Update #1
Well I'll break it down here. First, as usual, I did this on my own.
-6 factions: RHN (Royal Hiigaran Navy), UVC (United Vaygr Crusade), ITA (Imperial Taiidani Alliance), TRH (Turanic Raider Horde), PHG (Progenitor Honor Guard), BSE (Beast Subversion Entity)
-My custom maps (will have (BF) before them some have a custom music track)
-Runes (affect you and your allies, must be captured unless given to a player by default) ex: Haste, big mobility/speed boost.
-Mod focuses on combat though research exists, no ships require it however to win you will need strike craft and capitals, without capital ships your strike craft have no firepower support, and without strike craft, your capital ships have no cover fire, either way, they will all die (assuming your enemy has enough ships compared to you, say you send in 2 destroyers or cruisers alone and he whips out 6 to 10 bombers/assault corvette, your destroyers will be dead fast). Research trees are similar for better balance i.e. all races have Lvl 1 through 3 armor and speed upgrades that are accessed the same way.
I could probably write a book on what I did so that is all the main stuff that matters when it comes to playing this.
oh btw...the factions...ships are named according to class for example...
hgn interceptor is RHF Perseus
hgn destroyer is RHD Hades
In other words the third letter is the class name, in cases like Fighters and Frigates, a lower case letter of the second letter is added
hgn torp frig is RHFr Poseidon
FIXED (new) Download is now up here Filefront.com
Update #2 (now #3 I guess) this issue with Hiigaran (RHN) resourcers not being able to be built has been fixed in the above DL

btw if anyone wants to play this (hw2 gamespy, hamachi, whatever) my XFire is raaminator
If you don't have XFire it is www.xfire.com
Good way to keep a friends list and play with people. Join groups and stuff too.
hamachi can't play this
hey good mod. I have an Idea. maybe you could add the ancients from stargate and the empire from star wars. also it would be a good idea to make each race unique in their strenghs. like make the beast ships tough but slow. make the taiidan have heavy weapons but lighter armor and the Turranics have high speed and low armor. that sort of thing would make the game more interesting and make players have to ajust strategy.
Well...first, I intend to keep it in the Homeworld universe.
Second, yes I have done that to some extent, Beast is slower and tougher than everyone else and regenerates health faster. Progenitor Keeper Destroyers are more powerful than other race's destroyers, so you can only have 4 (other races get 6). Hiigaran and Vaygr cruisers are more powerful than Taiidan or Turanic cruisers, so you get 3 heavy cruisers as opposed to 2 battlecruisers.
Race's are similar in ways (mostly research) but maintain differences that anyone who pays attention to Homeworld would expect.
ok thank you. maybe you could add the bentusi then they are cool. or mabye the sommtaw as well?
I could use the last race slot (the 7th) but I've had bad experience with the 7th slot it has always been either really buggy or causes crashes when used (mainly when playing with other people).
isnt the main menu music an encounter music from a freelancer mod?
Uh, no? I would have no idea as I have never played Freelancer.
I extracted it from Quake 4
ATTENTION ALL
new (fixed) DL for the mod .big is now up, those who DL'ed already replace ur .big.
