Long ago, when the word 'Hiigara' rang only as a hollow dream, the kiith of Kharak never imagined they would walk the Path to Victory. But, when they reclaimed their Homeworld and proclaimed themselves 'Hiigaran', they believed they had reached their goal. How wrong they were. 150 years after Hiigaran landfall, conflict rages across the Galaxy... Path to Victory is a multiplayer and skirmish mod for Homeworld 2 that adds new units to both Vaygr and Hiigaran Races as well as enabling the Keepers, Raiders and Kadeshi as playable races.
Today you get to look at two more fighters for the Raiders: The Fencer Missile Interceptor and the Thug Bomber.
The Fencer is an agile fighter build on the Bandit chassis and armed with two missile tubes. Not exactly designed for long lasting fights the Fencer has however proven an adept weapon at destroying enemy corvettes and individual fighters.
Unlike most Raider pilots, Fencer pilots pride themselves with their accuracy and precision flying skills. They actually have a respectable hit ratio and tend to be among the deadliest flyboys the Raiders can drum together (they also get paid an additional keg of Meed for their 'services').
The Thug on the other hand is quite the opposite. Lumbering, ungainly and generally ugly, the Thug carries two canister racks stacked full of canister bombs.
Released in much the same way as contemporary depth charges, Thug squadrons can pound enemy capital ships with a seemingly endless barrage of bombs.
While not poweful as an individual fighter, Thugs can weaken larger ships which allows frigates or capital ships to deal with them faster. Just don't expect anything creative from these fighters. They're barely held in a running condition to begin with!
coll background and awesome fighter.
