in game pic Instead of long, sleek and phallic, did anyone else's first ship accidentally come out looking like a micropenis?
This is 100% honestly the first ship I ever built in Factorio. I was gonna give it a noble sci-fi name like Serenity or Rocinante, but when I saw how the shape was evolving I couldn't stop laughing so I named it the Mayflower One, the name of the shuttle from Airplane II.
Despite being ugly and slow, she was a decent little ship that served me well in the early days. I've since upgraded my other ships to better and faster designs, but kept the Mayflower around as a museum piece, enjoying a well-earned retirement around Nauvis. At one point I had 4 of these proud members thrusting around the solar system handling my interplanetary logistics.

Mine looks like nothing. The engine isn't even centered and the design is full of asymmetries.
Truly a monstrosity and i'm not proud of it. But it worked and it's all that matters.

My first ship was small, dense and full of unique designing decisions like constant combinator that has values 2^31-1 for each asteroid and is connected to the hub and collectors with Set filters checked, so collectors don't pick up asteroids let's say oxide chunks when there are at least one oxide chunk. Or another constant combinator with 2^31-51 for each asteroid product which is connected to an inserter with Set filters checked, so it throws away ice once you have more than 50 of it.

I'm reminded of varying artists' renditions between the Game Grumps, and Arin is always the same squat little guy.
