Thanks! There are actually two. The ship is symmetical down the center
split plane.

Yup.. you hit it on the nail. My approach is very sea faring...you're not
the first to notice that. Well, I can add some outcrops like I did on the
Mark 3 to reposition some of the additional laser turrets to the side of the
main forward bay and the behind the docking ring. The main guns (not the
main turrets) are fixed beam cannons at the very front, along with a
functional torpedo launcher. I can make the smaller turrets point down as
well as up for better coverage too.
The ship is modular, and there will be a lot of interior detail. I have
pretty much completed the interior of the engineering section, engine module
and the elevator module, coplete with warp core. The primary living
quarters/escape pod module is done in terms of the rooms, but there is
nothing in the rooms yet. And of course the bridge deck has yet to be
built. Right now I have an elevator to the Bricge deck, that's it.

Ok...when I finish the basic form of the ship, I'll add more side mounted
"hard mounts" for downward facing gun turrets and sensor arrays.
