It doesn't look alien to me. In fact, in reminds me a fair bit of Serenity.

Who built serenity? Sos but I've never heard of it :3

Since worldedit has now imploded and died on my minecraft for some reason i have been working on some smaller ships, here is a wip pic of my drone carrier, i am going to do some wing things on those weird looking intakes, also it will have some nether brick detailing to make it blend better.

It has no definite form. It's a problem I had with my smaller ship: they has a lot of detail, but no form. They were just an amorphous blob. Actually, a lot of people have that problem with pinnaces/corvettes. You can see bad form in my work, Billy's, Iv's, Cat's, and others. Actually, I think the best builder for smaller ships is Blockman, have a look at his works.

Yeah, blockmans smaller ships are really good, a large part of the problem with this one is because this was origionally going to be about 3x bigger, unfortunately about 3/4 of the way through what you see there, i decided i was tired and just wanted to finish it, so i turned the start of the wing fins into the engines, this sorta ruined the form. But yeah most of my small ships do tend to look like grey blobs so i think i might work on building more of them.

I never built small ships, because of the scale. The smallest thing I ever built as the bot and I think it turned out nicely. Minecraft is not designed for things of curtain size, I find it better to paint you a fighter rather than make one because it will just look bad, and the only designs that look good at such scales are quite generic and common, limit your freedom.

That sorta looks like a phallus.

There are a lot of ships that look phallic.

Maybe that's some sort of primal instinct; to build things in the general shape of a dong?
