But they look really cool the way Fractracer does them.

It is like with the first cars, they came with a horse-drawn buggy
chassis. First generation space ships resemble airships for the same
reasons ;-) Later models diverged.
Interestingly, in the novels of E.E. 'Doc' Smith (Skylark series and
Lensman series) written between the 1920's and 1950's space ships were
often of spherical design initially, evolving to tear drop shape for
higher speeds through the 'ether'.

On planet Nekyo (Stars Fomalhaut) the Nekyans Space Ships are flying in
atmosphere and in space, they need wings when they approach to landing...

Nekyo of course, has solved the problem of hybrid powered ships, but
many planets are still struggling with it. We at Tellus still do not
master the technique efficiently. :-)
