Angels Fall First: Naval Combat Operations
Homeworld 2 mod | Released Aug 1, 2008
Angels Fall First is a vast Lucasian universe creation project, begun as a set of short stories and now encompassing a variety of games, mods and art projects created by an international team.
AFF: Naval Combat Operations (NCO), is a standalone Homeworld 2 modification project that seeks to bring the universe of AFF alive for lovers of strategic, space-based warfare.
AFF: NCO seeks to both rebalance and re-invent the gameplay of Relic's award-winning RTS title. Featuring new units, weapons, and a brand-new, totally original universe, AFF will redefine strategic gameplay.
Story:
"The United League of Planets, the greatest peaceful union mankind has ever known, lies in shambles. The once proud coallition of humanity's greatest super-powers now wage bitter war across the cosmos. Now, a devestating war threatens to tear apart all that has become of nearly two centuries of peace.
In grand, imperial fashion the Antarean Empire and its allies seek no less then the utter destruction and domination of the spaceways. Having grown disillusioned with the stagnant pseudo-democracy of the ULP having been disgusted by the League Navy's treatment of so-called "rebel-factions" (The Massacre of Tuatha Rigel, Blood March of Covington), the Antarean Empire seceded from League. This precipitated a split, and eventually dissolution of the ULP as a single entity. As such, the Antareans see themselves as the rightful heirs to supreme galactic power and regard their fellow former League members as guilty by consent, and thus criminals.
Now, the scattered remants of the ULP are now locked in bitter struggle with the Antarean Alliance, the single largest "empire" in all known space. As the massive armadas of the depleted but still sizeable United Space Navy and Antarean Allied Navy grappled at one another, the rest of the galaxy watches with alarm, praying that the winning side will not turn its gaze outward once again. However ten years of war and tragedy have begun to take their toll as new galactic powers begin to emerge along with the discovery of new technologies.
Alliances are formed and broken, conspiracies hatched and foiled, all of this in the shadow of the longest recorded battle in mankind's space-faring history. Both sides have prepared daring and desperate bids to attain victory, but the question is no longer who will come out the winner, but rather how many will die ere the last battle is fought. A famous keeper of past knowledge put it best "In a war on heaven, angels fall first".

Yes ladies and gents, hell has indeed frozen over! AFF: NCO Alpha version 0.8 has finally arrived! Oh, did I mention a name change? AFF: Total Conversion is now AFF: Naval Combat Operations! There are a bevy of changes in store for those brave enough to kick this puppy into the nearest PC!
AFF: NCO Features over 15 new craft, a new resource system, [semi]
working AI, new fx, and music, 0.8 is a whole different kettle of fish from the last release. As always, this is an alpha release. This means that there are alot of things that are potentially broken, crashy, unoptimized and unfinished. I decided to release this build primarily to get the testing under way for the beta, as most of the main art assets have been created. Now on to scripting and fx creation, yar!
Playing this new version is not particularly stable for online play lotsa desych errors when combat gets heavy). Hopefully we'll be able to squash a lot of these as the mod progresses. Also, new ships, fx and updates will trickle in as they get finished from now on, no more year long waits for content (lord willing). I've included some info on the new systems as long as a critical primer for players to get a handle on whats changed, so make sure to check out the official forum post for more detailed information. Enjoy!

I think it's dead *pokes*
So, anyone know when this mod might be finished, . . because it looks very promising. . . :-)
i am haveing the same problem , it wants the homeworld2.exe and my copy of homeworld 2 is not a pirat copy it is store bort when it 1st come out , iv updated it fully to 1.1 and i DLed the copy of AFF from this site which i am hopeing is trusted to not supply a fulty copy , so i dont think this is any problem at ower end , it is your end imo that is doing this , mabey u should go back into the installer u made and check it out for more bugs beucase something isnt right. plus any comments of how to fix this problem wouled be great.
I love how everything looks, now I just want to be able to play it! I downloaded patch 1.1, got it installed and everything, installed the latest AFF mod, installed it and got it on my desktop. double-clicked, eagerly awaiting the glory that was in store, and alas, it couldn't find Homeworld2.exe so I found it myself and clicked on it, only to have the original HW2 load, and not the mod. How do I fix this????
Gwise90, that's probably because you have a pirated or an unpatched homeworld 2. :( can't help you with that, i'm afraid.
Mars+3k, thanks, we're doing what we can. :) Also our website has *finally* recieved a facelift, lol, after having been hacked last year.
Check it out
I just installed it and made a desktop Icon... now it can't find it... help please
Sorry to hear about your setbacks. You guys have a great setting and I'd really like to see it brought to life.
Your concepts are stunning, it'd be ashame if they were never fully realised.
Is your website down?
Thanks ^^
Sorry really for the really long wait... *sigh* it's just that most of us are not professionals (those that are are also working for commercial games), we all got the ever annoying REAL LIFE.
actually asides from the hw2 mod, we've branched out a bit... there are at least two other side projects which hopefully will fully utilize our graphics.
/me looks around fearfully
Shhh!
I still can't talk about them... but soon! :)
/me runs away to hide before alex's ninja assassins find him ->
I am disgust the mod don't progress faster! :s it is a mess to upgrad this mod on HW2 because graphic engin(sorry 4 my bad english) can't put up the somptuouse graphic of the ships and it will be fun that a big group develop this mod and do it a game, because it have a hugepotential. thank to Alex_drake and his team!
If this ever gets done it will be amazing...I mean Relic could even buy this mod and re-sell it as an expansion pack or something like that.
Some of the most beautiful ships and sci-fi artwork I've ever seen.
I've been checking up on AFF for the past 2 maybe 3 years I hopeits done in the next year or so.
