Total Conversion placing Lego space ships into Homeworld Remastered game engine. Current version is playable, and should be fairly balanced.
Classic Space and Blacktron fleets have functional tech trees and build menus. A semblance of balancing to be found. For original retail release of Homeworld 2 v1.1 only.
grats man can't wait to try it.
I've tried that. There's one thing I've realised as soon as I started and that's the size range. The largest lego ships are obviously just about the three times bigger than the smallest ones. This is exact, but to me it doesn't exactly work. But I don't know how to solve it or if it even is a problem.
I would scale down the small ones and scale up the large ones about 25%, so they are not in 1:1 scale to each other. I don't think it would be noticeable and it might help. At the same time I would attempt to design my own ships which are a lot bigger than now and I would reclasify the old cruisers to frigates. Like this thing: Brickshelf.com and that I would call a cruiser. And something in between this and the largest ship you have would be a destroyer.
I would also make some lego asteroids: Farm4.static.flickr.com and I would finally make every resources and salvages and damage sprays made out of lego.
That's what I would do anyway. Maybe your plan is different but I think all of that would help.
