Couldn't resist.
Possibly one of the stupidest things the generator has produced thus far.

I raise

The hell are you guys talking about? You can easily hide these ships in a debris field leftover from a mothership or some sufficiently large craft (like even a starbase) that has been destroyed. Stupid designs, unless used cleverly enough. They hide in plain sight in a junkyard.

You call them stupid, I call them brilliant.

Not to mention, May looks like an exotic build. Better used as a security mine. Hell, you can mount those on the inner walls of a sufficiently large hangar, make them detatchable turrets, pursue a security problem without them expecting the wall-mounted turret to chase them down.

EDIT:
Arachnid-Class Craft:
Huntsman (Gunship)
Harvestman (Resource Collector)
Black-Widow (Battlecruiser)
Brown-Recluse (Shield Craft) (Lateral propulsion to keep focus as a defense platform. Pretty smart design, actually. Looks like a final defense point can be shot through the center "crosshair void" too.)
Skulltilla (Heavy Gunship) (Technically an arachnid; even if from fiction.)
Gold-Skulltilla (Heavy Freighter)

EDIT EDIT:
The Archangels, without and with spaces, look like cargo craft. Light and Medium respectively.

Since badass names don't always guarantee badass ships, I decided to try some silly names.

Foodporn looks pretty speedy.
Hamburger looks reasonably badass.
I kind of like the look of Hampster Dance.
This Poppler looks like it won't take too well to being eaten.
It turns out blasting dudes out of the sky is what the Hokey Pokey is really all about.
And to end this post, have some Dickpics.

Jupiter Class Heavy Fighter

Edit: You know, we should probably make an actual game out of this. Maybe everyone chooses a ship, the GM assigns points and weapons based on the general layout, and we either battle each other or do some sort of epic space opera fleet action sort of thing

Maybe something similar to Stargate Universe?  A highly advanced ship with some heavy damage that is discovered going through the sector of the galaxy (Milky Way size rather than Sol) and a ship is designed to catch up to it by just enough, before it builds up enough speed after refueling to head to the next galaxy (see above.  Could be unknown until the jump), to beam an expeditionary crew on board?

If a game is made using the above or a different scenario, we could have: Pulsar, Hammerfall, Solar, or Skulltilla, or Black-Widow (Having it flipped upside-down for standard operating) as the main ship, with the onboard ships being Firestorm (without the s on the nose), Gabriel, Jupiter, or Huntsman as interceptors,  Aurora or Brown-Recluse as a bomber (after removing the s at the bottom), Katana, Manticore, or Ame-No-Minaka-Nushi as a transport, and  Prism, Tarantula, or Susano-o (sans that extension off the bottom) as a heavy fighter.

Tim Horton's Drinks
Hot Chocolate: Very awesome ship with a small array of guns, plus two MASSIVE cannons.
Hot Apple Cider: Heavily armed carrier
White Hot Chocolate: Very maneuverable carrier
French Vanilla Cappachino: Vertical Take-Off Command Ship (Tilt it forward for flight mode)
Esspresso: Very small heavily armed fighter with ablative armor attached to the front.
Double Double Dark Roast: A Compact Sturdy covert? Thrusters on top and on the sides, so obviously ready for warp speed.
Triple Triple Decaf: A cargo ship with a very tall (somewhat impractical) command station
English Toffee Cappachino: Fleet Command
Iced Cappachino: Definitely an armored carrier
Large 4x4: Orbital Drop Ship
Small 7 creams 7 sugars original blend: Having actually SERVED this drink recently... Ooh, it's some spider-tank chassis, with a tail. Would go good with Hot Chocolate because together they make a mecha. Although I'll keep looking for a better lower half.
Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothy: A small scorpion-fighter with Way-too-much ablitive armor attached to it's front, obscuring it's vision and guns.
Mango Pineapple Fruit Smoothy: An Air-to-Space defense blimp. I guess.
Steeped Tea 1 milk 2 sugars: With it's forward facing missile array and lasers, plus turrets for all-around defense, This pseudo-blimb Corvette is large enough to take on even the biggest Meta-Deathstar.
Extra Large Peppermint Tea with 3 sugars: This one must have energy shields or something because it's quite flimsy.

Booze-Based Ships:
Irish Car Bomb (Heavy Fighter)
Irish Coffee (AWACS / Sentry Craft)
Black Russian (Heavy Tug)
White Russian (Mobile Defense Platform and Security Platform) (The Dude abides. It can haul after it disables the security threat. Efficient.)
Bloody Mary (Multi-Role Heavy Freighter) (Looks really customizable, internally, for all kinds of uses)
Martini (Heavy Scout/Transport)
Gin (Heavy Defense Platform (Shield)) & Tonic (Strike Cruiser (Sword)) (Tandem-Unit. Sword & Shield team of craft.)
Alternatively: Gin & Tonic (Heavy Carrier)
Long Island Iced Tea (Light Carrier)
Grog (Assault Fighter) (Looks like it was designed by a drunk.)
Margarita (Heavy Transport)
Screwdriver (Heavy Dropship)
Tequila Sunrise (Command Ship)
Thirteen Loko (Recon-Fighter)
Bahama Mama (Heavy Battlecruiser)

EDIT:
Chronos (Multi-Role Fighter)
Kairos (Strike Corvette)

Absolute (Heavy Lifter)
Relative (Bomber) (Asymmetrical)

EDIT EDIT:
This is actually inspiring me to do some ship design (as art), and try out a few lazy techniques, inspired by how this works. In summary, I'm gonna craft all sorts of random shapes that look like they would be ship parts, and make my own ships under more controlled conditions (pick and choose imported parts, and how they're applied/mirrored/scaled). In a sense, I feel like doing the manual version of this with parts I make myself in Blender. Just for the hell of it.

It kinda reminds me of how I randomly designed some ships while my mind was falling asleep during some classes (like the bladecraft (aircraft that are also designed with melee combat in mind (Sais, katanas, chakrams, etc.), be it against giant creatures to other ships in an 'honor' form of combat or something; or both.). So to put it, give it a class, a purpose, an idea of scale, and a bunch of random crap, and MacGuyver/A-Team a design based on those factors. Basically, roll a bunch of dice, and work with that; in some cases, see what sticks.

Who knows, I find a design I really like, I'll even put in additional work and detail the hell out of it (using similar methods for the smaller parts/sub-classes). It's like the equivalent of sketching, but with 3D models.

Birthstones: (January to December)
Garnet (Interceptor)
Amethyst (Gunship/Dropship)
Aquamarine (Gun Platform)
Diamond (Heavy Dropship)
Emerald (Heavy Gunship) (MOAR DAKKA!!!)
Pearl (Troop Transport) (Looks like it would cling to a target)
Ruby (Utility Craft) (Looks more like claws than gun emplacements. Also it looks parked.)
Peridot (Heavy Interceptor) (It looks heavily armed and fast.)
Sapphire (4-Armed combat mech) (Looks silly initially, until you flip it 90-degrees forwards. Then it looks like a mech with a missile launcher.)
Opal (Heavy Gunship)
Citrine (Destroyer)
Topaz (Scout/Energy Bomber) (And a pretty nifty one too)

EDIT:
This also kinda makes me want to play some X-Wing again.

Seriously, we have to come up with a forum game using any or all of these designs

Seriously, we have to come up with a forum game using any or all of these designs

I have made a suggestion for what one could be twice.  Even suggested what designs could be used for the home base (before all the recent ones came in) at the top of the page.

Using screenshots and some photoshop skills, or a 3d program to import these in; we can craft some scenes with these models. The screenshot-photoshop method is a lazier approach (Only really requires the names, and a bit of scaling and layering)), and only requires a bit of photoshop skill to compose.

Find one that uses .wrl files and it could be easier as downscaling of the fighters could be kept consistent.
