A Caren flying aircraft carrier, eventually it will cutscene quality, ie lots more detail to be added, more roundness, more bells and whistles. Whatcha think so far?

Since no one has commented, let me tell you what everyone is thinking:

Looks like it could have potential, not particularly fancy or interesting yet, add more detail (PARTICULARLY to the actual flat, aircraft holding part), and looks good so far.

Actually, shouldn't the aircraft holding part™ be flat since well, you do want to ensure a smooth landing. So all that needs to be done on that section is textures. Or you could add some models of pump stations, and inside the shielded part (if there is one) stuff like fuel stations, ickle engineers, ladders to help pilots into their craft, cranes, and so on. Kinda like in X-Wing Alliance and the Rogue Squadron games. But I'm sure you plotted to add those anyway. So far so good!

And awww, lookit the cute dinky Z-95s. <3

I hope it has some anti-gravity engine providing a slow movement, since it's horrid aerodynamics would certainly rip it apart during high-speed traditional flight.

If it's in space all the time that wouldn't matter as much. No air to have friction with. In space even a brick can fly!

Sure, but why does it need a runway then? I thought it was more like a contemporary aircraft-carrier, only flying.

Theeeen... I hope there'll be catapults... and hooks for incoming craft. No way in hell is that long enough for conventional landings. Also... I'd suggest you then tone down the boosters at the back and make something huuuuuge at the bottom for keeping it aloft. As obviously, as Zagibu said, the aerodynamics are horrific on that thing. So it'd do better as something that is mostly static.

(And what can I say? The tiny Z-95s threw me off. >.>;; )

On second though, it might just need hooks to catch incoming craft. You could take off Grand Canyon style, throw yourself over the edge and catch enough speed as you fall. You're probably kilometers up anyway.

That would make an awesome level, you know.
