You're gonna have to play with the lighting quite a bit to nail the Homeworld "feel". Right now all you have is some ships in the game, but the big thing about that game was the light that was cast by the environment. Also, try bumping up the smoothing on those models, especially the Mothership.

If you have any tips on how to smooth the existing geometry without breaking collision detection, please let me know.

Also, is there a way to turn off reflections completely?

A black shinemap might help.

Smoothing has nothing to do with collision detection. What modeling program are you using? If you use anything that exports to .DAE, you can get flawless collision detection with recent PCS2 builds.

Do you mean specular maps (shininess) or environmental mapping (mirror effect) ? The latter is controlled by the alpha channel of the -spec map, so make the alpha channel completely black and you get no environmental reflections, while keeping the specular highlights.

I know various HW2 mods have created HTL HW1 models for their projects; might be worth a look on ModDB.

Aside from the long-dead Requiem War mod, there has been a couple of remade HW1 models at most, and they were never finished and/or ported to the game. All we currently have are directly ported retail HW1 ships.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

There is a member here who is making HTL Taiidani ships.  Perhaps you can contact him.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Is it rapidly going through several texture replacements or how did you do it?

May be useful for others campaigns...

It's actually some clever slight of hand with FRED and models and textures. There's an intermittent ship class with an animated diffuse map that lasts for 15 seconds at a very low framerate.

When the beast infection beam hits the heavy cruiser, a change-ship-class command changes the cruiser to the version with the animated map and damage lightning is added for good effect. After 15 seconds a second change-ship-class replaces the ship with the Beast Heavy Cruiser.

The problem is, half the time this crashes FSO randomly, so if this IS used, its only going to be on a select few missions and orchestrated in FRED. There probably won't be any random ships that fly around and get infected.
