As long as it generally comes out the way you picture it in your head, time is irrelevant. Those look like warp nacelles, making it look like a Trek ship of the week. Intentional?
The hunter-seeker. I thought that design (almost light saber-ish) was interesting, except it was much smaller and more stealthy in the book.
The engines are sort of inspired by my (inaccurate) memories of what the Chrysler Building and the Museum Center in Cincinnati, and what used to be called the Providian Tower in the city I live in, look like.
I figure the large domes have a diameter of a little over 2km. The midsized dome has landscape (thanks Google Earth), but it's hiding for some reason. Must be night.
Added a big dome. I was hoping the Falls of the Ohio park would look good, but it's much nicer from the ground than from the air. I need to change that.
Redoing and renaming another older ship. It's "Svanur" now. Google Translate thinks the old name has something to do with onions, which I don't understand at all.

Adding layers of detail here and there.

I only occasionally try Star Trek ships. I find them difficult. Of course It's hard to not be influenced by them.
The original idea was for a cargo module hauler. Now I'm thinking it's a modular multi-purpose ship.
That would also look good in the 1984 DUNE. The nacelles remind me of the needle/dart that Paul grabbed out of the air.

Added another view.
