OK, I give a shot to this topic, first time I publish and make some ships for Starsector.
These are all kitbashed. I'm trying to make a mod of ships just to fill some gap I'm feeling in the game when playing. I've started to make three over but only painted this time.
First a Low-mid tech "patrol" cruiser. Mostly a reason to get a cruiser with heavy ballistic (I hate the flying brick Dominator). Fluff-wise I imagine it is a stop gap measure during AI wars to compensate losses of Dominator and Eagle/Falcon. Spare parts are used to make a cruiser powerfull enough to hold the line but still able to defend itself (not like the Dominator...) or play the role of an escort cruiser.
Second one is a "boss" ship or flagship for pirate. The concept is a ship made of easy prizes from surrending civilian : Drone tender, Venture, Nebula, Gemini... All civilian ships which are not already reconverted by pirates (like the Buffalo, Tarsus and Mudskipper)
The last one is a support destroyer/freighter for Try-Tachion raidong parties. I've always found ridiculous that with such a high level of tech, these fleets need to rely on civilian freighter to get some support or carrier capabilities.
So anyway, hope you will find them not too ugly, this was also the opporunity to get familiar with sprites painting. I've done some small changes on them
