Tactical Fleet Simulator (3G) mod for Homeworld 2

Awesome mod, good job well done. Only problem is there arent any movers. So what you say, well try playing the single player and you will realise that when you find the battleship you need to dock six movers with it. However you cant build any so you cant dock with it. you cant move it with resource collectors, you cant get it with a marine frigate, you cant dock anything with it apart from the 6 movers. So pleaaaaaaaase include movers so i can carry on with the amazing campaign.

Whoever took time to remake game difficulty settings, should have his/her head checked - no I mean it. At Balcora Gates (level 13) there are some two-dozens of enemy battlecruisers waiting and even full scale fast bomber attacks just merelly scraches the paint on that fleet. If heavy equipment is employed, they run into wall of heavy missiles and perish in seconds. In general great frigate model FFG that pops targets from great distance is so underpowered that it brings a tear into eye (hint, make weapons upgradeable - please, nice please). The only good anti-capital corvet (heavy bomber) can be built in limited quantity (8 is too few) and they are somewhat slow, even compared to frigates.
In conclusion, again I whined about game balance and gave no credit for great effort that has been made - not quite so, cause now I´ll get back to punish myself with that mod, since I freakin´ have to beat that game and best credit for mod is people who waste their time playing it.

Several game-balance problems (especially annoying are droid fighters), minor bugs (like Monitor armor upgrade reducing initial value).
Severe hit to graphics processing (giving missiles to allmost every ship in game is not such a good idea when flight trails ARE ENABLED. I dramatically increased frame rate by reverse evgineering Your mod a bit - it was a HINT for future release).
At first confusing ship stats buildup (all those abrevations reduce enjoyment and give a headache - the range markers are superb though, very comfy).
The second good thing is that this mod can be played in campaign mode ... not too many support that gameplay type. I also suggest to use more modular tech tree in future releace (i.e. some basic chassis can be built in motherhip or other station and afterwards different weaponry can be attached. You used it only on some capital ships, why not on minor ones too?
An finally - keep up a good work ... FASTER, it´s a year 2006 allready guys!

This mod looks good

Hey guys
I'm new at this so please help me out. How do you retrieve the dreadnaught in single player game with the new TFS Mod? Maybe I didn't pay attention somewhere, but I really don't know how to do it.
Thanks

I'm having trouble loading a game in Skirmish mode. Every time it gets to Scarscript it crashes. It probably is something stupid that I haven't thought about doing, but if someone could help me that would be great. I've seen this mod and have to say it seems impressive.

i luv dis mode, i could not belive the amount of fire power put into it all :O
but what i think would be a great addition to hw2 is the progenitors ;)

When i first heard about this mod, i didn't have much hope for it (seeing as how the basic Homeworld 2 laughed maniacally at how weak your fighters/bombers are.) and upon first look, It seemed to complicate the mess of wondering what ship to build. But after testing it out for one game, i was convinced that this was a keeper. everything felt almost perfectly balanced, and fighters/bombers finally have a meaningful role instead of just harrassing other fighter squadrons and picking off resource collectors. As fleetmaster said, the long range missilers add dimensions to fighter rushing. This is a must-have Mod for Homeworld 2!

Awsome modd. Much more better than the origional HW2. I consider this to be the elite version... noobs use the origional to get ready for the hard-play. Its a little complex at first, but now I have the hang of it. Thanks Battlecry.

Wow, I am truly amazed with this mod. I just downloaded the TFS v1.8 version, and I am speechless. This is defiantly how Homeworld 2 was meant to be released, I love the new ships, they make the strategy much more complex. I also like how ships have a more decent amount of weapons; it actually feels like a battlefield now. And another really nice thing about this mod is that fighters are no longer underpowered as they were in the stock Homeworld 2.
This is defiantly the best mod for Homeworld 2, and this is how the game should have been in the first place. Great job.Big Grin! :thumbup:Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!
