Homeworld 2 FX
Homeworld 2 mod | Coming Dec 15, 2008
Introduction
The FX Mod is a modification for Homeworld2 led by the 9CCN Team, a group of Chinese modders who are known for their work on the popular Gundam SEED modification.
The goal of the FX mod is to bring back all races from Homeworld1 and add a ton of changes to the current Homeworld2. Examples include new units, special abilites, textures, maps, player modes and many more things that cannot be found in any other mods so far.
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'.
Even with the amount of awesome changes that have been made so far the creators say the entire FX concept is done for 50%. Many people have marked this mod as their favorite modification for Homeworld2 when v1.72 got released, and it only gets better!

First of all, this isn't advertising as it concerns the relocation of the homepage/forum of this modification. I just post it to inform all people watching/tracking this mod. Thanks for understanding.
If you have clicked the homepage link you probably ended up a fairly dead FX forum with no topics to reply to. The FX Community has been dormant for some time now, and without realising I uploaded the mod here while we were planning to remake the forums at a different host at the same time. My bad, we all make mistakes which is what we are humans for.
Long story short, we have just finished the construction of a brand new forum, this time running on the latest IPB version, 2.3.4. I'd like to alert all people interested in this mod or tracking it we have a new forum -- with not much content yet as I finished it 2 hours ago -- that will be the new home for the official FX Discussion Community.
There are ton of things to do which will be included within the next few days. So don't worry about the forums looking plain, it'll change soon. For now, please sign up. Thanks in advance.

The FX v 1.72 is very good and I cann play it on Vista with no problem.
But the mod FX 1.81 is bad. I cannot play on XP And Vista. if I make a skirmish game, after the game charching is full I return immediatly on windows :(
you should have done something wrong with/patching, installing or whatever. Remove other mods if you can. it happened to me too.
And I'm sure they've played their own mod once so it's not bad.
You forgot to update the site link in the description, lol.
there is, and ships from HW:cata won't be included because it's non-canon...BUT (there always is a but), the bentusi WILL contain somtaaw ships, because in hw:cata we can find out that some of their ships are bentusi-related
Nothing regarding this matter has been confirmed by 9CCN yet, but as the Somtaaw Acolyte is based on the Bentusi Superacolyte it IS possible the Bentusi MAY have some Somtaaw ships ;)
Nice Mod....
I'm Downloading it ...Ho whant's to play with me Private Mesaje.
hey not to seem obsessive but in the past i have helped other 'good' mods but showing them around to other people or by making bug vids for the teams.
just so you know i have uploaded a vid showing off the Progenitors on youtube its nothing great but if people want to download it or get behind it which i bet they will i have added a link that goes here.
mabey it could get you guys a better/bigger fan base.
Go ahead I'd say, any effort made to help the mod is always appreciated by me and the team. If you want to include a link to the forum, be sure to use the link to the new forum ;)
Thanks and Good Luck

great to see Fx come to modDB
Glad to hear you are enjoying the mod ^^
As for the Beast, it was planned but got scrapped since adding the Beast would add 2 major problems:
1. Making the infection beam and cruise missile (other words: infection) work with the Hw2 engine which is nearly impossible as it is rather limited.
2. Balancing a race that is able to infect almost every ship so it won't rule the match over the other races.
The Beast was planned to be added to FX, a few months ago there were screenshots of infected vessels but as the Hw2 engine only supports 7 races the whole Beast project was scrapped and replaced with the Bentusi, which are said to be 'three races in one'. What this means, only time will tell.
