Very nice, I like things big. Good idea to add a central docking ring.

Do you mean sensors, armor and exterior do-dads, or interior features? If
the ship is sectional or able to be opened, then truly interior detail would
be good (i.e. things for the crew to keep busy with). As to exterior,
please don't think that I dislike your design (I'm working on something
similar), but the peppering of weaponry on the exterior seems to be strictly
on the upper decks (dorsal side). It has the appearance of a more sea-going
vessel rather than space (if you watch Star Trek movies, in #2 Spock
comments that Khan thinks two dimensionally, and HE's a superior intellect!
I did the same thing on an earlier construction...). If you were to
re-position the exterior sensors, do-dads (highly technical term :o) and
weaponry to provide more of a 360 degree coverage, I think it would achieve
a truly formidable profile.

Hat is off to you for undertaking what is one of the most difficult of
constructions! Truly, anything made of ABS as a single object that
approaches the size of your bed is way cool!
Best wishes!
