I'm also new to Star Control (although I've heard of it before) but I'm looking for a new PBW game so I decided I'd get involved in this one.
After some research, I'd though I'd play the Vux.
I took one of Atrocities' sets (Illuminati, hope he doesn't mind
) and did a bit of editing to get them looking like Vux ships...
For comparision:
