Can you imagine what HOMEWORLD2 would be like if it became an FPS game? Drive your own fighter, and do almost everything: flying, firing and shooting, launching missiles ant torpedos, dropping mines,just like FREELANCER......That's it, HOMEWORLD2 Free Mod will make it......

Description
New UI, new ship, new flying and firing system...
whens the release date? or do you know yet?
I wonder how works the new flying system, epic updates btw! =D
This is epic, by the way, how do you choose a target with the turrets?
Is there a targetting system, like when you choose which target the turrets will fire at and are there any camera modes?
There could be a follow target camera mode in which you always see your ship in front f you but the camera chases the target.
A free camera mode where you decide where to look even after choosing a target to attack.
By the way when you target a enemy, is there any way to display the enemy ship's health and probably a small picture at the left of the enemy life bar?
The camera still needs to be used to decide the direction, so it must focus on player's ship, or the direction would be changed.
And...I've modified the ATI, made the selected ship's name display always, but I don't know whether I can make the ATI display a graph and the distance to player or not, because these data are out of the original game.
Ok, I've already used the ping to display the distance, but graph...why need a graph?
Way to go! :D
Oh boy! I can't wait for you adding Destroyers!
Or Frigates.
Does anybody know the name of the music used in this video? It's epic.
The mod WILL be equally epic if the author starts adding destroyer-size ships. Even better if he makes it multiplayer compatible. Or a way for it to work with ships from other mods (but I guess that's too much to wish for). Imagine a duel of player controlled Hiigaran battlecruiser vs Vaygr battlecruiser. Or two Progenitor dreadnoughts.
Definatelly the best mod Homeworld 2 could have. Homeworld (the first game) had a similar mod, but it was veeery glitchy and only allowed you to take direct control over ships.
The track sounded familiar to me, so i took a look through my Two Steps from Hell collection to see what it was called, and lo and behold! I found it!
Atlas, by Two Steps From Hell. There are also two alternate versions of the track
I'm afraid you won't be able to attain it legally unless you're a licensed media producer, but there's other places to get it *cough*
To the author: I think you should make a version of the mod that would simply allow the player to take control of any ship they built in their fleet, without all those fancy shmancy docking-and-buying-equipment-in-the-shop things.
This is really interesting, playing HW2 in a different way: Becoming a soldier instead of a fleet commander, plenty of fun!
