The first one is the only one I like. I haven't warmed up to WOTC's giving the bug look for Vrusk ships. Yes, I think each race would design its own style of ship, but building a ship like a bug is tantamount to a human building a ship in the shape of a human.

Just my two cents.

The Ships are very vorlon-ish?
I agree with Corjay's comments. IMHO I think the best way to give style/ identity to ships is to look at the races history; look to see how this defined them,, i.e. how they handled threats, community structure, idealisms, etc, and apply this to the ship designs. Maybe there should be a rough definition to each of the species. This could be as simple as using a couple of Key words, or basic shape of the ship.

Vrusk 
Key Words
Practical, Logical, efficient.
Shape
Cylindrical/ Spherical - max utilisation of space

...and so on. People could suggest this is restricting, but I find restrictions can give the best designs.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Exactly right.
