That's one of the interesting things about this hobby, no one seems to agree on what looks good, so you mostly have to go on what you like yourself. More than once, I've had people make diametrically opposed suggestions for a ship set, so I've just tried to evaluate their comments and do what looks best to me.
Now to this set, it looks very good! I'll make a couple of suggestions that I think might improve it, but as per above, it's really up to you.
First, on the troops and weapon platforms, I like to see some ground around them. It makes them look less like a ship in space.
Second, the blue nose on the drone does not have the light reflection that the other ships have, so it looks very flat.
Third, you might try for a little more differentiation between the battle station and the starbase.
Fourth, there seems to be some roughness around some of the edges of the space station and battle station, and the carrier series.
Other than that, it looks great! I really like the race portrait and the general theme of the ships.
I hope I'm not coming across as overly critical on the points listed above. I've had a couple of people give me pointers on my races and it helped me to pick up on the details that can really enhance a ship set. I still need that on my sets, and I want to pass on that sort of help. I'm very impressed with your race ideas and want to see them reach their full potential.
