Not enough skulls. At least Event Horizon had a gothic-esque theme to the main ship.

Which, by the way, always created a sort of disconnect for me. I really enjoy the movie, but what whack-job in the (in-universe) design team for the starship decided, 'You know, forget 'practicality' on the first starship to use faster-than-light travel, let's get some spires and creepy gak up in here'?

you know, that's one thing that has always bugged me about every spaceship ever made... For every single starship that has no atmospheric entry capability, the most efficient design would be a sphere, in a volume:surface area ratio sense of the word. I've only ever seen 2 book/movies that have that stand: Titan AE, and the Prince Roger books by Ringo and Weber...

Tie fighters are spheres with wings.

plus think of the DeathStar.
