Are these models from something, or are they original designs? - robkelk - 05-13-2016

I don't recognize them as being from or inspired by any particular work, but I'm the first to admit I haven't seen and read everything out there.

A few of the models look familiar/similar, almost like one of the modelers started making the Sulacco from Aliens (Assault Destroyer), then personalized the design.
A few remind me of EVE Online ships (Bomber, Torpedo Frigate, Ship Yard, Resource Controller). I've never played the game, but I've encountered the ships in online searches for paper models.

They're not from EVE, they're ships from Homeworld 2.

Thanks.
Now to find out whether they're modeled after the designs from Homeworld 2 or extracted from the game. (The former I can list on the freebie wiki in good conscience; the latter, I can't.) That's a question for a different forum... unless somebody here happens to have the necessary skills and resources.

To muddle things further; Homeworld 2 was published in I think 2005 or so. A remaster of Homeworld 1 and 2 with among other things better graphics was published in 2015.
