I agree. I am now very much looking forward to pitting Trooper's new shipset against Atrocities' Pandoran shipset in a nice, gritty style game. Should be massively fun.

I really like the overall look of that ship, it's not very alien though, more like something humanoids would build (obviously cos it was humans who made it in starship troppers) I like the look of the engines as well, they seem to grab my attention. Overall looking good!
That's one thing that's always kind of bothered me about some of the shipsets that come out. In the case of spaceships, convergeant evolution is bound to happen, so ships will start looking the same, even if they are built by other races. Design differences are bound to make them unique to a species, as each race has a somewhat different set of design requirements. But then that's just me. I don't mind the wild and crazy shipsets that much, but I like the more "down to Earth" ones myself. There's so many ways to make the industrial style ships unique and interesting.

At one point, I wanted to make some shipsets from Jovian Chronicles, specifically Earth and Jupiter's respective space fleets. Unfortunately, the ships in Jovian Chronicles are long and slender, which does not translate well into SEIV sprites, sadly.
