to lack direction -  when I open it up it looks like a spacefaring version of the International Space Station. Doug Chiang, designer for the Star Wars prequels, said a good design should be expressible in a minumum of strokes, barring details. While of course if you want to design an industrial ship you can throw that out the window, it will be heavily dependent on details and textures to break up the confusion. A good design looks good detailed or not.

You do, I trust, realize the irony of that statement.

I agree, its parts are not as cohesive as I would put in to one of my designs.  However, neither are the EA ships in inferno, and most of them come over very well.  I tend to have the habbit of modeling on the fly, so most of my ships don't come out like the concepts anyway.
