That's probably more due to the fact that it is one of your older sets. Not to say that it's out of date, merely that everyone has already downloaded it.

As far as shipsets that make me cringe, I have to point out those sets that don't look like they belong in space. Among that painful tribe I would list such sets as Nintendo (all the ships are turtle shells, game controlers, and kirby's *shudder*), the Fractal Domain (just a bunch of fractal patterns with virtually nothing to distinguish them), the Akah [look like a series of biger smoldering charcoal brickettes(sp?)] and the Space Vikings (sorry Rollo, every time I see a cartoon longboat scoot through the depths of space it makes me cringe).

When it comes to what makes a shipset attractive, I tend to like a staged progression. A similar look for Escort-Destroyer, one for Light-BsttleCruiser, one for BatleShip and Dreadnought, and Baseship by its lonesome. An example would be the way I reordered the Sol Collective to make the Technocratic Enclave.
