I am sure the devs and admins will never put it all together into a formal event, but lets give this a shot.
Design a SINGLE ship for any of the three main factions. Design it anyway you like. A series of MSPaint drawings, 3D rendering, whatever. Anything you can make a link to in this thread. Then, we all look at them and say "this one is cool" and "I like that one".
Stick with just placing the links in the thread and not posting the whole image(s). It would get crowded fast if every is posting that many images.
As with all contests, i suppose there has to be a deadline.... how about... New Years Day....
And one last thing. Try to make the designs Original, but still noticably of the faction's design. Carefully examine the current ship models for each faction and take note of the common elements. I am sure the designer of the ships will be pleased that we will be so carefully admiring his work.

You know Kit, that reminds me of the destroyers in Homeworld. There wouldn't be any corrolation between the two would there?

Why not just replace the skin for the border cruiser and put the skin of the one polaris made.
note:not talking about removing the border cruiser just its model.

nice. 1 small amendment to the list of 'rules': no creating new ship classes. The design has to be a kind of dessie, dread, frig, cruiser, station, etc. You cannot invent a new ship class. this rule has not been broken by the hammerhead, as it is a dessie. I just wanted to state it before someone else did it. New chassis designs are the whole idea here, but just no "This is the UGTO StarDestroyer. It's twice the size of a dread, and shoots Mirvs at the speed of lasers!... etc, etc."
ill have my design up sooner or later. im really putting some thought into its design and usefulness.

Ok, Here is my design. Its a UGTO Cruiser class vessel.
The idea here was to create a ship that is reasonably strong in front on combat, but not overly special. The dread/cruiser hybrid design for the engines is to create room for the weapon mounts on the rear of the vessel. There is no engine on the center rear of the vessel.
This vessel's role would be to support in combat, but it would really shine in escorting damaged ally ships from the battle. With the nice rear mount, it could cruise up behind a damaged ally and follow them from the battle, taking the hits and still having a few good guns aimed back at any pursuing vessels.
I made its side armor weak to compensate for any 'overpowering' I not may have noticed. All in all, I think it is a reasonably balanced and useful vessel.
Here is the general run-down on ship data:
Weapons:
Rear: 2 P-Torps, 2 P-Cannons, 2 Chem-Lasers
Left: 1 P-Torp, 2 P-Cannons, 2 Chem Lasers
Right: 1 P-Torp, 2 P-Cannons, 2 Chem Lasers
Fore: 3 P-Torps, 3 P-Cannons, 1 Chem-Laser
360-mount: 2 Chem-Lasers
Armor:
Rear: 2 Plates
Left: 1 Plate
Right: 1 Plate
Fore: 2 Plates
Systems:
2 Aux Gen
1 ECCM
3 IE Drives
1 Tach JD
Edit: Oh yeah... forgot to name it.... ummm.... Support Cruiser.

Fattier's is of course disqualified for having a super weapon, un-realistic weapons and armor balancing, and almost 15 seconds worth of effort in drawing it up.

You realise that even 50 CL's probably wouldn't do diddly squat damage?

yes, but consider the possibility of swapping all those lasers for p cannons and you see the overpowerlyness.
