THanks for the comments, guys. Maybe a bit more info could have been put out there to start with... but time being what it was (almost midnight, I wasn't all that coherent... ***grins***

The project this is for is a 3d take (prolly RTS) on a turn based table space combat/empire builder. The model shown is for the smallest ship class, an escort.

The basic idea for this, and the higher level hulls, was to keep the design of the base hull itself relatively simple, yet distinct for each race, to allow for the attachment of other modular models to represent different system configurations (different engine designs for the different engine types, and maybe the addition of a turret on the back for one weapons system or another on this model)
