I know it's probably too late now, but when I looked at the teaser pictures, notably the ones for ship images, It seems as though the aren't really themed on anything, and I though it'd be good to have them themed on the race original ships, so it don't take a leap of the imagination to see how one ship design and another relate - For example with the Zolazin ships, have the race default then images from the Zolazin NPCs, as they all have the same 'look' to them, while still being different - I know it's probably to late now, but that's my 2 cents.

I like the idea, basically lets you see that the ship is still in the same race. +1
But of course, for realism, there's no reason a race of aliens would build ships based on a central template, rather than just randomizing the looks of them.
(^That I can think of, but what do i know, i dont know any aliens)
But like you said, probably to late now.

All Arlean ships should be sleek for speed. Zolazin ships should be black. Lazuli ships should be solid, same as Sillix ships should look big.

Kronyn should look like a research vessel. Communications arrays, visible scanners, etc.
