Yes, I think some larger details would be very helpful, like a large
observation deck or some wing-like things, maybe some turrets or
observation domes.  It'd difficult right now to see the actual structure of
the ship. Once the eye figures it out, it is an interesting design, but I
think you might use some colored lights inside the hangars to help
distinguish the different section at the fore of the ship.  I think it
needs some mssive, glowing engines of some sort.

As far as the texture, I think the problem is that all of the greebles are
about the same size.  Try adding some much larger variations.  Perhaps you
shoud add some more variations in the hull of the ship itself, perhaps some
ridges or troughs along the suface.

This is your imagination coming to life of course, so do as you please, but
these are my suggestions to improve the image.
