There's something not right with the texturing. A lot of these ships look like they're made out of rubber wood than they do out of metal. You should try increasing the shine and adding a subtle reflection. Also, the first three ships are obviously racing ships, but the purpose of the other two is not clear. I would consider redesigning the look of them keeping their purpose in mind to make it more obvious.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for your feedback...

These are ships for a mobile game (an endless runner) where the models in game will be very small, so I had to exaggerate the details in order to look good at that size.
I can't go overboard with the metalness because it is set in space where there is not much to reflect, and lighting can be costly on a mobile game (there is only one light, from behind).

As for the designs, I just did the modelling/texturing, the concepts are someone else's, and although I do have some leeway on the creative end, I'm always restricted to the core design guidelines..
As I understand, the basic idea is that there are three factions:

FTC: Ships with state of the art technology, well kept (Speedster, Arrow, Rocket*)
Republic: Alien ships with organic/animal shapes (Fish, Leaf, Wasp*)
Marauders: Junkyard kings with badly kept ships assembled from various scraped parts (Frog, Claws*, Transport*)

* Work in progress (will be posted on this thread as it is released)
