It has been 12 days since FX:Galaxy V1.0.0 first released on Steam Workshop. It now has 1200 downloads(200 in Chinese), MODDB and others make the number reach 1600 in total. Players' support is our energy source. In return for this favor, today, FX:Galaxy have updated to V1.0.4! This new version have not only completely ported all contents of old FX:Commander mod for homeworld2 classic(include Eden and Bentusi Defense), but also developped more as FX:C once planned(e.g. balance the Vaygr).Two months after HW:RM is released, FX:Galaxy have finally reached one of the basic goals of FX mod series, which is a well-balanced, multi-race skirmish mode with enough content.

In the future, we will mainly focus on our main goal: the RPG mode. Meanwhile, we will continue to finish six balanced races, remaster models and further define their tech tree. Besides, as more and more models created, we will also add new races(like bentusi and kushan). They may not have a complete building sequence, so they won't be part of the balanced six-race system. We are not going to balance them, but to make them as part of this mod only for fun, and label them unbalanced.




So, four main contents will be included in FX:Galaxy, they are:
1. Traditional RTS style skirmish mode with six well-balanced races, each one have unique units. Good to play a PVP or PVE mode.
2. Play as other unbalanced races in skirmish mode for fun.
3. Kinds of mini-campaign and game modes, like Eden, bentusi defense and
FX:LF's survival mode.
4. RPG mode. Stay tuned to see this main content we are going to develop for FX:Galaxy!


======================================
*****Attention*****
The Survival mode only supports the Taiidan , Turanic Raiders and Hiigaran for the moment.

Since we are still not familiar with the new model format and scripts of HW:RM, there may be many bugs or glitches. We’ll be happy if you can tell us where those bugs are, but we may not fix them before we know those technical details well.

The Hiigaran and Vaygr are still not well balanced.

The Bentusi are incomplete and lack resource collectors. They should be considered as a beta/testing race.

And this mod should support Multiplayer game, but we haven’t test it yet.

*****Known Issues*****
Capital ship may be stuck after dock into Turanic shipyard.
Some units may be stuck by nearby ships.

===========================================
*****Installation Guide*****
There are 2 options available for installing this mod.
=====================================================
OPTION #1: THE STEAM WORKSHOP.
LINK:
Chinese Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=419150214
English Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=423694988

We recommend this approach since you'll get later RM updates automatically.

Subscribe to the mod in the Steam workshop linked above.
Once you've downloaded it through Steam, launch Remastered and click "Mods" at the bottom right of the launcher window.
Select [EN]FX:Galaxy v1.0 - The Legacy and hit "select". It should now appear under "Selected Mods" in right window.
Then hit "launch" and enjoy the game!
======================================================
OPTION #2: MODDB (MANUAL INSTALL)For those who are not to keep on the Steam Workshop's subscription system and prefer to do things the old-fashioned way.

Download the .ZIP file from our moddb page and extract the .BIG file inside.
Put the FXG.big file into the Remastered's DATA Folder (which should be something like: STEAM\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Data)
Create a NEW SHORTCUT for the executable game main entry [HomeworldRM.exe] (it can be found in ...\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release).
Then you need to add the following commandline to the end of the shortcut's TARGET field (right-click > properties)

For HW1 Campaign, add the following shortcut-commandline:
-mod FXG.big
===========================================
*****About our models*****

we can devide FXC's models into five kinds:

1.Ported models from hw1c, like crafts of taiidan and turanic, these are already replaced by gbx's models.

2.Simple edited classic models, like keeper with capture points, we will replace them as soon as we can edit GBX's models.

3.Kitbashed models based on classic ones, like hgn light cruiser. since GBX are quite opposite on doing so, we have no choice but to use what we have right now.

4.FX remastered models, like tur attack carrier, kad mothership and many taiidan ships. GBX also remastered them, so we are hoping that you could tell us which one you prefer, as for which one will be used finally, that depends on the creators of these FX models.

5.Completely original models. like kad nagual and kpr frigates. right now no one can promise whether these models will be remastered.

In the future, much more original models will be created in FXG, and we believe that their quality will be much better on hw remastered. however, the third kind of models are still cheap and easy to remain style. so we won't give up creating models this way.
