Pretty cool looking render with that HDRI. Also I like the realistic washed out look in the space scene. It looks a lot like the ships in the 2001 movie.
The shell seems to be done now... The "Feet" are too purple, I wanted them to be bluer. so I still need to clean that up.
So on to the inside... These are bits and pieces of stuff I did in the past. I am cleaning them up and reworking them to fit with the Herc. Looking to at least have the bridge, cargo hold, and various corridors completed.
Putting together a new page one that will bump the old one to page 2 - it will be an exposition page with some back story to bring the reader up to date. It will be set in the hanger of the Large (Huge) cargo vessel.
Creating an automated loading dock tug and train, and while I was working out the dimensions I kinda liked the front / side view thing so here they are for posterity

The Herc skin is what I imagine the PLANET OF THE TITANS Enterprise would have.

Also, a few shots of a space/transport hub
Maybe..
BTW, good dramatic angle for the cover. Not an angle I see a lot of CG people doing.
It the details that take the longest....
And, here it is from your favorite Graphic Novel (I can dream...)
So on to the inside... These are bits and pieces of stuff I did in the past. I am cleaning them up and reworking them to fit with the Herc. Looking to at least have the bridge, cargo hold, and various corridors completed.
Here's the start:
First I will need to create and clothe the crew of the Hercules I ran a few Bing AI passes to see if there was anything that struck me as usable..
By the way, never put Pirates and spaceship in the same descriptor...
I did find a jumping off point that might work for the crew though:
I am starting at the beginning with the underwear.
So here is the crew with a brand new set of Uni-Corp provided Long Johns...

-edit-
Oh, duh. You mentioned that. LOL
only the best woolens for our Uni-Corp flight crews!
I was kinda thinking of the undergarments worn now in space...
