Can you imagine what HOMEWORLD2 would be like if it became an FPS game? Drive your own fighter, and do almost everything: flying, firing and shooting, launching missiles ant torpedos, dropping mines,just like FREELANCER......That's it, HOMEWORLD2 Free Mod will make it......

Description
This mode named racing mode, in which you can drive your fighter or corvette to compete against 5 AI ships. Now I've finished the basic part of this mode, and I'll make it more and more interesting.
Music : Dragon Rider ; Two Step Form Hell. By the way, awesome job! o_o
I agree
I like it. Will each fighter fly differently?
I havn't made them be different with each other, but I will...:)
BTW, I also want to add some equipments for this mode. Does anyone have any good idea about how to get them and what are they? I have five ideas already, one can make you fly faster in several seconds, another can make you skip from current waypoint to next, but I don't konw how to make AI ships be able to use EMP weapon, missile and mine, which are the other three kinds of equipments.
How about something to slow enemies down, and flares to get rid of missiles and mines that are following you.
HW's missiles must have a target, they cannot choose their target automatically unless their targets were destroyed before they could hit them, so...it seems impossible to use a bait or something to get rid of missiles while they are following the player's ship. I can only make some automatic weapons to destroy missiles nearby, but I'll put them on some bigger ships...
Why not put the anti-missile weapons on the fighter? Make the turret invisible, and the muzzle flash FX look something like flares.
I just...well, that will destroy missiles, instead of making them lost their target, and also, this kind of weapon will shoot automatically and have unlimited ammunitions, all these characters make me believe that it should be put on battleships...
OK...I've put some platforms in the map, all their weapons have only EMP effects, you can use your equipments to have some of their ownerships in order to attack your competitors, now the problem is how to get them?
By flying into some special spheres?...Ha...still have no good idea yet...
I would live to fly a vgr missile corvette and take out all the other competitors even if my ship wasn't as fast I would make up for it.
wanna race with destroyers? XD
Working on equipments now, players can use money to apply them. get money by approaching the current waypoint...emm, increasingly interesting...
O_o ............ o_O .... O_O
Would be cool if you could do a Rock N Roll Racing kind of race mechanics
