Star Wars ships for Homeworld

This page is meant to publish modified (Star Wars) ships for Homeworld. Secondary objective is to provide background information for creating Homeworld MAD animations. You'll find a very extensive Animation Tutorial, and a copy / mirror of Tech's MADing section on this site. 

The ships on this page are mainly intended for use in Homeworld. Only two ships have been made explicitly for Homeworld Cataclysm (the 'MoonFish' modular mothership and the 'Jedi StarFighter'). 'MoonFish' I constructed with the intention to test HWSE capabilities of creating specific Cataclysm PEOs, and to create a modular Cataclysm mothership for the first time. I think it's challenging to create motherships for Homeworld in general.

One of the latest changes to the Tatooine Base MOD has been the creation of  Levels Of Detail  for a few ships.
I used HWSE v.1.41 beta 2 for this, the program for which I programmed mesh-reduction. I also did gun-targeting windows, SHP / MEX cross checking, normals recalculation (for Cataclysm model smoothing), and 3D animation control.

Programming HWSE is nice, but what I like most is creating smooth, continuous meshes with lots of subobjects for heavy animations and turreting. I would like to have animations with every ship I make, although some have to do without because they're not really fit for it. Feel free to tune ships as you like and please drop a note if you really want something changed or improved.
