I've tried the look robot under human look, and it doesn't work.
Nor in anything space oriented is any sort of human on the cover. A good original ship though, works every time. (In spite of what people kept telling me)
The only thing really wrong with your original cover is it's too monochromatic. The ship should be at least 50% bigger, and the thrust should be a different colour from the sun.
Yes. Also, I think if the typography was more striking (or something). It seems a bit bland (to me) for science fiction.
