Its kind off wierd for me though, I haven't seen any Imperial ships (or any Star Wars ships) that have heavy guns on the ventral side, even if it has less than on the top.
Also, for a second there, I thought those things where doors.

If one wants to find a comparison of the power of the ship: the firepower of an ISD-II is just defending the hangar...

I don´t get why you are modelling the pannels by hand. I´d get some procedural greeble shader, produce a cool procedural material and then pop it in the displacement slot.
I can imagine how boring that is. I just Made a scrubby looking rebell guy with a leather jackets and many, many wrinkles in his clothes in ZBrush and i believe that wrinkles and panels are on the same level of boring.
You're kidding right? Bump-mapping panels are the height of laziness, and would never hold up at the distance that the rest of the detail would hold up at. Obviously you'd use it for some applications, but not something this detailed. It's on par with using the greeble plugin...just...no.
I would adore it if someone would do a model of HIMS Eclipse. Hell, we can give it the EUFic treatment and reconcile its various depictions and make it as intelligent as possible.

I like the idea of the Eclipse as a flying Sith temple (so long as the Sovereign remains a "conventional" Star Dreadnought), but the engines, dear god, those engines have GOT to be changed.

Sadly, I think that would involve removing the main visual cue, i.e. the stupid big beard in the front of the ship. Not much else changes, apart from that really idiotic rearrangmeent of the engines from (I assume the new essential guide). Before it was just three giant engines and secondaries (which is also stupid imho, but whatever). But then you just get a large, featureless dagger wedge. And you might as well model a mandator concept .
