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!

Progress on FX
FX is still under active development, but right now the focus seems to be on the FX: Empires project. The team has recently finished the testing of v0.1 (Closed Alpha) and is now working on v0.2 Beta, scheduled to be the first public release.
The latest progress on Empires can be checked at the forum: Hwfx.divine-serenity.net
FX Tournament
Our forum and the guys over at GoModders.com are trying to organize a large scale FX Tournament. Before we rush to creating a schedule though we are looking for people who are interested in participating. Skills do not matter, everyone is kind of in the same league. Even stock Hw2 players can join in and participate as the Hiigaran and Vaygr are pretty much the same in FX.
For now I would like to invite everyone reading this over to our forum and vote in the topic we have made for it in the Interactive section: Hwfx.divine-serenity.net
Again, no need to worry about a rush. We will first see who is interested in a tournament and who isn't, after that we will ensure we can find a solution to any technical problems one may have with his/her version and the difference in timezones.
If you have any questions either post them at the forum or reply to this news post. We hope to be able to welcome as many people as possible to this future tournament!
Forum Project
The staff of the forum is also actively working on a HUGE forum project which should be finished soon. Let's just say that it will make the boring, current skin vanish with its awesomeness and should make your forum experience alot more fun.
That's all for now folks, remember that you can check the latest changes by visiting the forum unless you don't mind waiting for me to post a news bulletin here.

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.
Well I hope we will have a more active and lively forum, It will be great!
I hope you're still working on 1.8.6...
Would it be ok if i used the Vaygr Artillery frigate in my HW2 mod all credit would of course go to you.
Would it Be Good Having All the Ships In the Game Be Like BIG Sizes As Life Size Ships by making the Game Looks MORE of the Real Time Space Battle? And bring out New HDD Texture By Replacing The OLD texture To more of Creation Ones??
Thanks For Your Time (:
