Well, my Destroyer is pretty solid, I would venture to say it could be supported
from one point. Then again, this ship is about 3-4' long, not 6'. My
suggestion is use a lot of plates - the Destroyer has a high plate to brick
ratio, also, step your underside, which provides the foundation for the rest of
the bricks. The underside of the Destroyer is multiple plate layers and even
integrated at different levels into brick walls (which forces plates into the
picture when certain walls join).
The Destroyer is a 99% studs-up design, and also, a lot of its walls aren't
smooth for the entire length, lots of bulges and dents, especially on the first
deck.
I'd love to build a ship with a Technic beam interior structure, though. :-)
