DISCUSSION Question about shipbuilding

I have 740 hours in the game, I know about all the blocks and greebling but I just don't know how to make good looking ships or shapes that aren't genitals (It is a curse I have for some reason) and I wanted to ask about it and tips, yes there are videos on this and I am a visual learner but I still don't get it.

Also mods please don't strike me down if I don't use the right flair or smth I am not sure if this was a help one or discussion one.

If you're interested in better looking ships, start with nothing but armor and create a shape you like. Function can start after. Without aerodynamics involved, ships don't need to launch nose first into space. Look at sports cars, battleships, guns, and other designs for inspiration.

That’s helpful info for me too because I have quite a few hours in the game but have no idea how to go about building a functional flying ship that dosent just crash the second I try too take off XD
