The ship designer is out now in the the alpha 2.0 patch, so when have a that ship designed feel free to post it here and so others can see what kind of cool things you can build with it.
Its a good job I've already got green eyes otherwise I'd have to get coloured contacts as these designs are Awesome 
Awesome dude, happy to see someone else do a open carrier bay. Really smart use of glowy components, I'll have to keep that in mind!
Another set done!
I've taken some of Rands advice and been mixing different races parts to get the desired look I mucked about and knocked up a B'rel Class Bird of prey I didn't bother with colour scheme as I just wanted to get the shape right.
Klingon B'rel class Bird of Prey:
I've been mucking around and made a newer version of the sabre class starship which I'm quite pleased with as it has a more angular design like the ship itself.
United Federation of Planets custom faction is now up on steam workshop. Those of you who I have sent my ships to can now use them with custom faction.
Creation was a collaboration between Nastytang and myself.
I made a "Making of" for my Victory carrier, if anyone is interested in seeing how I made it or want to make something similar.
Total build time runs at about 12 hours each for the Hyperion, Kirov and Victory. I only use the race-specific parts, partly to keep the designs consistant and partly to not get overwhelmed by all different options.
Ajax Cruiser
I went back to my first design, the Europa Destroyer, and gave it a cosmetic makeover based on all I had learned with the other ships. Changed it to a cruiser to better reflect its actual in-game size.
Looks.. alot better I think 
Vanguard Light Support Cruiser
Made this as a support ship, focused on EW and other gadgets. Build time about 12 hours
Are you making these Ships from Scratch or are you using some Referance Material ? Because thats quite some nice Detailwork and Imagination if made from Scratch.
Thanks! They are all made from scratch. I start out with a basic concept or idea of what I want the ship to look like, then build from there. Sometimes the parts dont allow me to do what I want, sometimes I improvise and it turns out different but great anyway. With that said, I am of course influenced by many sources: Star Wars, Starship Troopers, Wing Commander to name a few. But other than that they are all original just from what I can imagine. The designer really is a fantastic tool, I only wish I could make blinking lights though. You can almost make it as detailed as you wish, but I found after 16-18 rows of parts it becomes very difficult to because of the fps drop.
This looks kind of familiar.
A fast constructor.
first attempt at an R-Type fighter (without reference)
an attempt at the Outlaw Star
and another retro style ship (top view) with animation
I've made a bunch of arthropod ship designs, including ticks, dragonflys, wasps, mosquitos, assassin flys. But, my favorite by far is the scorpion ship. It still needs a couple of minor tweaks.
Ahahaha, that is glorious!
First post and first serious attempt at designing ships. Decided to start small with one of my favorite designs from EVE Online. Meet the Einherji!
Edit: on another note I am trying to figure out where you folks are taking your screenshots or how to change the background/layout of the ship designer. I would appreciate any help!
Wow I am very impressed with your sharlin Cruiser. I tried to make one model but I think I was to inexperienced with the shipdesigner. Compared to your Sharlin Cruiser my work look horrible 
. However, I am quite happy with my whitestar. I would like to add your set to my Minbari game. How do I do that?
Great job m8!
Hey there! Thanks!
Working on the Narn now! All files will be released as part of Gauntlet's Race Mod when 1.1 is out and Steam Workshop is enabled for "true" mods, not just ship designs and custom factions.
Also- PM sent.
Some tiny hull designs...
"Alpha" Gunboat
"Prowler" Fighter
"Void Hunter" Interceptor
Thank you
I did a warlock-ish looking thing as well, but it doesn't come out good..... I am trying to sort out my fleet into (early Era) (mid Era) (Late Era) with the B5 EA fleet as the 'early' humean space exploration using lasers and particle weapons. Eventually they will use Huge hulls with doom rays and such... So the early hulls are all B5 based... but late 'eras' will end up being my designs.... wife of course thinks I am insane, so I only get a few hours a week to work on these things.
One of these days I will make an HUGE hull SDF-1 baeed on Macross/Robotech and mount an insane amount of doom ray in the bow.
Some small hull designs...
Primary roll as gunships or guardians.
"Adder"
"Mamba"
"Viper"
