Looks good so far. I like the docking tube below the viewing deck, they will have to be careful not to attempt to dock with anything too big though or they are going to bend that antenna.

Good point!

Well, the antenna is tapered as it is, I can easily have it retract far enough for the docking tube to extend beyond it

Sore more detailing on the docking tube. I spend some time devising a good functioning male-female connection that funtions both ways. A hermaphrodite connecton?

Some more updates, I didn't have much free time today sadly so it's just some minor detailing.

The front bow sections seems almost finished right now but here and I don't want to overdo it but i feel like it could do with just a few more smaller add-ons.
If you guys have any suggestion on a type of antenna, sensor, pipe connector etc etc that I might add, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Right now the layout is as follows.
-Underneath the observation deck there's the docking tube
-Next to it I have a fuel/other liquid pipe connector, consisting of a vaguely resembling in-air refueling nozzle to guide the connection and a 4-lidded cover that would slide open to reveal the main pipe (dunno if I'm going to model that).
-The large lens below that I imagined to be some visual receptors with the smaller ones to be in whole different wavelengths.
-The dish below a strong directional antenna.
Behind the grill will come a sort of trekkish deflector-like.
-The protruding antennae (large and small) are for communication.
-The bottom lid/hatch I haven't figured out yet completely but I imagined it to be some sort of extendable cylindre that can slide out for direct access to some of the sensor system as a backup or in case of emergency.

Hmmm I just noticed that I made the viewing deck and docking tube just a bit too big for the intended size of the ship, the scale idea was that the front windows would be around 2m in height so I'll have to rescale them down 25-50%

Don't forget emergency pods and a VIP's yaght-dock.

Nice docking tube.
Is it an auxiliary dock for crew only or the main-ingress/egress for passengers?
If the latter, you could resolve the too big issue with a floor halfway, so that passengers can enter and exit at the same time without bumping into each other.
