all the ships are the same because Space Raiders uses the exact same footage from Battle Beyond the Stars, they both had the same producer Roger Corman who was king of low budget B-Movies. Space Raiders even uses the same score composed for BBTS by James Horner.

Yup, evidently Space Raiders isn't the only film they used BBTS stock footage in because the BBTS ship also appears in "Prison Ship Star Slammer" (1988), an absolutely terrible film, think "Prisoner: Cell Block H" in space

Recycled material
The spaceship used in the movie was recycled for another science-fiction movie blasted by critics, the Roger Corman film Space Raiders.Footage from the movie was used in later movies and games: a clip from the movie (in 3-D) is shown during the movie theater fight scene at the end of Bachelor Party, and footage was also used for the laser disk game Astron Belt. The soundtrack was later recycled by Corman for Raptor and other movies.

I remember playing the Astron Belt Laser Disc Coin-op video game, Galaxy Ranger, Firefox and MACH 3 too.They were fun for a while but the laser disc games were just a short fad mainly due to being problematic to maintain and they didn't do great business compared to regular Coin-op video games.
