The H one is Hevordah, isn't it? Upgrading them for the neo-standard would be a good idea.
I also like the L, B and M in that order. The T may need more windows or something.

Very nice. I like the M the best. Then B, L, T and H in order.

T has some interesting shape potential, but I agree it needs more windows.
The segments of the L design present some interesting possiblities for a whole shipset. Different numbers, sizes, arrangements of round segments.

I like the T without more windows; it looks like the edges need a little smoothing, and maybe the perspective is a little off, but the shape is interesting.

I also like the window effects in the other sets; it sorta looks like pinpoints of light under the skin of the ship.

My final verdict: in order, I like the T, then M, L, H and B. I put B Last because it looks too similar to one of the stock races (I forget which one). I agree that the L ship looks to be the easiest to build a set around, as it looks the most modular. But I like the colors on the M ship better; that purple for the L is a little distracting.
