Just one thing - the rim of the saucer that goes behind the 'bridge picture' that whole part looks sorta washed out or not defined enough or something?

Yah... it is. I let it fade to just line work so that it wouldn't get to complex around the area where the bridge overlaps it. It makes a little more sense when you can see the back of the ship and the nacelles. The color fades out back there too. However... maybe it could use a tad more color. I'll look at it before I put the highlights on.

With those escape pods being so sparse, it has to be a quite small ship, right? Or are the majority of them located over the ventral area of the saucer?
Is there a page about the ship? Couldn't find it on your homepage.

I odn't have anything on my site about it yet. Except maybe in the WIP section.
I'm thinking it is a fairly small ship. I based the relatively small size on the size of the windows from the game mesh. I also didn't add any pods to what was on the mesh. I don't think there are any on the underside of the saucer.
What have we got? Four on the nose. Four on the sides. Two behind the bridge.
That's 10. Say they hold 4 people each. That's 40 crew. I'd say there would definitely need to be somewhere else.
I think there may have also been some on the underside of the engineering hull, though you can't see them in the drawing. I'll have to go back and look at my screenshots to be sure though.

For the bridge and the 'area' where the space-lock is below it on the side - is that ALL deck 1? I can't see the heigh of a human fitting in the dome structure and also standing next to those big windows at the front there.
What is the big empty white circle near the resgistry?
The hull is awesome - it looks metallic - especially the part 'closest' (yes it's a 2d pic - you know what I mean) to us!

OK... decks.... The bridge dome is deck one, the flat area with the air lock is deck two, the next tier down with the rectangular windows is deck three, then the saucer is divvied up into four decks after that. I figure the big windows on the saucer are very large... perhaps the senior officer's quarters. The smaller port hole windows directly below are on the deck below and are probably junior officer's quarters.
Keep in mind a couple of things... this is far from perfect. I used the screen caps from the game as a base then added little features to make it a bit more detailed and realistic. The airlock is not on the original mesh, nor are the transporter emitters, the second row of saucer windows, the photon launchers and secondary deflector in the nose.... etc. Yah... the airlock is probably too small... err... actually, the windows are probably too big.
The white circle around the escape pod is a call-out feature... you can't really see it in the pic, but just to the left of the saucer is a schmatic of the escape pod shown from the top and the side. The circle is there to clear the detail and give attention to the escape pod which is detailed next door

There are 18 on the Armada model, which is probably enough, it's quite a small ship really.
