Two New Concept arrivals in the Images for you to examine and scrutinize.
The Combat Shipyard
and
The Strike Frigate
Beta build progress was slowed down due to a heavy workload this month.
but Bataraia's Hammer and the subsystems are in my personal build!
unfortunately a minor issue has come up
some of the new subsystems look weird on the station and Strength of Liberata.
now if no one minds i can work on packaging the build for release.
i can assume your answer but i would not be a good modder with out asking you all first :D
also i got a Big Surprise for you all soon!!!! so follow the mod (if you don't already)
i think your going to like it

FYI i made a new news post to coincide with the concepts i posted, but by a misclick its awaiting Front page authorization.............. oops.......
you need Idea for New Ship or news unit?
By the way as Pirates, could each Hiigaran Carrier the Pirates capture become a Bataraia's Hammer?
Not right away since it would still be a Hiigaran Carrir but there could possible be a way to turn it into Bataraia's Hammer.
Maybe by removing each subsystem the Pirates don't have?
If they don't use advanced research modules then it could be the thing to remove.
As the ship is tranformed into Bataraia's Hammer each module is turned into the Pirate's counterpart.
It's very possible that they use the same modules as the Hiigarans but I don't know and if it's the case maybe there's a other solution to turn a Hiigaran Carrier into Bataraia's Hammer.
i have some experimental Build files, but considering how the pirates have two motherships in a sense and they will be on par Power wise. i would like to stay away from that. now being able to replace them might make its way in. but i am still on the fence about that.
How about making a maximum number of supply for a such ship and if you capture a Hiigaran carrier, if the supply is used it will stay as Hiigaran but if the real one gets destroyed the Hiigaran Carrier is turned into Bataria´s Hammer, recycling each subsystem the pirates don't have and this would also support with money.
If they don't have, they'll get it.
Also this way will allow them to make backups in a limited way as it's only the Hiigaran Carrier that can be used.
i will keep it in mind but it would be low on the Priority list.
Would I extract the .big file into the Data folder?
Keep at this Thunderbolt. Still my fav HW2 mod!!
"The Homeworld Universe Mod (Project) is trying to gather the best of the HW2 communities' work, and put it all in one mod."
now THAT would be facinating.
I saw good works, great ones,
but each has a lack another fills.
all the amazing mods mixed up...
I cannot wait.
sorry, I forgot to tell: I LOVE the new badges.
and listening to Alestorm while playing. goooodie. thanks a lot. :)
