It's seriously cool-looking, but they've done the navigational lights wrong: the portside (red) light should NOT be visible from the starboard (green light) side of the ship. Both ships and aircraft are set up so that nav lights have limited arcs of visibility to port and starboard, so that the pilot of another vessel knows precisely what angle he's viewing one's ship from, in the dark (thus preventing mayhem and misery from mid-air, late-night collisions in fog, etc...). Also, the floodlights are a bit weird...if they're meant to simply look cool, they don't illuminate enough of the hull; unless they're so one can go outside and clean space dust off the portholes?

@weizillaYup. That one. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for another movie.
