Long ago, when the word 'Hiigara' rang only as a hollow dream, the kiith of Kharak never imagined they would walk the Path to Victory. But, when they reclaimed their Homeworld and proclaimed themselves 'Hiigaran', they believed they had reached their goal. How wrong they were. 150 years after Hiigaran landfall, conflict rages across the Galaxy... Path to Victory is a multiplayer and skirmish mod for Homeworld 2 that adds new units to both Vaygr and Hiigaran Races as well as enabling the Keepers, Raiders and Kadeshi as playable races.
So, two more Kadeshi Strike Craft which I combined to one image to save myself some time.
Fist off the Ion Pod. Works the same way as the Gun Pod except it brings an Ion Cannon instead of anti-figher guns. It's worth noting that this small Ion Cannon doesn't deal a very large ammount of damage but this is made up by the Ion Pod's persistence.
While bombers can not survive long under fire, the Ion Pod can, providing a constant source of heavy weapons fire against capital ships.
Second, the Advanced Swarmer. This ship is the Kadeshi's primary Anti-Corvette ship before you get to frigates. The Advanced Swarmer carries three Splinter guns simmilar to the Gun Pod but rather than being designed to fire rapidly, the Advanced Swarmer fires slower but heavier slugs capable of crushing corvette hulls in no time.
This ship is slow for a fighter and comes in low numbers but is equipped with with abnormaly thick armor and heavy guns. Best used against corvettes, resourcers and platforms. Works well when supported by regular swarmers and heavy swarmers.
Adv swarmer looks alot like a defender from the first. =D
The Kadeshi (and I) got the inspiration from that ship and adadpted it to their own needs ;)
the Advanced swarmer looks like the pods hull with 3 big a$$ guns on it. nice :)
Did you sneak into my house and look at my concept sketches? Your Adv. Swarmer is frighteningly similar to some of my Keseshi sketches....
Not sure if I like the recessing of the ion pod's beam emmiter. My mind can't decide if it wants there to be no apparent emmiter like the Multibeam Frigates ion emmiters, or if it wants to admit that the recessing might be better for this kind of turret. As I write this, I'm leaning slightly more to no recessing, but that may change again like the last seventeen times. The rest of the pod I covered on the other image.
I've been wondering about the recess too. I tried both and figured I liked this better but I dunno, it's something you could go on and on about and never get a really good final answer...
Hmm dunno, don't think I snuck into your house but who knows? Maybe I command a top secret army of nanobots or something :)
The recess looks good, but I don't think there would be room for the Pilot....
Maybe a pair of flat panels that project out while tilting slightly in at each other, maybe the whole projection able to rotate?
Can we have Bentusi race?
The Bentusi are too simmilar to the Keepers. They'd be cool but offer no really new functionality over the Progenitor combat style (relying on large ships). The only other races I'd consider making are:
Turanic Raiders
Taiidan Remnants

Did I make myself clear? ;)
I will in future. But for now, getting the kadesh done is the first step.
ok. It wouldnt be bad if you made your own race either! An idea is a Biological race. So their ships are living creatures. Not something like the beast. Something thats purely organic.
Hmm that would be interesting too... don't really have an oppinion to be honest as I'm so caught up in the kadeshi thing^^
these ships are great i cannot understand that why u r not working on progenitor race..??? because they look carelessly done
Simply because I'm not as passionate about them at the moment and I've been modeling for a grand total of 5 months now, meaning I've only just started getting good.
The keepers need a real rework on so many levels but I don't know if I want to do that. I was thinking of maybe scrapping the keepers but don't know. Either they'll be dropped or reworked from a to z in a future release.
