As far as I know, they weren't. I think maybe Fractalsponge exaggerated them a little bit to make them make more sense.
Longer wings, extra missile sections - compared to most depictions of them:

The X-wing Alliance one (and the Saga Edition Rebellion Campaign Guide) show a Lambda-like prow.
Edited by IronlordSkipray Blastboat for Scum and/or Imperial. One of my favorite ships from the EU books. I see it as a heavy fighter cross between a B-wing and an Aggressor.
Anyone say Hondo ohnaka and the broken horn yet?
Please, please, please - the truly beautiful Assault Gunboat.
Hel-Nah... you get 
and like it!
the wild karrde
HISS-HISS-HISS!!!
the wild karrde
YES! Front turret like a CR90, tons of cargo, crew and team slots, dial like a GR75.
The wild karrde as scum epic
Oh man, thanks for reminding me to check Fractalsponge.
This is such a great set of images.
All of that, man. Just...all of it.
His Stormtrooper Transport almost makes me sorry the thing is gone from canon...almost.
I'd actually buy that Delta shuttle...
...but the other thing that jumps out at me from the image is that even Fractalsponge can't make the Skipray look good.
Or the TIE Hunter...
I don't expect shiny, but I'd like a little more color in the game.
Now that we've seen Leia pilot a N-1 Starfighter... I want that ship in the game. Leia needs to have a pilot card. It is a disservice to the character that she cannot directly fight (as Leia would) in this game. Naboo is featured in Civil War era books and comic books now.
Watch them Release the Gunboat for Armada, but not Xwing! 
I would like to see a universal transport/shuttle ship that can be used for thematic missions. No guns, a few slots for ally-helping upgrades, AND pilot cards for all three factions so it can be interchangeable.
Pulsar Skate
The "Broken Horn/Merchant One" with Cikatro Vizago, Hondo Ohnaka and Azmorigan Crew for Scum.
And for Rebels only "Rebel Veterans" with the T-65-fix. Then I am done modeslwise...! 
I may have answered so sorry for not looking.
After the Imperial Veterans I'm good for fighters. Maybe one for the Rebels if it does over power the X-Wing.
I'd like to see:

In cute lil' squadrons of Heavy Bombers.
We need dat **** K-Dogg & P-Boom-boom first dow.

Also seen in the new Marvel Star Wars comic books attached to Leia...

That's a T-1 Shutte, not a Baudo-class Star Yacht (which is what the Pulsar Skate is).
I like the design of the T-1, though. I might not mind seeing one of those as a mini.
