Going for the look of a YT-1300 with the cockpit in the middle?

IMO, the polies should be used for something else other than simply just bumps. But cool nonetheless.

Ehh, by bumps I meant the cuboid-like things sticking out of the wings. They could be used to make it look more like a fighter. Right now it looks more like a concept.

do you mean the guns or the ridges?

The ridges. I think it needs more "real" details. Like plating lines or stuff like that.

 
I'm afraid I have to agree. The ridges really don't add much and you have a 1700 poly fighter that looks close to 600 polys. You could accomplish the same thing with bump mapping and use the left over space to add detail to the large, oh-so-blank areas of the ship.

It kinda looks like a boxy Ebon Hawk.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Make the gun barrels round.

It kind of looks like a corporate interceptor from I-War 2.
