I'm not seeing it. It doesn't look any more like a * than, say, the
Tantive IV does. I guess parts of it are sorta tube-shaped? But it's not like that's uncommon in spaceship designs.

Okay, it stopped looking like a * from LJS' angle.

Not every speecsheep can look like a rounded brick with thrusters on, mate.
And I see a slightly tipsy designer is all.

I certainly don't think it's the prettiest ship, but it's not supposed to be.

Uh... that's a hell of a stretch, Tiel. The shape of the thing only vaguely resembles a D, and only then from certain angles.

Erm... yeah.
Give me a few minutes in GIMP, and I can make a spaceship look phallic, too.
You want a *, try the Lexx.

The difference is the missing components here are all part of the hypothetical *. My only intent with the edit was to make the overall shape more apparent, as evidently your own isn't a good standard for comparison.
It's okay error. I understand you're as frustrated as the thousands of asian-americans that struggle with this problem every year. If you want to talk about it just hit me up.

No, CMA. Unless you're willing to help Tiel get over his own deformity.
We're friends, Tiel, we won't make fun of you for it.
