Not only they need to work properly they also need to be of good quality, fitting style and all that. However don't panic. Technical-wise they just need to be made using same techniques vanilla ships made, to have proper surface smooth grouping (hint: use 3ds max to do that right, ms3d can't export 'em properly), not exceeding polycount budget and have good uv mapping job.
Last but not the least - don't do unique texture set for each ship. That's not how things are done in FL. Either use recolored (in material library Dc and Ac properties, not in photoshop!!!) vanilla texture sets or make textures that would be reused by entire shipline.
That being said I do like distinctive style of the old models. Perhaps use them as a design base to create proper ships.
Perhaps I could give it a try but only after omicrons update release. And it'll be ultra expensive.
You'd gain more than ultra expensive if you could make it before Omicron Update But don't push xD if there realy isn't enough time for it, then we'll wait np.
