Apologies
First, I would like to say that due to overwhelming real life issues, the mod is on definite hiatus. No work has been done to the mod since it was published to Steam. Although I would love to continue working on the mod and bringing it over to Remaster, it is a huge undertaking in itself and I just do not have the time to port model and upgrade texture resolution.

I want to say thank you to the fans who have been supportive. I also apologize for those having issues with launching and playing the mod. Legacy issues with graphics cards and operating systems are out of my hand and I also cannot play the mod on Windows 10, nor have a solution for the issue at the moment. I also want to say ♥♥♥♥ the haters, and state that I think it's extremely disrespectful to demand updates, addons, etc. from me after myself and the rest of the team had dedicated tremendous amounts of personal time to bring you what we have now. The team is over, there are maybe two people left, and if you feel like you have what it takes to port the mod to Remaster, then please PM me. Do not make demands, that is selfish. Instead, offer to give up your own personal time to help as many others had done in the past to bring this mod to life. Sorry to come off brash, but this is a very large pet peeve of mine that has evolved from selfless entitlement of fans over the years. I do not owe you anything, nor does the rest of the time, and you need to realize this. We have always worked at our own pace, and will continue to do so. We mod for ourselves, and not for you. The mod is simply for your enjoyment and if you don't enjoy it, then go away. You're not supporting us directly, and never will unless you stand up and take initiative to mod with us. I am not trying to be rude, just honest.

Now that I've got that off my plate, I want to outline my future for Homefront in a much grander scale.

Overall:
* A retexture upsize for all ships, as well as making them compatible with Remaster's new texture system. Surprisingly, the quality of our models competes with the poly count of Remastered ships, and model adjustments will be scarce.
* Better balance tuning to make Covenant vs. UNSC feel like a 2:1 unit ratio.
* Pelicans and Phantoms are too small to include in the mod as a capture unit. The UNSC capture unit will remain the Charon-class frigate with its ODST deployment while a Covenant capture ship is still up in the air.
* Forerunner and Flood faction to be worked on after the UNSC and Covenant are finished.

UNSC:
* Include the Punic and Epoch-class carriers as potential Mothership and Carrier, respectively. This would retire the Atlas-class ship from the roster as it will no longer be useful. Shipyard is still in the air and may be intertwined with the Punic-class supercarrier if a suitable mothership can be found.
* No UNSC Infinity, it does not fit the timeline. It may make a map prop appearance, but that is the extent of its appearance.
* All shipyard models will most likely be done away with, and be used as map props.

Covenant:
* Replace CSO-class with a more ornamental, heavily armored and undergunned CAS-class fit for a Prophet.
* Remove current frigates and flesh out entire race
* Improve shielding dynamics. As it stands, Homeworld Classic had zero shield code. This changed with the Remastered, however, as it allows ships to have custom abilities, which may include shielding

Flood:
* Create a new Flood race that will feel like the HW:C beast faction. They will consist of one mothership, one carrier and multiple types of infection forms. They will be durable, but not too OP and the faction's success relies on capturing enemy ships

Forerunner Remnant:
* Create a Forerunner remnant faction that was left over from the firing of the Halo array, and set free from stasis in a shield world.
* Mothership will be the non-combat Keyship that will teleport units into battle from the foundries on the undisclosed shield world. Their units will be more oriented towards the HW1 Kadeshi faction.

Anyways I hope this clears up confusion. I really want to resume work on the mod but as stated above, there is little time to dedicate. If you're serious about wanting to help the mod, please send me a PM. No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, though. I have been modding since 2010 and I can smell someone trying to get a backstage pass a mile away, so if you don't have anything to show or are not serious enough to get the mod rolling, then please keep walking.

I for one would be fine with it updating REALLY SLOW, it's a great mod and if it takes a lot of time to bring it to the remaster take all the time you need.

Great stuff, I won't be expecting half those promises to be rolled out anytime next year but hey, if you could balance the current units then tbh that's most of what we all are hoping for.

I feel really bad that I cant code or anything like that the best I can do is keep hype with fans in my top comment Ideas for future updates I made. Well I still play this mod as it is and I understand personal problems than a lot of people.... well no ,I know people with worst, but the matter is that I get it, so best of luck dealing with that. I would feel alot better knowing someones life has been restored than a new update. P.S. I love the ideas for each class and if a updates comes out at any time I would be more than glad but PLEASE do not rush for fans just do it on your time. Best of luck from Thebluehaloguy aka Trevor
