@xstar you should check out the remastered version at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=636887139

Also I'm not quite sure what you're refering to with vertical undocking.

Awsome mod !

However the vertical undocking causes issues with the camera.

These are exceedingly pretty ships

@DarkAmbition: It's not true that only 300,000 people survived the war, at least according to the Cataclysm manual (I don't think that the Homeworld 2 manual says anything one way or the other). Rather, it specifically has a much larger number, "Nearly 550,000 of us survived the Exodus from Kharak..." (pg. 4, "History of the Hiigaran Landfall"). Depending on your opinion of the crew size, that corresponds to five or six cryotrays being saved (and in the latter case battle damage killing some Sleepers while they were in cryosleep, which the manual later directly states as happening).

I thought the backstory was quite good, very much in the spirit of the original manual, though I did notice a number of minor errors (misspellings, grammatical issues, etc.) that could probably use with some fixing.

@Commissar Danny: Standard or missile, and in what gametype?

I've got a bug. Anytime I try to build the ferron destroyer, the game freezes.

@Dark Ambition: Thank you for your attention to the story materials. There are a few points in there that I'll have to take a look at for future consistency passes, in particular doublechecking our retelling of the time on kharak and looking for the reference to population numbers in cata. For the rest, however, I must draw your attention to our position as an alternative to HW2's story. As our mod description points it, we have discarded all but a few starting-point elements of Homeworld 2, and as such any contradictions to things in the HW2 story materials aren't things we're concerned with.

That said, I'd like to thank you again for taking the time to read it.

@lukeo7533: Many of those issues will be resolved or handled differently in the remastered version. Not sure what's going on with the survival mode though. If you want to help debug it, add -luatrace to your launch flags and use a site like pastebin to post the contents of the Steam\SteamApps\common\Homeworld\Homeworld2Classic\Bin\Release\hw2.log file after a crash.

I downloaded this mod earlier today and I'm loving the ship variety and the switch-up of styles, I see that this is a mod in progress so the un-modelled ships will eventually have a look to them, I think it would be a better idea in my opinion to replace the block ships with default homeworlds models so that the game stays consistent and you arent left with giant missile firing blocks of death (despite how hilarious it looks at times), I only have one or two foibles with this mod however: 1. The race selection is a choice between "select" and "select" (I know how finicky and annoying LUA script can be) 2. Whenever I rev up survival mode the intro speech gets halfway, cuts-off and then the game crashes. could be my computer doing the second one. 3. The alien frigate with the description "winning" cannot be unlocked even with everyting researched. All in all it is a great mod, but the survival mode crash, if it's not just my computer's fault needs a big fix.

Some of the ships look great and some look rediculous. Even thought what a ship looks like in space does not really matter I rather have cool looking ships when i play.

its just a comment on my part - deleted the mod after i tried it - some of the firgate's&fighters/mothership/refineryships was big grey models after the original HW2/HW1/mod design ships the gun fire sounded off to me like it lacks impact of some sort not the cannon sound tho - cant be more specific then that hope it works as feedback to ya and cant tell ya what fracton it was because there was only 2 faction and both whit the same name (dont remember the name) and i dident understand the setting's for player vs computer tho that might just be me

@606DevilFish: Just saying somethign is a joke isn't really feedback we can act on, you'd have to be more specific about why you don't like them. This is doubly true since the explosion effects have generally been rather well received.

this mod is nice tho its incomplete and most of the ships are not painted yet and the gun/weapon sounds as well as the graphic on the explosions are a joke - note to maker of this mod fix it please

@Hummer, does your graphics card support OpenGL 3.3? Mine only supports OpenGL 2.1 but i can play the classics, however some mods and addons I cant play because of my graphics card. It may be the same for you. Otherwise im not sure what could cause you to crash

Whenever I launch the game together with the mod it doesn't open; it just gets a black screen and then returns to my desktop. Please haaallp D: D:

love homeworld!!

Those are some badass ships you got

This is awesome \o/

Hmmmm ok I'll pass then. I like it when the combat happens with out the use of states dictating everything.

@Tashrinbackup: No. Given the ambition of the rest of the mod, that's a mountain we've declined to climb. I do believe that while the pure physics is preferable for a homeworld game, a fun experince can be made with the HW2 mechanics with proper care.

This looks interesting, but before I play it I'm wondering if you take it back to the classic homeworld 1 and cata and not the crappy hw2 combat system. Guns need to aim and if the target dodges its because it dodged. Not some stupid RNG system saying it hit or not.

Ship models look excellent..

great ship desgin keep up

looks amazing keep up the good work
