Background: PDS is THE first and original wartime simulation mod that brings out the flavour of naval warfare in a real time 3D setting. Units, weapons, tactics all based on our present and future concepts of warfighting. If you like watching space operas and reading David Weber, this mod is for you! We might be restarting development (PDS V13) for an even more comprehensive tactical combat experience. A lot of mods out there borrow from us - we don't have a credits list but just ask around.
Point Defense Systems V11 - Far Eastern Operations BETA 8 Warning: This release showcases the new method of rapid ship prototyping made possible by the excellent CFHod Editor. Actual gameplay relies on tried and true Skirmish mechanics and the individual ship test scenarios, both selectable via the Skirmish vs CPU menu. You get: 5 New ships Invasion Gametype, with carriers auto-deploying their own strike flotillas Many enhancements to gameplay as well as scripting update to Sun Tzu's New Duel mode to add V11 ships to the list of deployable craft. Installation: Unzip to Homeworld 2 directory (C:Program FIles\Sierra\Homeworld 2\ for example), then add the parameter -overridebigfile to your HW2 Desktop Shortcut.
omg i love this mod =D
Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!
who dosent like this mod is looooool
wait what do u mean by-overridebigfile to your HW2 Desktop ? i don't get it
it means that you hafto create shortcup of Homeworld 2.Right click it.And ad where it says target at the eand["D:\PROGRAM FILES\Sierra\Homeworld2\ Bin\ Release\ Homeworld2.exe" -overridebigfile]
P.S sory for my bad english
ok it doesn't wor now i ****** my gmae up :( help some one how do i get this 2 work !?
if your game has stopped working insert game disk, open up control panel go to ada and remove programs (programs & Features in windows vista) then click on homeworld 2 and tell it to repair, it will place all files back to the correct configuration without deleting your user infomation, test to make sure then game is working then try to install the mod again. . .
I,ve got the same problem, 'cept when im putting -overridebigfile into the target box, vista says it isnt a "valid destination" and halts me. whatever way i do it.
Well, I best download this mod before it gets shut down due to copyright of stealing ships...Thanks for the mod. ^_^
You're quite mistaken PDS created the ships for itself for others to borrow with/without permission. There isn't a full credits list because it would be a few pages long, period.
I am having some problems installing the mod. I put the data file where it needs to be and thats pretty straight forward but i think my shortcut might not be right.
" D:\ Program Files\ Sierra\ PDSHomeworld2\ Bin\ Release\ Homeworld2.exe " -overridebigfile
also would it make a difference that i had a different mod installed via a .big only copyied my homeworld game to a new folder as the above link shows. would that interfere with a clean mod install?
Does it break my HW2 installation?
It seems to replace many files.
how do i install this mod help!!
some 1 tell me why most mod dont work on my laptop (vista)
It says at the top of this page:

EVERYBODY!! To install Unzip to "C:Program FIles\Sierra\Homeworld 2\ not "C:Program FIles\Sierra\Homeworld 2\Data. Then add the -overridebigfile to the end of the new shortcut.
The problem I have with this mod is that whenever i try to move a capital ship it cancels the order instantly, same with hyperspace and attack. Then it goes off and starts attacking something I dont want it to attack.
Unzip to Homeworld 2 directory (C:Program FIles\Sierra\Homeworld 2\ for example), then add the parameter -overridebigfile to your HW2 Desktop Shortcut. I dont know how to owerride bigfile to hw2 desktop shortcut :-( please help
