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.
