You have now done everything you need to get it in game. Now choose which slot you want it in. For Homeworld these are the Slots and what the .peo needs to be named to be in that slot. For more detail get the BigViewer. This will allow you to see all the units and files.

For this I’ll place the Steamrunner in the Ion cannon frigate slot on the Kushan side. From above we see that Kushan = r1 and Ion cannon frigate = Ioncannonfrigate. So in Homeworld we need to add this folder with the following structure,
Now place your .peo (renamed to ioncannonfrigate.peo in this case) and its lifs into each LOD folder.
Now all being well you should now see your ship in Homeworld. This should work without any in-game texture corruptions but if you add too many new ships you will need a textures.ll file (out of my league) to avoid texture corruptions.
Another problem is that your ship still is moving and acting like the unit in the slot (in my case the ion cannon frigate). To solve this you have to make a MEX and write a .shp file. These will be dealt in another tutorial.
