Well, I recently found some really old screenshots of some really old ships, so I figured I may as well post them and start the screenshots thread.
There really needs to be an RIMG tag. Late edit: replaced all tags with RIMG. -Steeveeo
The ship on the left is the VSF Vindicator Cruiser.
It was my first ship, more or less, and sported 16 cruiser beam cannons.
The ship on the right is the VSF Valkyrie Carrer.
It's featured in PaperClip's "Carrier Battle #2" video.
It has a drone bay with four heavy drones and has Photon Torpedoes on the nose.
This is the VSF Valhalla Mothership. It didn't really get to see much action because the prop limit was lowered shortly after I got this thing ready to fly. It had a whopping 15 million core health and had a hangar large enough to fit cruiser sized vessels.
The VSF Vulcan Lancer Dreadnought. And despite it's large size, it is quite a bit smaller than the Valhalla Mothership. It sports two ion beam cannons at 500 mult each, and has 400k core health.
It's been refitted so that it works on Diaspora, but it's a bit too large for the server to cope with most of the time.
The VSF Vindicator Beam Cruiser. It's got two ion beam cannons at 1000 mult each, and has 200k core health.
The CDF Blue Shark Stealth Bomber. It's a work in progress.

*Clipping sucks!*
First decent ship done, still in my heart, the Light Boomer
Work like a charm on another server yet not very good on diaspora, for some weighting reasons.. oO
Doom station?
L'Acadie -En français s'il vous plait
That's NCShark
J-Viper mki
J-Viper mkii ..meh
My only fully flyable and shooting ship on Diaspora, yet. Must I say here that D4RK3 54B3R provided me with the magic ingredient to make it like I wanted. Custom steering fonction, 4 autocannons, 2 machine guns, 2 homing torpedo and 1 emp missile. It can tip on one way the balance of the battle when it's assisting a tank ship, and can seriously annoy a station with it's speed and homing toys. You said dogfight? I dunno, didn't found the opponent yet, are you the one?
J-Viper mkiii again
J-Viper mkiii yet again
The Iron Hawk
Ive tried to keep everything to a strict minimum without loosing firepower. 1 mkii cannon, 2 blasters, 2 x20 rockets pod. No Life support beside batteries and hydrogen so I can save on entities count, I take a suit. No regen of any kind, once it's depleted, you have to come back to get more juice.
This fighter has 3 props, 20 entities beside some chips
I think I've made my point about keeping it low.. oh and I would like to see how much OP it suck from the server... a bare mimimum.
Don't get mad at me, I love all of you with big ass ships and all.
Not true, only if you compress them badly.
JPGs are really good for large, complicated photos at a decent filesize. Again, if you compress them correctly, they turn out fantastic. People just seem to suck at it.
I might just go to 3, however.
Note that none of the actual coding is done yet, apart from the moving doors/engines. I liked the body though, so I made this plan anyway. If the Ion Cannon's still the way I remember it, it should be decent for any situation. Now I just need to find some wastable time in which to hammer out a hybrid E2/Gyropod drive system. Oh, and a sweet GPU HUD.

Also, I have a old EGP project named ICARUS.
Love ya Lambda : ).
I don't actually have a EGP named ICARUS, I just thought it would be funny to post that here. lol.
EDIT: Please use the RIMG tags. -Steeveeo

It was gonna be all high-tech, but then I saw Clear Skies.
Obviously not pictured, but inside the body, there's a bunch of interior rooms which practically make up a entire frigate by themselves, plus a elevator shaft going up to the bridge and down to the cargo bay, which will have a slidey door.

Defence: 70 mill
One of my first ships that i built when i started on the Diaspora server, the reason i built this ship at first was to counter duneD,s infamous nuke cannon (which pretty much worked in some fights). since then it has undergone some improvmeants (well...if you call what you see improvmeants), anyways in my opinion these improvmeants have resulted in very tougth and resilieant titain.

Will post more pics and videos soon! Thanks for letting me join you cool kids
Partly outsourced to a unknown manufacturer, so it's cosy and comfy while still featuring the Spectral Directorate's standard living, ambiguously-sentient armour and powerful ballistics! Look at the space video!
Should be an invaluable asset for lengthy super-spooky recon missions once I get the weapons and propulsion done.
