Thank you @evil_genius_180 Good point indeed. To be honest I was hoping someone would vote for the magnetic solution 'cause it will save me the modelling.
In the meantime I did add more detail around the planetary sensor dome.

I just can't leave the quarter alone.

I did work on the nacelles a bit.

I did play with the Light Set Up again. I think for now I am satisfied with the outcome.
And thanks to ashleytinger there is a universe appropriate stand-in sitting in the pilot chair.

The lights are supposed to be to help manually guide a shuttle in.

Thank you, I got that now. I'm a bit embarrassed, though that I didn't thought of that myself. One reason might be that I always imagined that shuttles and other vehicles would be taken in by a tractor beam, in every case. What I thought now is that in the 3 dimensional void of space you can't only get off course to the left and right but also up and down. And it would make sense to also have signals indicating on the z axis if you are on course or not.

Another Thing I couldn't wait with.

Maybe you just need a little bit more context?

Thank you @Rekkert , I had no idea that you still care for this project.

And here we have the next never-ending project. Labelling buttons ... one by one. I know, this would probably be faster using textures. But since I have zero experience in texturing I'm using cutters and Knife Project instead. My hope is that the process will fasten up when I have labelled enough buttons and can start reusing them.

I'm still messing around with the bridge dome. Latest experiment: mixing materials.


The lower material is a translucent glass. Don't know why it appears completely opaque in the first image.

@evil_genius_180
After seeing both versions side by side I think I'm also sold on the wider version.

@ashleytinger
Thank you.
The position on the secondary hull is inspired by the Refit Enterprise. Also the pylons should align with Engineering and Engineering should align with the antimatter tank and the tank position is fixed by the yellow circle on the underside.

So beside miner tweaks I doubt I will change theirs alignment.
