Check out conceptships.org and the accompanying blog. (http://conceptships.blogspot.com/2008/08/concept-ships-by-andrey-yamkovoy.html) It might be good inspiration for modelers looking to break out of whatever paradigm they feel they're trapped in.
I know that most modelers are more starved for time than ideas, but perhaps if you're just getting started, you could try to emulate some of these?
Anyway, I think some of them are pretty cool. Roam back through the archive a ways.

Browsing it now... cool stuff!
-
Ideas achieved... Will post when I have something.
-
So much awesome artwork...
-
Hmmn, lots of cool stuff. Problem is, for anything Freespace related you have to follow a theme so it'll fit within the universe. A lot of those ships, however cool, would not. Regardless, thanks for the link. Will bookmark it.

Definetely bookmarked.

Well, unless you're doing a new species, or a new era. Look at how tremendously real-world ship design has changed in the past thirty years, what with the advent of tumblehome hulls and stealth superstructures and all that. I think you could justify a big stylistic shift.

Well, at times I've pondered doing a Vasudan Fleet like Strattcom's Terrans. But it's never gotten past the sketching stage. It's hard to design something futuristic and yet still recognizable as something else.

The Zeus is a Vaygr mothership, isn't it? Looks awesome in that picture.
It would be great as a new GTSD builded some decades after the Colossus destruction, as the Terran flagship. The Vasudans has a VNSD too, so GTVA has two SDs in its navy. The Alliance gets ready for the return of the Shivans and a Third Great War ;7

The Zeus is the battleship from OGame. Someone definetly MUST model it for in-game use!

I drool over the Terran Battlecruiser.

Actually no, the Zeus ship from that link was inspired very much by the Vaygr's original mothership concept.

Compare that to the OGame battleship:

Which really doesn't look like the Zeus in the above link.
-
Agreed, actually. The engines are completely different, and there are not glowy circles on the side.
-
I meant the previous OGame battleship! Not the new super coloured one.
-
You could, you-know provide a link for people who do not know what O-Game is. :P

It's in the EpicBlue skin as the Battleship. Heck, I'd post direct links to those images if I could right now. The Battleship and the Destroyer in the OGame EpicBlue skin are the best non-FS ships I have ever seen and someone really must model them!
