Spiky Alien Spacestation Thing

Click me, please.

Made it in Blender. I just need to figure out how to add an image texture without distorting it. What's your opinion on it? :o

Interesting. It kind of look likes it was inspired by a LOTR crown for the Witch King. :)

looks like DS9 with extra pylons pointing out

It's so bad it wraps back around to awesome then back to bad again, then back to halfway between awesome and bad. Like if ed wood directed a godzilla movie - Duckie

It looks like DS9 built with the intention of ramming and stabbing the shit out of oncoming ships.

Which is pretty damn cool, actually.

Nice.
In a complex object like this a combination of uvw mapping and unwrapping is probably the best solution. Luckily Blender has one of the best unwrap functions out there, so it´s probably not that much of a problem.
But a simple texture won´t be sufficient for a large object like this. You´ll have to create a combination of several textures and procedural maps to make it look good. Depending on what look you´re going for some parts might not even need images at all because pure procedural maps might deliver superior results.
