I put emphasis on surface detail of the space ship over the texture detail. Using a handful of triplanar materials I could build a layer look with greebles and by cutting into the hull.

Greebles are placed to be used by the crew, each ladder and platform on the space ship lets the crew do essential tasks like cleaning the insignia.
The design is meant to be a highly functional space ship, large cargo space, high visibility for the bridge, powerful thrusters, and lower engines to control hovering and orbit. With these design goals defined, the ship takes a strong, grounded shape.

The volumetric lighting in Eevee really shines here. A bit of atmosphere adds nice depth to the space ship and grabs the eye.
The entire scene is built to scale, these crew members can climb every ladder on the space ship, and stand in every room comfortably!

-
Designing a full sized cargo ship using a new layering techniques. I used a combination of triplanar mapping, booleans, and a selection of Greebles to create a worn, grounded design.
The ship is rendered in realtime, with volumetric lighting in Blender's Eevee render engine. Some mild post prossesign for lease flares and distortion done in Blender's compositor.
Textures are modified form BlenderKit's library, and the planet is from Nasa's amazing library of images.
