The unwritten rule when posting ships.

[Hikurac]

Ok, you've put hours, days, maybe even weeks or longer into building your ship. You feel the fine craftmenship of your little space dinghy deserves to be upholded upon by the rest of the StarMade community and so you post it on the website expecting praise and prestige yata yata whatever. But what is this! No ones downloaded your marvelous space gem and yet it has such a low rating!? How could this be, what do those other ships like the "BC-304_Daedalus" and the erm.. "Puddle_Jumper" have that you don't? Then you proceed to scroll down their ship's page until it finally hits you with the force of a thousands AMC's. Oh dear lord! PICTURES. OF. THE .SHIP! A truly blasphemous act on the StarMade forum, but it is the answer to getting your ship downloaded by others. Here, allow me to repeat myself. PICTURES. OF. THE. SHIP. Yes, that is the answer.

Too many times ive noticed good ships forever lost in the abyss that is the double-digit pages of the ships forum. They sit there lowly rated (many times by me) for they have forgotten this crucial element to their ship's DL page.

TL;DR - There is no tl;dr, it's a forum, learn to read.

I think you should be required to submit a picture before you can upload.
