I wanted to spead something more to the front. looked too back heavy so i added these. I think i still have to tweak them. But now im going to add some details to the fuselage first.

Im also thinking of adding a docking area so it can connect to another ship ill make... Better come up with a uniform docking attatchment so it doesnt have to change for each ship...

looking good, just make sure not to add so much wing that you can't see the spacecraft anymore, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing user added image

Now whats better the second image with the less clutter in the front of the ship. Or the 4th more bigger wings making less focus to the bland fuselage.

I like both... but sleaker is cool... but i think i might put some better weaponry on this and make it slower.
