I think my tendency with 'Freelancerish' is more with the texturing of the vessels and less with the actual shape. I believe there's a certain style to how the ships' platings look, and that is where I tend to notice ships seeming 'out of place' ... The Homeworld ships are especially out of place due to the low resolution, low-detail nature of their textures.
Freelancer textures tend to have good detail, sure... however, they also have repeating 'plating' patterns, as well, right?
Currently: Remastering Kiith Somtaaw's Acolyte Fighter. These Homeworld ships need some Sirius work done on them. ^.-
