Those are some...*ahem*... big guns.

Aside from some refinement, it still doesn't look too bad. I take it you're going to use a winged tower structure instead of the mounted cylinder behind the bridge?

Those same guns as on the Venator (there's just more of them) and no there's still a cylinder (it holds the bridge airlocks and docking ports)

The cylinder might pose a problem, as it would be rather obvious. On a ship, in battle, obvious things... are targets. Having the bridge depressurize halfway through the battle would be a Bad Thing.

Might want to consider an alternative method of accessing the bridge from outside. I would recommend a simple airlock, or perhaps a small hangar; IIRC the Executor had one such, which modified TIE bombers could enter, for officers (Captain Needa uses it in ESB, though you never actually see it; you see his TIE shuttle come out of the Avenger's bay, then it flies to the Executor's bridge and apparently enters said hangar). This hangar could have an armoured door, as we don't see it in ROTJ when flying past the front of the bridge module.

That's how large CEC ships look, though.

actually said hargar is on the underside of the bridge tower, but as Spanky said it's all bug CEC have cylinder like structure that hold the airlock (at least in some models)

Ok I'll update this as soon as I figure out how put the color to hull.

Final version

(for now).
