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.

Description
From Top to Bottom:
Swarmer
Heavy Swarmer
Pulsar Swarmer
Advanced Swarmer
Gun Pod
Ion Pod
Electronics Pod
I presume the electronics pod is like a combination of a sensors distortion probe, a scout (with EMP), and perhapse cloaking?
I think you have a good lineup for swarmers, maybe need a minelayer pod or capture pod (Kadeshi equivalent to marine frigate) though.
Electronics Pod is Sensors/Scout, Electronics disruption (increases enemy hyperspace cost, reduces acuraccy and does something else I can't remember) and can cloak itself.
Minelayer will be part of their frigates I think. Capture probably too but not quite sure yet. Haven't got any concepts for those yet.
You are way too fast. :)
Wait for the 24 hours and then update, so your mod will get back on the front site and you'll get the new viewers.
good point. Was just trying to get it out fast though, didn't think that far.
you should also create an elite swarmer, something really cool looking and distinctive from the other swarmers so that when you see it, you know its elite. weapons might consist of 2 anti fighter missile pods on the side of the ship for strike craft advantage and on the bottom plasma cannons to shoot down frigates and even capital ships when many are used.
I kind of like this idea actually ;)
Don't know if it can fit in but I'll see if I can find some use for it (the advanced swarmer is already somewhat of an elite swarmer. It can kill anything from fighters to frigates when used in enough numbers but excells against nothing in particular).
Thanks for agreeing with my idea. I know what u mean about the advance swarmer being good against all. I was just thinking that the elite swarmer would be the last swarmer u can build. Like maybe make the research for it be : swarmer chassis---swarmer engine upgrade---swarmer advance armor---swarmer elite chassis---engine output increase---advance weaponry---upgrade plasma. And if you could make ur own effects. You can make its weapons more distinct by changing the color of the plasma it shoots after the upgrade. For example we all know plasma bombs are blue, well maybe once you upgrade the plasma cannons on the elite they will be purple. And when u see them flying around shooting purple plasma u know they are elite.
While I ususally don't do things like that, I think this would actually be really cool for the Kadeshi. I won't be making the model any time soon as I have to all the frigates and utility ships but I won't forget the idea ;)
I wanted a 'super swarmer' kind of ship for the kadeshi anyways. This seems like a good way to slip it in without making it unbalanced.
Have you seen "Kadeshi Crusade" doc?
Strategyplanet.com
Nope, havent. Looking at it now.
Also, if haven't seen it before, there were HW2: Empires mod (dead long ago) with quite good concepts from Tefeari and Vijil. U can find them here, on moddb (I mean the mod and concepts as images in it). Could serve as an inspiration.
Yeah, I've seen those. Wonderful images!
Not sure how many concepts I might be able to turn into something useful but I've a few more fairly good ideas. All I have to do is make them... (timeconsumtion strikes again!)
