here is ( hopefully ) a bit of constructive critizism...

the top view looks good - really..
the front view is OK - but the blocky version looked better ( more spaceship like ) edit: on second thought - the front view is good, too - no real need to change much there.
the sideview is - well, shapeless.... it looks the way things appear after a hardcore drinking contest ...

so all in all - i d suggest you get back to the more blocky stages of the model and start adding details. the mainframe of the model has been quite old - and its most certainly not a bad basis - but i don t think you re getting anywhere when you don t start the rather boring work of adding freelancer typical details to it. - in case you still aim to get that ship into the mod as a missile frigate.

the engines look bad - ( well, all in all, it looks like you made a "select all" and "make round edges" ) .. if you turn the engines back into their original hexagon and blocky shape, it ll look much better than those "soft" ones.

and then start on adding details ( can t say it too often ) - a bridge ( a real one ), windows, hmmm.. missile racks - now its supposed to be a missile ship, isn t it? - i am sure its still a long time till the next version comes out .... but it won t be an eternity... so i d suggest you keep moving.

i cannot tell you much advice there cause i don t do 3dmax - but i think what the ship really needs is typical spaceship characteristics. - air intakes ( yea - unlogical, but they look good on ships ), heatsinks, armour plating ( just emboss some faces - its easy and has an incredible good effect )
give the ship more "shape" - it does look like an amoeba right now. - it needs "parts" that anyone can easily tell - like a front part, a mid section and a distinct rear. - one can usually even tell whats front and read on nomad ships - and thats a liberty ship... even someone not familiar with freelancer should be able to tell whats up, down, front and rear on the first glance.
