Bummer. I made sure to design structural integrity before moving to
cool looking detail.

Yes it is all genuine black lego. I used it all on the outside
(excluding the trans. pieces for weapons and tractor beams.) The inside
of the bridge is all white and the inside of the docking bay is gray and
red. If minifigs were real they would see all uniform color in their
surroundings. In other parts, such as where the reactors and torpedo
storage should be, I used mostly yellow for support structure. So it is
tecnically an all black outer hull ship.
2) do you, like me,

When I first started I thought this would be a major problem.
Actually the spots where I did use slope pieces (in the middle of the
front upward slope) don't look as nice. The plate and brick "step
sculpting" I think looks much better than the slopes. Consequetly I
still have most of my black slopes for use in the colony I am going to
build. (going to be a space/town hybrid with a castle wall and BURP
cliff in the backround) I need something for my cruiser to do.
