I don't mind it disappearing when seen from the side, just have 2D be part of its race characteristics.

I'd delete any "2d" set in a heart-beat. It would be really annoying for gameplay (much like "invisible" sets like the Jrii). Just use some spheres and be done with it.

A thin rectangle or amalgamation of rectangles with a fractal texture might work out nicely.

Thin but still very clearly visible from all angles?

Well I would probably mix and match rectangles into a 3d shape with the texture applied - sort of like making a "paper-doll" model of a space ship etc. This would make it visible from all angles, but keeping a 2d-ness about the design.
