I would do something more with it. It is realistic looking. Real looking space vehicles are boring, visually.

The sides look empty. I think from movies like star wars that people are used to lots of doo dads breaking up the smooth lines of a spaceship.

It looks "simplistic". Something a beginning 3d artist would produce. The texturing should also be "mixed up" so the flat surface does not look so flat.

Nothing personal. Hope I do not sound mean. ;)

Creating more geometry and being more starwars like are not necessary to fix a model or achieve a good model. I wanted it to be stream line and uncluttered. It supposed to look different from starwars ships, thats the point Starwars looking ships have been done to death. Now with the texture mapping I understand what you mean, but its metal, metal can be mapped several different ways and does not necessarily have to be Mixed up to be effective.
