In Star Wars, the populated universe seemed to have an infinite resource of sapceship-building minerals. They did not have to worry about cost.
I do not see how the Prometheus and the Raptors share a shape?
The Raptors are only slightly different and that's fine. One is an improvement on the former. Whatever was fine on the original was left unchanged. There's no requirement for the player to distinguish the two, the name would be displayed indicating this anyway.
it looks like nearly every other amature designed sci-fi ship...
Because I really do believe the millitary, combat spacecraft (As the above are)will have that form. I am fine with that. It's not a bad thing.
The transporter is well thought out. A small, single-man cockpit at the front, to see where it's headed visually; the majority of the craft is fuel tanks and engines, able to clamp around the heavy cargo Pods and pull them through the void. It's about efficiency.
If Id wanted non-cliched, different shapes I would have requested Chris Foss design them, but then, the craft would really not have a look to suit their purpose.
