While AWAAP development is still paused, hope is at hands: Moddb.com
A Wing And A Prayer is a total conversion for the Homeworld 2 engine, moving the action from space combat to early twentieth century aerial battles between a variety of fictional aircraft and airships, ranging from scout fighters up to ironclad super Zeppelins. Drawing on the style of games like "Crimson Skies", and "The Hunt For The Red Baron" and books like "Jack Black and the Ship of Thieves" A Wing And A Prayer will thrust the player into the gold age of flight, as the German Imperial Airforce and the British Royal Flying Corps decide the future of the countries far below, and attempt to uncover why the Kaisers ultimate aerial killing machine has mysteriously disappeared in an Arctic storm.
Features:
[*]Air Pirates Psychotic murdering scum with no sense of honour and out for profit alone, the Air Pirates wouldn't want anyone to think of them as anything else. Robbing the passengers of civillian airships, claiming bounties on enemy ships and scavenging their remains to sell, the Air Pirates make a healthy if unscrupulous living in the skies above Europe. Wanted criminals across the world, there is no love lost between the Pirates and the British and German airforces, and any encounters are likely to be explosive battles to the death.
Another update from those fiendish Air Pirates, showcasing the last of their units (it is a mini-side after all). This time we have the two airship available to the scurvy dogs, as well as the Mercenary Fighter and Pirate Bomber, both vital weapons in the battle for more grog and gold doubloons:
In other news I'm gradually updating the forum, adding old art that for one reason or another has now been dropped, and posting ideas for analysis and comment. Its not too late for new units to be included, if anyone has an idea for an aircraft and they fancy explaining the idea on the forum, or even sketching it out then go right ahead.
As ever the forum can be found here.
...And prepare to be boarded by this weeks showcase, the Air Pirates. A blood thirsty band of scum that cruise the skies on the look out for unsuspecting...
After yet another hiatus, a long weekend has given me the time to get back to focusing on AWAAP and various other projects that had been on the back burner...

Ok and the mod ..?
nice work man, please keep it up! please don't let it die i really like the idea! it reminds me of an old game called "Project Nomads" which is set on the fictional planet Aeres, a fantastic world of gigantic floating islands, which are the remnants of the planet from before it exploded. After Aeres broke apart, the few surviving inhabitants settled on the drifting fragments of the planet.
in the game you could wander across the planet on your island, discovering mysterious artifacts and exploring the ruins of the long dead race of Master Builders. The only place to fall to is the Sea of Flames, the very bottom level of this new world. in project Nomads were also giant flying Battleships and WW1 aircrafts, very similar to this MOD.
this is just like a RTS version of project nomads lol :D
dude this has been dead for years, stop necro-ing the thred
omg, is it dead, all the concepts and ideas are so damn cool
for anybody who has watched Ghibli animated movies this will also appeal to greatly,
sombody save this mod, i wanna play it!
Yes
I love some of these concepts so much that I plan to add zeppelin fortresses into a game me and my friend are making in a steampunk/sci fi universe.
Okay seeing how my modelling skills cant make those airplanes or blimps/zeppelins even possible on the polygon scale, but i have decided to open up my own mod every one, i will call it "Skies of Kharak the first wars" yeah its set inside the Kushan's world war 1.
i would, but i am working on a mod rightnow i am just having issues putting the ships in game, i cant use cfhoded still i would so love this, actually about 2 years ago i fantasized about making a mod similar to this, but then i thought it was impossible, still i gave the idea away today to see who can make this a reality.
I dont think he has much in game. at the moment from what I've seen it's still in concept stage. I only think he ever got one ship in game. What he sould do is realease the work to someone to start it up again. Any volunteers?
