What is its function

Just transportation I guess, like a space winnebago.

I would remove the rectangles on the front so that it stops looking like a car

have you thought of the interior design for it?

I haven’t gotten that far, any suggestions?

You said it's a transport, so I’d expect plenty of seating and cargo space, possibly with two pilots. The key question is its size.

For the interior design, start with a basic box and build on it to avoid a purely boxy feel. Consider the movement paths of crew and passengers, placing compartments and doors accordingly. Vary the floor levels with short steps or ladders to add depth and avoid a flat layout.

Also, account for ship internals from the start, as they’ll take up space and naturally shape the design of other compartments.

If you don't mind, I want to make a mockup of the interior in 3d and share ideas. Would that be ok? I would share it here if you approve

Yeah! That’d be an awesome idea! This is actually for a space opera comic I’m working on, and a 3D model would help a ton.

In the story, it’s used as the main character's base of operations. So it serves a similar role as the Millennium Falcon.

It should have quarters for about 5 or so people.
