HOMEWORLD REMASTERED will include 12" light-up spaceship

Gearbox have confirmed that the special edition of their forthcoming re-release of the Homeworld games will include a 12" reproduction of the Pride of Hiigara, the Mothership from Homeworld 2. The spacecraft model will, via USB power, light up.

On the one hand, this is completely pointless. On the other hand, it also looks kind of cool. What is a little mystifying is why they have gone with the Pride from the second game, when the Mothership from the original Homeworld is regarded as being more iconic. The Gearbox Homeworld forums even show a clear preference for the model to be of the original ship.

Homeworld Remastered will be released in the autumn via Steam.
