Thanks Kyle! And thanks for the critique... More on that below.

(1) Nevertheless, it really does evoke the battleship shape in a space MOC,
which I figure is what you were going for.

Yes, in the few sketches I did for this spaceship, I did try to evoke the shape
of a destroy/battleship/whathaveyou. However, in sketches, you can draw flowing
lines that taper off vaguely... Not so with LEGO. I realized pretty soon when I
started building this vessel that I couldn’t make it curvy, or even angular, so
I copped out I guess.
The thing is, if I had tryed to make it tapered, I would have had to sacrifice
the interior space for the crew. I didn’t want to do this, so I went for the
simple boxy look.
I agree though, the boxy-approach doesn’t work for someone like me who uses a
minimum of greebling. I have learned my lesson, and will try to build a more
angular, or even curved, spacecraft next time.
