They just suck. They're all stock green, weapon spammy, badly done, and just plain ugly. The first one is unbearably repetitive.
And you seem to know and consciously realize that they're ugly.
To know what's wrong, read ArcaneDude's advice here. Lurk, and practice.

...and none of the alien ships look alien . I guess you'll be trying to make better ships soon?
Things that need work:
Colors, section variety, weapon placement.
Something other than just the regular stock green would be prefered. =x
Try breaking stuff up a bit designwise, for example the snake looks bland because it's the same few sections over and over. I know sometimes this is the look you want, but it never really turns out looking good.
Try going for less weapons and put them in places where they look like they belong. If you need more firepower you should edit one weapon to be twice as powerful instead of placing another weapon.
Things I like:
The overall design shapes aren't bad, there's potential in most of them if you give them some work and experiment some more.

Thank you sir for having the dignity of warning us in bold before presenting your ships. The level of spam on the first one caused one of my graphics drivers to kill itself, so I am typing this after a restart. Needs color too.

Aren't we the intelligent one.
But yeah, the post Skrim linked you to kinda sums up the problems on this. He has however given you the wrong link.

But, in other reasons, you are a patriot to our rants. And a meatshield too. Coz i think you, good sir, are absolutely right. They look like my ships the first time i came here.
One tip: Most people don't care about ship balancing now, they care mostly about what they see, not what they feel. Aesthetics > Balanced weapons
Second tip: Most people tell me this-Try more than one color which don't clash, ablatives/outlining, fake aegis/effects, stacking and 'normalized' weapon placement. If none of those work, try all.
But about my tips, yeah, your ship is so imbalanced too. So, improve, and you'll be known
Died to gatekeeping and mod arrogance
once again, sorry I'm not crediting who posted this first here, but it wasn't me.

For the terminally hopeless with color wheel points, this does it for you.
For large or complicated ships, accented analogic would be arguably the best, while you'll want analogic, compliment or mono for a small ship, but it still has a wealth of SHADES depicted on screen, so give it a shot.

Thanks for the replies!
...
Thanks for the one pixel movement answer since that was the thing that stopped me from building ships!
Also, thank you all for these links, I will look at them and use it.
After watching at some other ships I have now a general idea of what to make. Thank you all!
( Expect a new race with new ships )

My new miniship:
Karlithy Miniship A1:
It has custom parts and custom colors.
-2 blasters, 5 damage each. Can shoot one bullet every 30 frames.
-4 parts: 2 wings, one main defense part, a front defense part.
Karlithy Miniship A2L
Uses custom parts and colors.
-2 blastersm 5 damage each. Can shoot one bullet every 30 frames.
-6 parts: 2 wings, 1 main defense part, 2 side defense parts, 1 front defense part.
This is the newer version of the Karlithy A1. It is a little more expensive to make, but because of it's smaller wings and more defense, this miniship is better than the A1

Much better.
Though, instead of saying "defense part", you could just say "armor section" or some such thing.
Now try scaling things up.
