You may not be the only one that would find such stories interesting.
I have a screenshot of my first post to the contributions forum, a ship called the Coralis Severus… such a poor model, but the community helped guide my skillset development. Such a topic could make a nice blog post, no?
What do you mean by a poor model? When I first saw it, it looked like something a mafia godfather would ride in. Someone even put it in a renderer:
Well I mean the first model was quite poor, the one posted way back in 06/07 kind of old. The video you posted utilizes the later 2010 remodel version.
I’ll do up a blog post and include some of my early model screenshots. 
For reference, here’s the fleet render that I assume the OP is referring to:
Some really good ship designs in there.
not to mention the gigantic one.
Which one? I see about seven gigantic ships. (@Hutchings, help out with ship names and factions)
got this from the old forum. that one, on the top…
Oh man, I forgot about the Trireme… It’s such an impractical ship (imo), but I love the design of it…
Google foo on overdrieve …
Can’t remember all the names. Sorry, but the styling appears to be mostly Deltan. There are a few Starfold style ships there too, but the community tended to create ships that fell into the Deltan faction as a default, as it previously had a broader definition.
@Ridh lots of small fighters and corvettes in the picture too if you zoom way in. Does anyone have the render of the small ships still? Can’t seem to find it. (close up of the smaller ships in this image)
can’t find the image of smaller ships anywhere, i only found this…
Alas, as I mentioned earlier in this thread I’d share my first ship submission. One of my first screenshots posted on the old Infinity forums, next to a later revision of the same ship. I’d love to do a version of her for the new engine too, higher resolution etc, but I’d have to find the time for that first.
