Concept drawing for Bio Union's (now Valinor) "home ship", built with the help of their... interesting.... alien neighbors.
Grasping in the dark with the designs then as now.
Dated mid-2001.

I think simply because it is intuitive to design something that "flies" with aerodynamics in mind - it's probably something we learn very early on from seeing things that fly (birds, airplanes). I also do think human brain is wired to find aerodynamic forms more "pleasant" to look at - so in sci-fi movies where spaceships often have to look "cool", they are often made sleek and streamlined even though they don't need to be.

That's plausible. Either that or oversizing some elements of the ship to degree where it looks like something from a comic rather than a spaceworthy vessel. I'm thinking of the starships from Warhammer 40k here.

...what part of your imagination did THIS come from? Its not even furry. Looks like Vader's star destroyer to me.

Nicely done. I do admit though that I am wondering why people (myself included) tend to design their ships with aerodynamics in mind when in space there simply is no air and any atmospheric entry would tear a ship that size to shreds...
