Simple... the space ship was modeled in Carrara? So you need to save to a Carrara file not others format that is really a conversion. You need to sabe as a CAR file, the native Carrara format.
You can try the tesselation tool to "clean" the mesh... but I dont know if this work in this model now.
Model is pratice, so get back to model it again.
