This was originally supposed to be a fighter.  When i saw how square and bulky
it became, I decided to add the cargo compartment.  Then it looked empty, so i
made the little speeder thing.  Im still in the process of building and adding
on, but im kinda stumped and looking for suggestions right now.

This is my 2nd attempt at a space vehicle, and I could really use some tips or
ideas.

Overall it's really cool.  Looks like it would be a cool ship to see in a movie
come quickly swooping in & lift the cargo container off.  The wings are a bit to
long for my taste, BUT if there's no gravity assist, then you'd probably need
the length.  Oddly, the length of the wings is what makes it visually dynamic
for that swooping in scene I mentioned, heh.  The gun barrels are also too long
in my opinion, maybe half as long would be fine-they're visually dominating for
a detail (on a freighter no less--unless you're smuggling :) .)  The forms,
colors, & greeblies are all well done.  The cargo container seems to be lacking
some similar colors & forms that would visually link it to the freighter (maybe
add some gray, similar corners, truncations, etc.); BUT if it's supposed to be a
'rag-tag' 'Rebel'-type oppressed-group ship & therefore not well funded group,
then they'd take any containers they could get.  Even then, maybe they'd modify
it with a design specific enough to be recognized by their own, but generic
enough so the bad guys would think it's another owner-modified container out of
the 100's or 1000's in the galaxy/system.  Anyways, VERY good work here; keep it
up.
