I finally decided to attempt a spaceship. After my first two [horribly modelled] multirole fighters/dropships, this was a breath of fresh air. Since I am amateur beyond comprehension, I only know a very small amount of keyboard shortcuts and overall things that Blender can accomplish. Therefore, I managed to pull this whole thing off using only Extrude, Loop cut, Scale (on X, Y, and Z axes), Grab/Move (on axes), and Add Cube and Cylinder. I think it turned out pretty well:

The armament consists of:
-2 large contactless railguns
-2 dual coilgun rapid-fire medium turrets
-6 free-electron anti-missile lasers
-4 AA light chaingun turrets
-4 AA medium-heavy chaingun turrets
One thing I'm especially proud of is the Chaingins:
