I myself would love to lose the stars, but I was really, really hoping to make a symmetrical flag, at least vertically.

The symbol itself isn't quite symmetrical, but otherwise both of those designs are vertically symmetrical.

Welcome to the dieselpunk early space empire we call Vuran. Here, tanks and spaceships alike burn diesel, giant zeppelins pump black smog into the air as they fly, and vast orbtal reflectors compensate for the ludicrous CO2 emissions. Remember your gas masks, the pollution in some areas will kill you outright without it! But you can always just move to the moon, right?

The top flag is OK. I think it could be improved by making the dark and light grey into black and white, or at last a lot closer. For heraldic correctness, the white stripe should be in the centre, but in this case I don't think it's particularly problematic.
For the others, you just seem to be adding random extra stripes and colours. 2 or 3 colours is ideal, 4 is acceptable, any more is pushing it.Generally: stick to the heraldic set (White, Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Black) except when there is a specific reason to use another. Try for good contrast at boundaries. In particular do not use yellow and white next to each other. Blue can be problematic with either green or black - choose your shades carefully. Do not use more than one variant of each colour.
Keeping something from the main flag is good, but you then should be adapting it in ways that fit the specific usage. Combining the civil and naval variants seems wrong unless you have a very good reason. Chevrons, battlements, nested areas are common for military flags, as are various bits of military hardware. Blue, waves, anchors, ropes etc are common options for naval jacks. In neither as are they essential.
The trick is to have clear and reasonably recognisable symbolism without looking too cliched. It can be hard!
Here is a possible set based on the above...General use
Civilian government
Military
Navy

Mine is good enough, but I'd rather it no look so...modern and digital.
