I would say that I like all manner of starships for different reasons.
Sleek and smooth is great for aliens or high-concept sci-fi, when you
are trying to set apart your ships from what we all recognize as human.
Blocky and more "useform" is good for when one is trying to establish
either a sense of overbearing or maintaining a connection to the current
paradigm of what we know as human technology.
There are in-betweens of course. Humans can have sleek (couriers,
blockade runners, spy ships and scouts) and aliens might have big chunky
battlewagons.
Speaking of Battlewagons. I would love to see a fleet of truly
"brutish" vessels. Fat and solid, ominous in their bearing.
Eli
