I always liked the designs of the ships in Babylon 5 as each culture had a distinctive aesthetic that told you a bit about them - human craft were chunky and practical, Minbari ships were elegant, Vorlon vessels were organic, etc.
They always have me chills when they dropped in as you knew shit was going to go down.
The ships the humans develop in Stargate seem to owe a debt to the Omega-class but it may just be that it follows the same design thinking - we'd likely start off making things a bit utilitarian at first.
And they had great markings on them - it reflected their warrior culture, where the Centauri were a little more ostentatious.
Earth's Omega -class destroyer was and still is supremely cool to me. Also the utilitarian and cobbled together look or Narn ships had its appeal.
