far flimsier, less reliable, and undergunned

A real piracy trait would be a flimsier, smaller, faster and better armed (as far as the smaller and faster hull can hold weapons) ship. Basically trading durability in for speed and firepower. Your take on it is cool though and fits the lore of your ships. 

Anyway, I applaud this effort. Would be nice to see some variants of familiar Blackrock ships, including stripped down / incomplete ones.

Lol, a faster Desdinova. That's funny.

Lol, a faster Desdinova. That's funny.

A Desdinova with a Burn Drive?

[Cycerin]

Thanks, guys. It might actually have a faster cruise speed than the Desdinova, but its Arcjet Thrusters, while fundamentally the exact same technology, are probably going to have an additional drawback, like building flux.

E: added an even more recent one to the left.

@Cycerin 
maybe its just me but it's a little bit TOO much going on on those hull's
it reminds me a borgs ships a bit (not a star-treck fan) its hard to focus on any peticular part
or in other words, too many small details going on
maybe a few smooth plates wont hurt

[Cycerin]

Yeah, it's really visually cluttered and busy. Just have to figure out how to balance it out.

[Erick Doe]

It does look like the internal layers of the ship though, without the hullplating. It is expected to have a lot more greebles. I prefer the one to the left to the one in the centre.

Bit bored with TuP kitbashes at the moment. Doing my own ship. Art style inspired by both David's Starsector work and Relic's Homeworld. Here's a sketch of the Bantar-class Prospector:

The Bantar functions as a carrier for small cargo- and miningships. It will probably feature things similar to sensor drones and a repair gantry. Probably going to turn this into a small mining faction, like I've been wanting to do for a while now. Note, it is a sketch. The actual sprite will feature much more detailed pixelart.

[MesoTroniK]

More "HomeWorld" style ships for you miner faction would be cool.

[Erick Doe]

I don't want to dedicate 100% to homeworld's artstyle. I still want things to match vanilla Starsector's ships.

After reducing the sketch to the proper scale, adding some shading, detail and weapon mounts:

Far from finished though.

[DeathRay]

Is it just me or does the Higaran Carrier from MesoTroniK's post looks similar to the Tokyo Class Carrier from the X Universe?

Adding more detail. Still not done.

-1x built in mining blaster (front-right rig) - alternatively a medium energy hardpoint
-2x small ballistic turret (centre)
-1x small universal turret (left globe)
-1 launchbay
-unique mining drone system

Not quite happy with how the "fueltank" on the starboard side of the ship is looking. Might have to clean it up and remove those hard black lines.

[GUNINANRUNIN]

Aw! It's cute! :3

[ValkyriaL]

Pygmy Condor! <3

[Erick Doe]

Pygmy Cond- ...Its not a Condor and its not small. 

In fact, it is roughly the size of a Condor. I see what you mean though: the pronged look is somewhat similar to that of the Condor. But that's where the similarity ends.
