Tactical Fleet Simulator third generation (TFS 3G) is a complex, total overhaul of Homeworld2 with the objective of transforming the game into a tactics-oriented combat simulator. Recurring themes are quasi-modern (circa 20th century) air and naval doctrines modified for three-dimensional movement, complete with a proper unit classification scheme. Grand strategy plays a significant role, but the emphasis is on battlefield adaptability which is simulated by a large amount of available assets with similar albeit different roles.

Realism is nifty, but not at the sake of fun or awesome.
