I don't think it's hideous, just very simplistic on purpose and trying to look "realistic" according to expectations set up by hard sci-fii movies and TV series.
In reality nobody knows how space combat would look like, you have these guys who think missiles and fighters are going to be king and then you have Terra Invicta which takes the oposite view. Either way both games are interesting and provide that hard scify vibe. Because hard sci-fi isn't about being right about the future, just about taking a serious approach to the setting premisses and making it look realistic and above all coherent within itself.
In the ned for me, as long as graphics are neat and interface is functional I am happy. I value coherence the most.
