Well yeah, but I guess we never really get to see any of the massively techy areas of that, like the bridge. It's all just corridors.

Yeah, but it's a military ship.

Though bit of a stretch could the name be a reference tribute to Walter Hill one of the producers of the Alien series? Come to think of it does that mean David was named after producer David Giller?

I think Walter is a homage to Walter Hill. I had that thought a few days ago.

I think David is just more of a generic name though (but I could be wrong), as in David (v Goliath etc)

According to that video Davids are all called David. Just like there was another Bishop in *gulp* ACM.

Could Walter be an upgrade from the entire David series then? David was David 8. Maybe they started a new line or maybe they allowed David 9s or David 10s to choose their own name?

From Covenant set visit by Joblo:

QuoteWalter is a synthetic minus the human traits that David has. He's straight forward and logical like Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock.

The Walter model was created by the company after the "too human" David model from Prometheus freaked them out.

Walter is a very efficient Butler/Bodyguard/Technician. He's solely there for the purpose of the ship and the crew. There are no complications in his programming like we've seen with Androids in other ALIEN films. He's like Bishop from ALIENS but with less human traits.

Walter can appreciate emotion but it doesn't come into his world of thinking.

David sees Walter as
Spoiler
his kin, perhaps a student or a younger brother.

David doesn't like Walter, if I remember correctly.

Ah, I suppose you're right. That makes more sense.

Corporal Hicks

Aye, that's correct.

Spoiler
Walter is weary of David because he's been online so long without maintenance.
