Personally I can't imagine the HW3 mods seeing much use unless they can overcome the general faults of the stock game imo

I didn't realize HW3 was made in UE, huh.

There are certain things about HW3 that are good in their own way. Unreal Engine for starters. A well documented gaming engine. The downside is a very steep learning curve. Now that the mod tools are released we have been seeing what we can, and cant do right now. We can direct port the existing Chronicles ships over to HW3 with little to no changes. Sans what is required to make them work in HW3. We are still learning levels, and environment. Then there is the concern about ModIO blocking certain IP's. Which we are looking into workarounds.

It has been slow going, but once we know. You will know.

NGL I don't think HW3 is better than HWR. Though I guess if it's moddable enough, that's better for these guys to work with.

We are assessing the HW3 mod tools already @smhurley

Are there still plans to port over to Homeworld 3?

@peco There is also some debate on "how" IF we do decide to re-texture the Klingons. Do we give them the bland TOS look? The ENT/TMP-ish look? or something in between?

alright, good to know ^^

@peco
At present there's no plans to retexture anything as HW3 is right around the corner!

the d-7 looks so out of place among the other klingon ships, like the others have grey hulls, glowing red nacelles and more texture, while the d-7 has its TOS look, any plans for that or?

@edenrtaylor2005
Closest thing in the mod is the "Ship Gallery" game mode, you can access it from the skirmish screen

hey is there any way to view these models individually??

We had one shot to save Star Trek.

Axanar.

Sadly it got curb stomped.

Sigh. At least ST seems to come back every 10-15 years? We should get another chance some time around 2035 or so.

Gotta milk Star Trek to death! It seems like every franchise is in a downward spiral as of late.

Paramount rolled in with NFTs for Star Trek? GDit...

Update due to the new official Star Trek: Continuum NFT game, we're the same mod but relabelled~~

Gearbox should have... given this game, lol.

Good to hear! The launcher from Gearbox didn't anticipate giant mod files... need to just not touch it when it's frozen up

Sometimes mods do get corrupted. Always good to give that a try, and even a full clean install of both game and mod, first :)

i was able to get it to run by unsubscribing and resubscribing again for terran empire

Can I get a log from you please? I'm unable to recreate this behaviour

not even able to play as them cause as soon as i start skirmish using terran empire its ends and says defeated

When i try to play as terran empire vs anyone it starts and than ends with me defeated. all the others work fine.

@Amin Yashed
With the current version I tried deathmatch with every starting fleet and Invasion mode as the Terran Empire. It all worked for me. I need more detail from you before I can help sorry

every time i try Terran empire and launch its says i was defeated

@Noah200827
Just posted a fix for that one, thanks.

the terran empire does not work

Rest in peace Firestorm class. You were a beautiful looking ship ;_;
But it's nice to see this mod set updated! ^^

New ship, fed_TOS_ares by Major Stress :D :D :D

Alright, thanks!

@Exo

This is the exact line for you
if (mod(dateDay,2) == 0) and (mod(dateMonth,2) ~= 0) or (mod(dateDay,2) ~= 0) and (mod(dateMonth,2) == 0) then...

So it's a combination, if it's an even numbered day on an odd numbered month it'll show or if it's an odd numbered day on an even numbered month.

Does it appear on the map when it's beyond your field of view? I tried several of the Random Maps today and yesterday and I haven't had it turn up. Though I admit I assumed it would show up on the map even at distance.

Ah! That's very interesting! Thank you!

@Exo
It checks the date, and if it's an odd day (or even day? I forget) then the planet killer spawns!

Hey, was wondering what the spawn mechanics are for the Planet Killer?
It's been awhile since I played this mod, and must say I'm pretty pleased with how it's updated in that absence!

Thanks @Vergil! There's a sizable update coming (for all eras), I'm hoping to get it out this year

Nice! I cant wait to see what you guys have cooked up now! This is my favorite era for ship designs. Cant stand TNG flying apartment buildings tho Post Dominion War ships are cool. Also i love ENT era and yes i know im in the minority. Either way i love your work i just want to see it be as good as it can be.

@Vergil we have a cordial relationship with that mod team, and they have taken pity on us and shared quite a few models with us over the years actually! There's more improved models and new ships that will come through in the next release

What's the mod called? I haven't played SOASE in ages. Give me a reason ;)

Id like to point out a MOD exists for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion that is of the 4 years war. It includes the Ares class and all the other FASA designs. Maybe connect with them for the models? The Mod is very well dont as even the sound effects are just perfect. a Colab between you guys would make my day.

@Danielwillwerth
I already answered these points on the other mod, they're equally applicable here

One of the best mods I've ever played but two things bothers me very much
1. The ships leave no debris behind when they were destroyed
2. the mods are not compatible with other map paks

Every time the game launches for me. It just doesn't load as if I don't have it at all

New update and new change notes are up! Remember, your launcher will *freeze* while it copies the updated mod files!!! Let it finish if you don't want the damned access violation error.

it seams that the miners are particularly troublesome

You're in luck @benjrh, I have this fixed in the current Dev version and am fighting with some technical debt that I'll upload to Steam again after

Also experiencing Fed miner bug -- makes playing almost impossible. Love this mod tho. Hopefully it can be patched. The miners just idle and don't continue to work.

When it works, it works perfectly :D

thats basically what happened

"Did you try turning it off and back on again?" ROFL! IT Crowd <3
