    I like the nascelles, Doomed_Space. I'd recommend trying just a little more detail - simple things like having those red blocks surrounding the airlock protrude a little, and putting the windows one block back from the hull. These are things you can do easily before you start thinking about more complicated ways of making your ships look better.

    If you do want a suggestion for something more complicated, try adding diagonal fins or putting cable runs on the hull. Also, try to make ships either more rounded or more angular. Try to avoid making a brick if you can - this one would look quite a bit better if its main body weren't so thin and slab-sided.

    Wish you luck in future builds.

    Instead of having the blue lines flat with the black hull intent them one space and then you can add some wedges, it'll make a world of difference.
    edit: Possibly extrude the red airlock one space so that you can add wedges and create a bit more depth, also turn off the planes when taking screen shots. Hope this helps

    The blocky bridge section actually has something rather attractive about it.
