Well anyone fancy one? Either from the period of Homeworld 1 or 2? I reckon it could be pretty good

(Sorry about the short post)

As long as it was just the storyline and not the crappy ships they use in HW...I'm also only familiar with HW2, which had a decent storyline.

The original Homeworld's storyline blew HW2s out of the water. Ive played both, and whats wrong with the ships out of Homeworld? *cuddles his heavy cruisers*

The mothership was really the only one I could stand...those torpedo frigates and everything just got to me after a while...they were too specialized. The fighters/bombers/scouts were decent as well, I could say. But the capital ships were a little too...generic.

The capital ships in the original were more specialised, their were two destroyer classes, the missile destroyer and the one with the twin ion cannon

Sound interesting

(any of you guys have the mods?? I have the star wars ones)
I only own HW2

no i dont, i keep getting stuck on the campaign really early on, so i havent played the ending
Homeworld is the trip of the exiles back to Hiigara. Their is another called Homeworld Cataclysm but it isnt mentioned in HW2 and not many people no about it, i dont have it but am looking

I'd be willing to participate with my nation, using a group of lost vessels to meet up with the refugees.

As far as the actual games, I've got them all.

HW 1: good story, good ships (they'd be killed by NS FT, though) and high quality graphics.

HW Cata: I like the MS and its features better, but the rest of the ships are lacking, story is decent. HW 1 level graphics but less pretty things to look at.

HW 2: Great graphics, poor ship design above corvette size, alright story. Hated production and upgrades.

Yeah, the simultaneous production in HW1 made sense, but in HW2 it is screwed up.

So would you like to base it off HW1 or HW2?

From what it sounds, 1 would be better...

Could we do a mix, the story of HW2 is more flexible, but the ships in the original are better, except the new mothership and shipyards are cooler looking.

So 2's story...good, I'm more familiar with that one...

yes but Higaara gets acess to their HW 2 ships and the Kushan ships from the original, just post in the thread an opening post for whatever race you want, someone please choose Vaygr so i can be a Higaraan fleet

I'll be the Vaygr. I kinda like them anyway...though I'd be happy if I wasn't the only Vaygr.

Is there space for a non-HWscript fleet far, far away from home? please?

HW1 or 2 would be nice, I'm tryng to base my ships off HW2 anyway, it isn't easy, but if you multiply all wepons by 5 it comes pretty close to the ammount of wepons other people use.

The biggest problem with 2 is that heavier ships just pwn everything. It takes about 50 frigates to take down a Battle Cruiser. Otherwise, your best bet is to send in ALOT of bombers and try to take out your opponents main weps.

The problem with HW1 is that the ships for both sides are pretty much the same. There is very little variation except in the how the ships look.

With that said if we do HW2 ships I can take either side, I love the Higaarans, but those torpedos that the Vagr use are awesome. Just one thing to make sure of if we do HW2, will the point defence be able to intercept torpedos?

Were doing a mix of HW1 and HW1 ships with a homeworld 2 story line, the Higaarans get Kushan ships aswell as their own.
By the way, the Heavy Cruiser from HW1 would kill a BC any day, its the same size but has no fighters.

Maybe, but you would have to have similar weapon techs.

And the point defence will be able to hit the larger capship torps but the bomber weapons will be moving to fast to be hit

bump

Is there space for a non-HWscript fleet far, far away from home? please?

*cough*

Homeworld is the greatest. By the way its possible to use Homeworld ships in NS effectively, just look at my usage of them. And why not use the PDS mod for the ships. But if I can't use those ships I'm using Kith Somtaaw ships OR I could play the Bentus or T-Mat or the progenitor ships.

Can we get this show on the road?

Why do you want the PDS, i already said you were allowed point defence weapons that shot down some antoship torps,just dont have to many

Kazeckistan, i already said you ocould a couple of posts back, but dont make them more powerful than homeworld ships.

Oops, sorry. Ballance is good...

can I be the higarians from HW 2?
I guess i can find stats for the HW 1 ships, but I never played that game.

Yeah yopu can be, do you want to be the mothership fleet? Im just being an ordinary hiigaaran force.

May I take the role of Karan Sjet?

I'm posting as the Vagyar, so I kinda had to use the Vagyar from HW2 ships since that's all the ships I could find for them...

You've got the Vagyar 'shoot first, never ask questions' thing down pretty good. Let's hope some Higgy comes along and decides to save my ass...

Want info on Homeworld ships? Look here (http://shipyards.relicnews.com/).

EDIT: I want on ship in particular from PDS. The Liirhara, that ship can defeat a Vayger BC, several destroyers and frigates singlehandedly.

EDIT 2: This is Tannishar posting.

That's the exact site I looked at...

Incase anyone's intrested, my MS looks something like this (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/oob/images/ships/14.jpg).

I thought we should have a link to the IC thread here.
