Tactical Fleet Simulator 3G Mod Description:
Tactical Fleet Simulator (TFS) is a total overhaul of Homeworld2 with the objective of transforming the game into a tactics-oriented combat simulator. Adaptability is required to survive: the large selection of units and high attrition rates combatants requires one to be familiar with the units, their strengths and weaknesses. This enhances the tactical level of gameplay while still retaining real-time strategy elements. Recurring themes are quasi-modern 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 which requires one to be familiarized with specific acronyms and unit types to maintain flexibility. All of this simulates a more immersing, realistic, adrenaline-soaked game experience that the stock version of Homeworld2 failed to deliver. TFS provides Homeworld2 with a relatively balanced, stable and much desired militaristic look and feel.

TFS Features:
The provision of new, more complex strategies and tactics.
 Split-second decisions of what units to build and when to deploy.
 Exhausting battles add to the fatigue of simulated combat.
New ships, weapon systems, abilities and attack behaviors.
 Dynamic weapon systems, unit mobility and far more realistic three-dimensional movement.
 A vast and complex unit selection, each with differing or a slight variance in their role.
New game modes and game options prolong the entertainment factor.
More realistic weapon damage relative to ship armor/health.

here is how it compares
PDS is dead and has been for some time
this mod allows you to play with the new units in campaign, or in multiplayer, or vs CPU
this mod has a lot of replay value
it isnt scripted where the only way you can win is to follow the developers strategy
all around, in my opinion this is the best Homeworld 2 mod out there...period

A great mod. So many new options, so much more depth. Between all of the new units and skirmish options, its just incredible. The only issue I have with it, is the campaign.
I've been experiencing the missions constantly breaking. I am curious, whether it is possible to add a way to force the mission to move on? perhaps not just immediately beat the mission, but to force the scripts to move on to the next part? In the case that units do not appear, objectives do not complete, etc. That would be ENORMOUS help.

Thank you for your work. I'm waiting next release. :D
