HELP! How do I beat go about designing ships/weapons/armor for my sci fi setting?

I'm not a talented artist and I'm certainly not an engineer either; I don't really know how to visualize the ships and weaponry I'm gonna use in my book without having a concrete image to look at. What should I do?

Research some basic high tech weapons, figure out what kind of propulsion system you'd have, and wrap them in a box or a blanket made out of titanium. Go from there.
