1 - the least alien-like and most functional design
17 - looks nice. The left side (I guess it's meant to be the front) reminds me a little of the megathron from EVE.

6
18 - but I would change / leave out the strange thingy / handle on the right end.
All in all most designs just look too much like a scifi-guns. I'm missing elements like engines, Antennas, Bridge
I agree that a lot of them look more like guns than ships but I think some of them have potential. Maybe narrow it down based on the comments then start working more on the selected thumbs.
Narrowed it down. I think u guys were confused on the orientation. The engines generally sit on the top left, loading bay underneath, and the front/bridge at right side:
1
2 - nice shape: it gives a lot of weight and mass. Great for a huge Battleship.
8 - I love the bottom part in the middle. I Imagine some Anti-SUrface-Railguns for planetary bombardement. Although the front and backside look to much like a fish.
9 - nice shape. SUggests some speed and manoeuvrability.
they all look like rocket launchers to me, or some early 19th century bullet trains. And I agree with imperator_dk - get rid of the squares and little diagonal hatching - it destroys the flow and looks random. Instead try to support the overall shape with details (aerodynamics, flow, nature,...)

Can't wait to see what it looks like in 3d.

Maybe try to mix 2 and 8.

i think if you mixed and matched 5 and 8 you could get something cool
