Well, the neck IS where the Captain's quarters is located but I didn't
bother fleshing it out this time. I guess I should. Originally, I was
thinking the whole bridge would double as an escape vessel but I didn't
bother with that either. But I like your integrated pod idea for the back of
the bridge. I would need to extend the bridge back at least 6 studs to make
a pod to hold 7. That leaves 2 crewmen below who need a fast escape. I
should change the dual lateral thrusters (in the back) to a single thruster
like the ones in front. That would create a 6 stud wide space for a 2-person
escape pod on either side of the hull. The only problem is the exterior
placement has to match the interior because I really don't feel like tearing
up the interior. I'll think of something.

Yes. One is for storage and the other is the bathroom. But, again, I didn't
bother fleshing them out.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes! :)
