I looked at Soren’s “Lying Bastard” a lot while building, and tried to expand on his Pirate color scheme, also using some of his gun muzzles and greebs.

Lastly, the space in the hanger has a lot of potential for work crews, maintenance equipment or some device which allows them to drop from a moving ship.
