If you don't mind my saying so (in good humour, of course), "whoopee doo!"
I don't know about other people, but when I go to look at a space MOC, the
last thing I want to see is something that looks boring - I want to be wowed
by something far out and amazing-looking, as well as the cool techy detail
bits.
But of course that's merely what I want - I'm sure there are technogeeks who
adore functionality and couldn't care less about form. Sorry to them if I
want a freighter to be more than a gray box with a window at the front,
nozzle on the back and doors on the sides[1]. I firmly believe that we
modelers can and should always aim for both pleasing function _and_ form.

[1] That is not my interpretation of Mark's freighter, which was far more
interesting, having a great interior and his usual excellent detailing (as
has been said elsewhere).
