Edited to add: Aren't Ancient cruisers fairly submarine shaped? Yes, that's an SGA concern, but they debuted around S10 of SG-1.
As for the 30whatevers of the Stargate universe, I've always just thought of them as a riff on Starcraft Battlecruisers, design-wise.
Besides, the Borg have the best idea for interstellar craft; the sphere ships. Yes, there's no real concern for aerodynamics, but with the spheres and decentralized processing (and no "shoot me" bridge), they were very efficient and tactical.
That's something that annoyed me in a lot of SciFi series: One main computer which fails while decentralized processing is for more logical for a warship due to redundancy. Same goes for surge protectors on the bridges...I know the ship got hit, but a console shouldn't explode when the ship gets hit nowhere near it.
Anyway, I like the B5 ships and to some degree the Farscape ships (And the Doctor Who ships and the Tardis ).
