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, with the emphasize on battlefield adaptability, simulated by the large amount of available assets with similar albeit different roles.

Mod Description:
Tactical Fleet Simulator (TFS) is a complex modification for Homeworld2
that changes the game style from a slow-paced, rock-paper-scissor type strategy game, to a fast-paced, combat-oriented tactical fleet simulation.

Changes in v2.5.2:
- Vaygr frigate unit caps have been lowered.
- Vaygr FFG-32 Missile Frigate SR-CM-5 rate of fire has been decreased to 7 seconds, ASM-50 proximity burst damage against frigates and subsystems has been decreased, and ASM-50 damage against capital ships has been slightly increased.
- Vaygr multi-role and heavy frigates are all-around less effective against fighters and corvettes.
- FFF-43 Flak Frigate weapon velocity and burst damage against fighters has been increased.
- FFI-44 Mk.1 and Mk.2 Ion Cannon Frigates are less effective against subsystems.
- FC-11B Lance Fighter and Hiigaran CF-17 Pulsar Fighter weapons do more damage against Frigates.
- Standard CV-101 and CVS-74 Carrier frontal and side armor has been increased.
- CVG-103 Strike Carrier MRG-300 turrets are more accurate against frigates.
- The issue with custom badges not showing up has been resolved.

Ya Homeworld is a very unstable game when it come to these big mods. And since it was made for XP, Vista users will have more difficulties with these types of mods.

Hi I have a mac and I've been trying to use the mac version of this mod.
but...
There is only a .big file. Right
But in order to play a launcher is required. Or else the Homeworld2 launcher only plays the original homeworld2 .big file.
Either I need to create a launcher (don't know how)
Or do you perhaps have a launcher?

Suzasuri, you should take a look at this thread on the Macologist forums. Forum.macologist.org
If you can't find the program called Mod Runner that is used to load .big file mods on the Mac OS, they have instructions there for how to manually run the mod.

Ah, thanks. I actually just took a look at that and I was able to manually start the mod using terminal. Pretty good mod btw, thoroughly enjoyed it.

For those of you using Vista,
I don't have windows Vista, so I am not even sure if TFS will run properly on it or not. If there are issues with TFS running on Vista, I would not have the slightest clue as to what might be causing them.
