Sharp edges have two benefits. 1 -  They deflect radar signals better. 
2 -  They deflect supersonic shockwaves better.

Your craft seems to be lacking in both areas.

Also, the thrusters seem too big compared to the rest of the ship.  Look
at a Saturn 5 rocket of the space shuttle.  Fuel tanks are the biggest
part.

I'm sorry to have to resort to nitpicking on your aerospace engineering
skills as I can't possibly attempt to argue intelligently with you on
your modelling and texturing skills.
