Homeworld Ships

[Jinx]

i forgot the post - but someone reskinned some homeworld designs. and wow - they suddenly looked much more the part of freelancer. their models are not really the problem - its their skin.

homeworld is a much more colourful game. colours like yellow and organge dominate in bright levels. the ships look like they are part of it well. freelancer is colourful, too - but not that much. colours like dark blue and dark green appear to dominate - sometimes brown and red. so the homeworld ships look a bit out of place when they come up with a white skin or blue/organge.

furthermore - they were designed so that a computer could draw hundreds of them without loosing too much speed. but freelancer is not a RTS and there are rarely more than a dozen ships on the screen. so thats why the homeworld ships lack detail.

if they were skinned appropriately they would still fit in. the lack of detail is no great issue. they style is OK. the fighters appear to be just a good size. the frigates ( kushan freighter ) are too small, but it works fine ( like igiss said ... the suns, planets and stations are too small either )

leaves the question who would want to reskin them. they are not too popular anyway - so we don t see too many of them around ( especially once we get original design bombers for the factions, there s no need to fly the one popular homeworld design anymore )
