What were you going for Ryx? It looks, from the side, like you were after a capship, but from the top and rear it looks like a fighter.

If you want to lean toward a fighter, slenderise that nose. If you're after a fighter, tone down the side bits some.

Well, not a fightercraft. Something else.

Carve an engine section at the rear end of the main body, increase the vertical assymmetry and add some details to the nose section. It looks like some sort of strike capship to me, maybe you could make it a bradside dueller or something similar.
Probably away. Contact through email.

Get rid of the winglets, but keep the side bits. That's will bring the top profile in a bit, give it a more 'chunky' appearance. Styxx' idea of a broadside dueller is a great one, especially since you've put so much care into the detail.

I would do something to soften the severity of the blunt nose some. Rather than making it more symmetrix vertically, though, I would likely cut in at the bottom.

I somehow really like the design of this one. Would make a great cruiser in my opinion. ;) (or if the scale permits, destroyer, with some added details)

Oh, Ryx, I forgot to ask: how many spotlights are you using in that sphere network? And how large is the sphere?

Let's see. 52 spots. With about 5 shiplenghts in radius. :p
I just resize if I have to. As long as the object is within the lightcone really.

Are those evenly spaced around the sphere, or is there some other arrangement?

You sure have a lot of lights there. :D

And about the ship - I'd ditch the new extrusion on the top of the frontal section, and make the engine recession on the back less deep and wider. :)
