Nukemod - Children of Shiva mod for Freespace 2

The mod brings a fleet of pirate ships into the freespace universe. Flying chop shop civilian vessels, Pirates typically load up with retro weapons, gatling guns, mines, and dumb fire nukes. They use these weapons with great effect in the poor economic climate in the post Capella era. Raiding the border systems where the GTVA cannot afford a large military presence.

The GTVA is starting to incorporate more and more Shivan based technology into its ships. Drives become faster and shields get stronger. Small corvettes now bristle with a destroyer's firepower, combined with a rapid hit and run strategy, they hope to be prepaid to fight of any more Shivan incursions.

The Vasudans get some new improvements too. Taking notice of the pirates effective use of old school weapons, they begin equipping their new designs with similar weapons. Some Ancient and Shivan ships make an appearance in the mod as well.

Some other planned features include heavy use of the new lua scripting system. Features such as guidable missiles, remote controllable turrets, blindfire guns, and other features will be included.
