A legendary joke mod. I had a difficult time to find the name of the author and thought that was lost in time, but after some digging, it was made by the same creator who made Contested Borders Mod for Homeworld 1, by the name of AstroMonkey, wich seems to be a group of people, or was.
While AstroMonkey seems responsible for the Contested Borders mod, Agent036 seems to have been to be the one who made The Duck mod.
The Jst-Online page that hosted The Duck mod and the orignal team's website are gone, but the archived version of the originial authors can still be found on wayback, altough i had to dig REALLY deep to find them.
The .lod and .shp files have a 2018 edit due to them being very old and wasnt able to run with its 2001 edit. This was made to make them functional (atleast for me). Nothing was changed in the shp file aside from the date. It is otherwise historicly preserved.
I do not claim this mod as my own. This is uploaded for archival purposes to preserve history.

here is the long to the archived site of AstroMonkey Web.archive.org
Keep in mind that the download links on that website are dead as well. That page is there for the sake of history now.
Holy crap! My Duck flies again! I was the original author, and I congratulate you on digging this up and making it work again.
Wow nice to hear that from the original creator. I was one of my first mods i downlaoded for HW, so finding this was nostalgic.
Also i didnt notice your comment until now but im happy to hear from one of the original creators :3
