Has anyone ever considered using the girder parts in the 10045 bridge
elements to build a ship where there are (say) a front bit and a back bit
that are only connected by a girder structure? (like in some Sci-Fi movies)
Or am I the first one to think of this? (I am going to get 1 or mabie more
copies of 10045 and do this myself :)

I’d been working on just such a ship for a month or so, but I haven’t found a
girder design that I thought looked good enough - but I was constructing it in
microfig-scale so I think I set tougher constraints for myself. I also think
that a substantial challenge exists in getting it strong enough unless you make
it out of Technic beams - although I think that would be too coarse a scale for
microfig. I got a great-looking microfig frame section by linking light-gray
antennas and light-grey technic ski-poles, but I quickly ran out of both
elements... :-(
My primary inspiration was the Explorer-class vessel Cortez from Babylon 5:

Actually, the site isn’t a bad reference for Babylon 5 ships:
