It's a VERY cool design. Quite original. I like the ring; it makes me think it's some sort of space field induction coil or something. I also like the piping you have from the cockpit to the head of the ship. Cool touch. Notes for improvement (from my perspective, obviously; take these comments as being worth what you've paid for them -- nothing). The fact that the cockpit looks to be recessed in the chevron shaped fuselage structure seems strange; there are windows (presumably so the pilot can see), but the view from them is blocked except for straight up and mostly ahead. I'd bring the cockpit up higher in the structure so the pilot could see to the sides (and even ahead). I'd love to see some kind of greebling (the term used for details on a physical model) around the outside of the ring; something that indicates there's equipment in there -- pipes, exposed bits of energy coils, little panels behind which technicians would adjust the trans-dimensional flow regulator or whatever, hand-holds for the technicians to climb up on the ship while they're working on it, that sort of stuff. Also, I'd like to see panels and seams hinted at in the texture of the metal; look at stills from Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica; every ship looks like it came off an assembly line and was riveted together from hundreds of machined pieces of metal. (Well, not Queen Amidala's ship, but that's a different aesthetic.) Sorry if I'm too long winded; I tend to be that way. I really like the design and would love to see it in animation. Keep us posted on its development.
