Description

Top:
The 1st redesign of the Command Block. "Down" is supplied a bit of handwavium so that Zero-G can be ignored. It occurred to me that the block could be turned 90º so that when the ship was accelerating or decelerating there'd be a force pressing towards the floor. Thing might be awkward however when there was neither, or a course correction made. There is an ablative shield at the front for "accidents"  while in flight. Unlikely, as this is nowhere near light speed, but remember the Titanic!

Bottom:
I added a set of Engineering modules. The stores section carries a selection of spare parts for vital systems., and has a small workshop. The centre section has a variety of monitoring and control systems, including a secondary bridge. The Wt Dock is usually open to space ((accessible via secure dual airlock) and is where the maintenance skips are stored when not in use. Faulty external equipment can be dragged in here via the skip and repaired away from heat sinks, radiation hazards and other external hazards (and smaller equipment dragged into the workshop.

Courier jump-missiles - used to send messages from system to system - are also stored in the Wet Dock.

You can see an observation bubble just above the engineering module - just under the green arrow. A good place to look at the heat sinks and check for damage.

Greebling has been added to the walls of the Mission Block as well. Looks a little beat up now.
