They have tons of cool UQM art at their website: http://www.androidarts.com/ including this piece.
From the artist: "Ship scaling is a tricky matter. I think Star Control needs to set itself apart from the starship-size measuring contest we see in most sci-fi. Maybe building smaller ships is advantageous in the SC universe, as if there's some sort of sweet spot. Without such a restriction, it's easy to escalate things to 2.5km dreadnoughts battling swarms of 8m attack fighters, and that's not what SC is about. The way the ships in SC move, their armament, and crew count, is more reminiscent of nimble torpedo boats and war planes. Perhaps only the ancient races figured out how to make larger ships practical."
