Haha, that’s awesome, glad to see I’ve made another convert. Yes, half the fun of Homeworld is just watching. The 60Megs of screencaps on my hd attest to that. :p

   My brothers and I were given a couple of the Terran Trade Authority books when I was like 10, and I spent many, many hours poring over the pictures. Playing, or even watching, Homeworld is basically seeing those books coming alive. I’ve only played the game for a couple of hours... and half of the time I just spend marveling at the beauty of it all. The expense was well worth it for inspiration, even if I don’t do any of those actual ships.

Doing Lego ships for this is a very cool project. I hope you designed the textures to work well with the team colorizing. And I’m curious to see what you do about the mother ship.

At first the textures will be only one color scheme, however engine color will still be changeable. I have considered the possibility of being able to change the ship colors eventually though, it just needs more research.

Thanks for the kind words!

And here’s a fleet shot for y’all, showing all the ships that will be in the mod:
