Orion-class Military Freighter. Used to safely transport military hardware and personnel between assembly sites, or for the recovery and transport of alien equipment, as shown here under heavy escort;
Stats based on my old Heavy Cargo Liner, albeit a touch slower and more unwieldy. Higher AI range and far better armament make it quite dangerous to engage even on it's own, though it's not much of a match for battleships despite high HP. It's front has two compact layers of ablative armour plates designed to soak up incoming damage.
The Orion's core is in the center of the vessel, on that "island" with the two gatblasters and four flak guns.
Click on the image to download it. It's fairly alpha-ish but the BP is included if anyone wants to tweak it to their liking in terms of cargo or to examine it closely and suggest minor alterations. Any apparent 'errors' in cargo placement are likely not errors.
Default cargo is assorted equipment containers and two prongs from alien ships en route to a research and construction site.
Cutaway view to simulate low-density armour and railgun-vulnerable cargo. Also because it looks good.

Sirius-class Stealth Cruiser
Actually based off a teeny tiny Lego ship I made.
The Sirius-class Stealth Cruiser is a silent but deadly nemesis, capable of prolonged wars of attrition and surprise assaults. It's matte black radar and light absorbant hull makes it invisible to even some of the most advanced LIDAR and RADAR systems available.
The Sirius is surprisingly fast and agile, and boasts a powerful accelerator as well as a short-range jump drive and autorepair matrix. It's main weapons are a pair of special beam cannons, linked to capacitor banks mounted in the wings. It also has several missile launchers, and a bank of pulseguns for hit and run strikes or deterring assaults. Finally, six flak cannons make up it's point defenses.
None of it's weapons have been modified.

Uploaded my first set of ships, so I suppose I should post the pics to go with them. There are rather a lot of them, so please bear with me.
The Dirge was an attempt to create a ship which relies on modules rather than conventional weapons, and comes in several different configurations.
Divine Whisper, a mothership-type craft.
Excalibur. Yes, I know the name has probably been used before, but you must admit that it's appropriate. Also, it carries the odd "Config II" addendum, because my first set-up was a bit odd and I like this one much better. It's still in the .zip, if you want to have a look.
Grimnir. Nothing really special about this one, aside from being a bit larger than most of the others.
Hekatonchires. Looks rather like a space station, and fires in all directions.
Keening, one of the stranger ships I've made. The side with the platform fabricator is actually the front; the large, pointy bits are the sides.
No, I don't plan to name any ships Sunder or Wraithguard.
Lament, another more-or-less normal ship.
Last Seed, also normal though with a slightly unusual design.
Pinnacle, a fast ship which fires a broadside of pulse cannons.
Requiem, another fast ship with pulse cannons.
Scarab, for long-range bombardment.
Talon. Short-range attack ship.
Tantalus. Comes in three models.
Tensor. Alien weapons + platform fabricator.
And finally...
Wake. Fun with custom Sidewinders.
