To be honest... IMHO it looks like a short piece of ventilation tubing... ...as it lacks all surface features apart from the grooves. Wings? Turret bases? Bridge? Antennae? Blisters? Tubing on the side of the ship? Something?
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

What is the use for the grooves?

It needs something sticking out of the side, for balance. It can be asymmetrical, but it lacks weight and visual balance.

The part that points down after the thiner area in the body needs wings coming off of it. ill draw somthing up in paint, 1 sec
Edit: here it is, you dont have to make it exactly like that but it would look more SOCish like that, especially if you add some nice texturing and maybe have a few antennas coming from the back of the wings, make it look rough and dark kinda like the Erinyes

It is a terran capship.(Argo size)
It does not need wings.
It does not need to be SOC.
If it is the size of an argo then why does it nee to look like an Erinyes?

Note, I will still work on the ribbed one because I like it so much better.
New one!

About the first one. Details are added to make things look functional and realistic, not just for the sake of editing to raise the poly count. The ribbed one looks a) stupid and b) impractical. Extra armor? What's the point in having "ribbed" extra armor? If you're armoring it, why not armor it with a proper hull plating rather than... Ribbed stuff.

The other version. What's the point in the triangular things?

BTW, if I'm sounding critical here or stupid, I'm sorry since I'm just trying to give advice. You don't need to follow my suggestions, they're just my opinion on this thing.

I think what I said on sectorgame about your previous model even moreso applies to this one - there's just not enough shape for it to be a ship in my mind. Sure it can be nicely greebled, but if it has no shape it's not going to do a lot of good. In fact to be totally honest it far more reminds me of the sort of greeble you might find attached to a bigger ship than a ship in its own right - as Wanderer has said, a piece of tubing or somesuch.

If you look at the FS ships, none of them with the exception of the terran cargo crates is as simple in shape as the ship you have here. They have extrusions, indents, curves, angles, fins, engine pods, rotating bits, docking ports, arms, holes, spindly bits, bridges, superstructures, fighterbays, landing strips, towers and just generally....stuff.

You seem pretty competant with greeble making already, so I'd definitely suggest you try focussing more on design features now.
If you find it difficult to come up with designs in the modelling program, come up with them on paper - just doodle with angles and shapes until you end up with something that looks like a ship. That way you'll find it far easier to actually model it. :)
