Is it maybe possible to have Windows like the smaller Rheinland Ships have? So that you can look into it and see 5 or 6 Pilots? Kinda like the Rheinland Armoured Transport.

You do know that this would increase the polygon count and neccessary work a lot?
No, when I am looking at your signature with this Shire, I could imagine to designt it like this. Those windows are nice. (I need textures.:P)

Jinx has those. I think

Master of Models, I need your help. Not just an opinion on my progress, but some hints with textures, too.

Well just to tell you, the Sig is a bit edited. The window doesnt look that Shiny in the game.

Okay, I think I got it now:

UV mapping is really cool.
But I have a question: is there any restriction, regarding the textures in terms of size or resolution?

Can't give you any answers there, but I have to say and give you encouragement with this being your first. I'm following this with great interest.
EDIT: It looks like a futuristic wrench. And it's good. All Rheinland ships look more or less like wrenches. Fits with their utilitarian look very well.

This looks more like a Rheinland battlecruiser. I just see it as being military, not commercial.

windows glow is applied via the UTF editor ( you can pick a skin and apply characteristics like immunity to ambient light ( glow ) etc. )
a texture ( mat file ) should be somewhere between 100kb ( simple ) up to maybe 1MB ( very very complex ) - it should not really exceed the 1000 kb - but even very complex ships with very many different skins usually don t really exceed this.
to keep it small - most generic freelancer skins are rather small - 128x128 or some larger ones are 256x256
for a sufficient UV mapping - a 128 suffices usually - for a detailed face mapping - 256 is sometimes needed, but very often - the generic freelancer skins place many "tiles" on one 256 skin - so that it can be used for many other purposes, too.

I managed to extract the original Rheinland window textures:
