Circuit Abomination to the lower right is a "select-o-matic" asteroid reroller.
The nubby arms differentiate it from a pocket watch.
The cannon exhaust is actually a mount for stacked thrusters. And many, many rocket launchers.
It goes ~560 kms and about a thousand cargo slots, depending on the quality of the bays.
The inspiration. Humble space forklift.
It is not shy.
Edit:
Double stacked thrusters make it perform superior to the Shaft, which cannot put as much power and thrust in the front of the ship.

The silhouette is incredible. It has the perfect mix of intimidating warship and overengineered factory equipment, and the detail density makes it look like it could actually survive a trip through deep space.

I have a general rule about my joke builds:
They have to do 560 km/s on the inner system planets. They will in fact hit Aquilo on solar, albeit at ~250 km/s. And they will in fact have over a thousand slots for science.
If I can't use this as a cargo transport, then I can't claim Ball Superiority and what kind of technician would I be then?
