Introduction
The FX Mod is a modification project for Homeworld2 led by the 9CCN Team, a group of Chinese modders who are mainly known for their work on the popular Gundam SEED modification.

The goal of the FX mod is to bring Homeworld2 to a brand new level. So far this has been done by including the races from Homeworld1 along with new units, abilities, textures, maps, fx, player modes, icons, blueprints etc. Even with the current amount of changes that have been included so far there are still many, many more things that are yet to come and/or improved. Some of the upcoming content cannot be found in any of the other current mods.

The current playable races are the Hiigaran, Vaygr, Taiidan, Kadeshi, Progenitors and Turanic Raiders, each with their own advantages, technology tree and units. The Bentusi are currently being developed and are said to be 'three races in one'. Can you utilize the power of your race the best?

Even with the amount of awesome changes that have been made so far the creators say the entire FX concept is only halfway done. Many people have already marked this mod as their favorite Homeworld2 modification after the release of v1.72, and it only gets better!

Information

Greetings to all of our trackers, how have you been? First off, sorry but there are no updates this time other than the fact FX:Empires is coming close to its first release. Anyways, Christmas is coming close so we have been preparing something for you all to spend the Christmas holidays with: namely a huge, large-scale tournament on the FX mod!

The FX Tournament
In our previous newsletter which was..quite a *cough* while ago we mentioned we were looking into organizing a tournament for the mod. Now, we are happy to announce the planning made it through and thus we at Hwfx, together with the guys at GoModders.com, will be organizing a large-scale FX Tournament!

How does it work? Simply head over to our forum, sign-up in the tournament topic before 20 December and prepare to face off against fellow FX fans in online matches. Based on the number of participants the guys from GoModders may also have some interesting real life prices for you, so sign up now, play your matches and participate in the joint event for a Christmas full of galaxy fights. Instead of presents, give your enemies a charged ionbeam!

College study getting in the way? Your boss at work treating you like a slave? No worries, we will take everyone's busy schedule into consideration and provide you with a deadline that will be long enough for you to play your matches in.

The tournament will be initially ran on FX v1.85 with the v1.1 patch. FX v1.85 does not work for you? Come over to our technical support section, provide us the details and we will try to solve it! Got another version that does work for you? You can still join in the tournament, just post what version you have and we will arrange something.

The Tournament topic can be found here: Hwfx.divine-serenity.net

Any additional updates will be posted in the FX Interactive section found here: Hwfx.divine-serenity.net

Spread the word, invite your friends and prepare for an unforgettable Christmas that will not be marked by peace, but by immense debris fields!

Questions? Reply to this news item or ask them in the tournament topic posted above.

Hope we will be able to welcome alot of you guys to our tournament!

Regards,

You can't even do anything to the HW1 or HWC build managers (they are hardcoded).

Trust me I'm a modder :P

In your forum is a 1.9 version suggestions thread, but the 1.86 hasn't be released.
When we will have the 1.86 released? In October?
I'm not trying to rush nobody.
I just want to know how much left to the release date.
Because of the time passed I hope we will have lot of changes.

Release dates for any projects by 9ccN are always shrouded in fog; they can be released at the ETA or be delayed by weeks or even months. The record so far is a one year delay. Some previews of the upcoming content can be seen by browsing the image gallery here at ModDB.

As for the forum, we are currently in the middle in a big project; some housekeeping for forums/topics (like fixing little mistakes like these) will come up very soon. Soon we will release our forum project that will make your viewing experience alot more fun and better than it is now.
