I use 1 almost all the time, but for the super-huge ships (which I should see about rebuilding some time), I did 2, as it's somewhat easier, along with keeping a general shape in mind, for the capital ships.

Largely 1. I tend to figure out what to do next as I do it. Although I have worked with number 3 a couple of times/

i always make a concept sketch of a design before i start working on it so that I know what I'm aiming to make. then I just make the sprites in any order that gets it done...

I do 1, as I never know what the ship will look like when I start, I just follow in style if im using a style, else its just trial and error till I think its good.
