Clean Corners for Subdivision
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
$begingroup$
I added a few support edges to get sharp edges and then merged some vertices, so the edge loops don't spread on my whole model. Now I have all quads, but the corners don't look right.
I know that I could get away with triangles on the bottom part, because it is a flat surface, but what about the pointy star trek polygon in the back?

Going into wireframe mode shows that the subdivision creates a fold in the model.
Creasing the sides of the star trek polygon pulls the fold out.
That basically solves my problem, because the render looks right, but the topology doesn't:

The reason of this distortion is that it's a concave quad, and Subdivision Surface works better with clean quads. You can solve your problem with these tricks:
- add a single edge in the middle of the quad: you won't have any distortion with Subdivision Surface, but the resulting mesh contains triangles
- add this edge loops and remove the two edges marked in red, so you will keep a pure quad mesh

That's the problem: Either I have triangles or excess edge loops. I removed the green edges in the second picture, so I don't have to deal with them in unrelated parts of the mesh.
