I disagree, in an alien ship I would not expect to see any recognizable
details.
This ship looks organic, i.e. grown not designed. Actually that would make
sense. Growing your ship (and possibly generating a new one) from material
acquired during travel is probably more realistic than having a complete
shipyard and an engineering department on board every ship.

in the original posting, I could not disagree more. You realy have watched
too much star wars/strar trek etc. movies. Space is so huge that interstallar
battle is too unlikely to be a realistic option, simply because you can not
find your opponent within a reasonable life expectance of only a few
thousand years. Besides I do not think a civilization that would combine
aggression and space travel technology has any change of surviving for
more than a few centuries, but that is a political issue.
