Advanced mod: Revived is a Home World 2 modification that specializes in taking the 2 existing races and expanding upon them. The idea, is to add in multiple different new ships, re-arm every ship in the game, and specialize each ship with a blended, but still clear role. By giving the player more options, and doing it in a professionalized manner the mod "advances" the gameplay of Homeworld 2 into something different, something more fun, and yet still tactically fulfilling.

Description
Current state of the "Battle Carrier". (Name pending)
Model from the complex mod team, specifically: Baroness, and Oni.
Custom frigate module, and hardpoints are of my own creation.
Interesting... I look forward to trying one out.
If you're asking for a class name it could "Battle Deployer" (instead of carrier), just to get out of routine. "Battle Cover", if it is used as a rear asset or reinforcement. And "Battle Core" if it's a flagship for a flotilla.
Although "Core" is overused in HW2 already.
If you use names for ships, they could be:
astronomical name - Equinox
battle effect name - Torrent
animal name - Buffalo for strength or Antelope for speed
"Assault Carrier" or "Strike Carrier", maybe?
The front side weapon (missile pod, left) is a buildable heavy PDW point.
The middle side weapon (Missile rack with turret, on gray armor) is a buildable heavy anti-ship location.
The sensor slot battle suite that is on the top back of the carrier is a buildable weapon aswell.
The only weapons that are vanilla on this is the 4 barreled Heavy Missile tubes on the side located middle top, and the Point defense guns. So the possible deployment types vary, and it can build fighters, corvettes, and frigates. (P.S. all armaments are mirrored on other side)
So, general information is this: Fielding one of these things can be expensive, but they can bring the fight to anything, anywhere, and use the same unit cap as a normal carrier instead of a new scaled down unit cap. Making it that much more valuable. They are also very likely to be seen in the new campaign... It also has resourcing abilities.
ooo!
