Very cool ship, danamo. Pog - Some interestiong comments you made about the loading and unloading stuff. Keep up the brainstorming :)

You're right, the bits sticking out wouldn't be a cause of drag, unless your ship passes through something gaseuos.

I think camouflage would look largely black or very dark grey.. though having a dark silhouette moving in front of a "bright" star or star cluster would be a bit of a giveaway - maybe you'd need some sort of adaptive camouflage scheme (chameleon like) consisting of both colour and lights.

Radar works in space. As current stealth technology (I believe) is based on minimizing the radar cross section of the target, then current stealth tech principles should also apply in spaceship design.
