Ships often look different in-game to how they appear in model viewers, because of differences in the game engine, lighting etc., so big patches of flat colour do not contrast nicely with other areas of the ship.
Could you elaborate please? Because i used the Freelancer Textures and made sure they weren't stretched too far? Would it help if i increased the resolution of the textures? Also could you elaborate more on the logo? Thanks
Logo: Ships only feature faction logos, and some factions don't even bother having logos at all. If you can integrate the faction's logo nicely, that could be good, but otherwise just focus on the ship istelf.
Textures: Yes, you need to increase the resolution. It would also be a big improvement if the texture details were properly aligned with the geometry of the hull. The dark gray texture ought to be used a bit more sparingly. Perhaps you might like to revise the geometry (particularly around the central hull) to remove the awkward curves over which it is difficult to place textures. (Also, please connect the lower engines to the rear block, not just to the upper engines.)
