Personally I think Freespace has a ton of amazing ship designs that would be awesome for Discovery..the ship classes roughly approximate to Disc. ones and are comparative in poly count, etc.

Replacements are currently being made for the Homeworld ships. I think there have been some replacements for some of them, that are going to be in 4.86.
I can imagine to have the first and the second ship in disco, the third doesnt fits me into FL, but there wont be more imports i guess... beside the GMS fighters for 4.86 which are EVE based if i am right :secret:

Models can be based on anything. Jinx's new Persephone model is more or less the Halcyon Carrier from Sins of a Solar Empire.
Point is, they can be based/inspired on/from any game/book/movie/cartoon. The only requirement is for them to fit in the game's atmosphere.
I didn't even bother to read the other posts this time around..
Imported ships from other games, movies, series, anime, mangas, comics or your random image made on deviantart, will at 95% of the time not be even thought as a viable model for Disco.
Some ships get trough how ever, some that are blatant rip-offs from existing ships in other games.
One can always take inspiration from existing ships that are in use and try to make a unique ship.
