My team, jkberna and Djodar, my various esteemed collaborators such as Siber and Avatar II of the HW@ mod, and myself are proud to bring you the Galactic Council Mod, a bold project intended to show you just what really was behind those hyperspace gates at the end of the original Homeworld. So far there are three totally new races on the drawing board-- two totally original new races-- the Czalkir and the DR1, and another based off of actual Relic concept art that has come to be called the Lizaanj.
The Vaygr will be getting some more, slightly weapon-toting Tiamat ships to play with in this mod! This will help not only in balancing multiplayer against the more powerful Galactic powers we're adding, but will also come in handy in the proposed SP campaign.
so in this mod the Tmat is dead and the vager contains some of their tecnology?
Correct; just as they assailed Hiigara with those Planet Killers, we're going to take the creative liberty that the Vaygr acquired a bit more Tmat tech when they found those dreadful Starfishes. I had always got the impression that they were another long-dead race along with the Progenitors; quite possibly an opposing species in the conflict that ended the Prog. Empire or even a breakaway of the Proggies themselves (Civil War).
Hmmm... I hope new (T-Mat or otherwise) ships won't make existing units useless for the Hiigarans and Vaygr.
I actually had a very specific function in mind for this particular ship; since the Vaygr seemed to demonstrate only partial mastery of Tiamat ships, and deployed all of the Planet Killers to static positions, I had planned to make this ship function as sort of an ADVANCED platform (in other words, one-shot movement, location defense-- standard platform stuff). That way, even though this ship is far superior to the standard Vaygr Destroyer, you have specific uses for both and in that way building this most assuredly doesn't make the other Destroyer obsolete.
YES someone decided to do T-MAT at last!
