The purpose of this thread is to show off some of the different and unusual designs everyone has come up with, to help spark ideas and lead to new, innovative creations. I'll start with a few ships/buildings of my own.
Each of the ships included in this initial post here have been selected for their notable gracefulness, carefully thought out color schemes, and attention to detail. Designs will gradually be added over time. Feel free to include your own unusual approaches.
Planetary Bombardment Ship:

Description:
This ship was originally built to fulfill the need for a design capable of turret spam. It might be difficult to believe, but it was designed in just thirty minutes! The textures were all generated uniquely for this ship, using a procedural generator I had left over from another project. Turrets are all rocket launchers, as well as the main weapon bay, for use against stationary targets.
Weltreich Flagship:

Description:
Lost to the ages, this monolithic design (Pictured here landed at a small moon) took a staggering five months to construct and, due to it's age, exceeded the maximum volume allowed for any spacecraft made today. It saw battle only once, when it served as an advance guard while taking a 20-arc ringworld. The explosions from it's main weapon bay were as large as half the ringworld arcs themselves.
Declaration of Arrival Buildings:

Description:
While they still existed, the purpose of these two structures was to announce the arrival of the Weltreich empire in new systems. Each building encompassed the entire solar system it was built in, projecting either the empire's flag for propaganda or a chaotic mess of colors for the sake of confusion.
