I like it! However the "USS Harriman" seems to bu upside down. Usually any
StarShip you see in StarTrek has their "Warp Necells", those two long structures
you have on the bottom, the other way around, shouldn't they be on top? Also I
too think the Borg ship needs more pipes, perhaps instead of putting a box in
the middle make the entire thing out of pipes, and make several layers of
different sizes and thickness, I think that's how My Tran did his object. Also
to make it really borg like you will want to have a green light in the center of
the cube, or several scattered around its surface. Oh and lastly, you say that
the Borg ship was the size of a small moon, well if that's the case then the
"USS Harriman" you have isn't much smaller, perhaps you should make the borg
ship bigger, you don't have to see the entire ship and perhaps by scaling it up
and seeing less of it will make it look the proper size? Anyway sorry for all
the nick picking, its a very good image!

PS: I am not a trekie more like a treker :-)
