I'm definitely seeing elements from your Liberator redesign, but I like how you're taking it into a distinct direction, big fan of that mentality. Both ships look cool, in particular I'm digging the Brutalist motif for that transport ship, it's a little Dune but not Dune
Quick pencil sketch of the Dominator, trying to figure out the basic shape/layout of it. Still based on the redesign of the Liberator, but I'm thinking I might let it sprout into its own thing. In the meantime, I also found reference for other microphones and I should look at other vintage studio equipment to keep the "microphone turned into a spaceship" vibe alive.
The renders you just posted, the three red switches, they look so satisfying to flip up and down. I imagine they have a nice sturdiness and pleasing clicking noise.
