R.E.A.R.M. - "Rearmament Expansion And Redesign Mod" is an unofficial Homeworld 2 expansion and it adds number of new interesting and various units.
I figured that I have to show you the modules in long boring shots from all possible angles (which are made bearable with overhyped music), so you can really see it. Since no one looked at "destroyer update 3" I think this is the only way to show it.
Now we can really talk about it. Literally no one like it except me, no one else probably will after watching this, but you can at least dislike it with knowing what it actually is and what it looks like.
Also you are all full of ideas what to do with this. Ok then, why don't you just open Photoshop or Gimp and show me. I really am a LOT interested, because you saw my last attempt to visualize those ideas of yours (sorry but that was funny). But there might be some good ones and I want to see them and seriously discuss them.
Awsome
Looks Awesome Pouk!
Well thank you guys, but to be honest you two are the very first people saying they like it (but I guess you may be commenting just the engines, or the whole video, not the so very disliked defense field generator).
I'm waiting for the certain group of people to show up, so I can hear more interesting things these modules reminds them.
Pouk you're being quite mean about the things that have been said and the Ideas we've presented.
I think that my suggestion https://img22.imageshack.us/f/wtftu.jpg/ at the bottom right was a good one but you placed the spine at a 45 degree angle. I meant for the point to face the rear of the ship to not break up the distinct lines of the Destroyer.
If you ask about opinions in the future I hope you aren't so hostile towards us that are either trying to actually offer legitimate suggestions or just add a humorous comment.
You're new here on the REARM moddb site, so let me explain something.
I was never hostile, I always heard what you people wanted to say, I considered all your suggestions and replied my oppinion about all of them. Positive or negative and when negative, then I always decribed why I didn't like then and how I think they could be improved. I was always like that...
Now I've made this. About first picture it was said that it looks like a "saggy pair of balls" and you were the one who's described them all as genitals. On top of that people started to think what the better location might be and they suddenly wanted them on top like it was a space Titanic.
Pile of stupid ideas and insults, so don't act that surprised.
Yeah and I din't put it 45 degree angle, you said "facing rearwards on that angled bit".
This is a typical case of Dev sais this, community sais that.
All I can say is people have differnt oppinions. So what if they vaguely resemble genitals? I quite like them as they somehow fit with the ship. Maybe I'd have done them differently - actually, I have - but the fact is this is Pouk's mod.
For gods sake, he's one man making one mod the way he wants to. Either offer constructive criticizm or just leave it be as something you don't like 100%. After all, Pouk can't please everyone. A community is hard to deal with as a dev and you guys don't make it easy on Pouk. We're all human - let's not forget that.
agreed.
I think your doing a great job, and if people think that the defensive shield module thingy-mha-jig looks like a pair of saggy balls then they are clearly devoid of any intelligence, and obvious have very odd testicles.
Keep up the good work and ignore the idiots who love to ruin everyone's day.
But yeah, this module idea so should of been implemented in the actually game! It's such a good idea!
You sir, get a thumbs up.
nice work! any eta for final realase?
For the final release? Not at all.
first of all, good job with the news modules ... your ideas are geat pouk!
but i can't see the "destroyer update 3" on moddb. maybe other people can't see it too - maybe that's the reason why no-one made a comment.
the extra engines looks awesome. Fits well the style of the Hig Destroyer
i have a question to the Defesnefieldmodule. will it have animation like the def-frigate? you build the module with the emitter-thing and a foldingbay. i'm sure it will looks fantastic in battle, if the defensefield is active and the emitter flips into position :)
regards Laz.
well despite all the 'I would do it THIS way's regarding the defense field module, it's your choice pouk, and I personally think you made a good choice with it. Its a shame you cant animate subsystems, as I can see how you would have made it come to life, and that in itself is epic.
great work man :)
I really like the modular destroyers SO MUCH FREEDOM
and i really like the new shipyard too
This looks amazing
I know-long time no write, anyway I just don't get how one could dislike the Defencefield module, it emediately reminds me of the Nebulon-B Frigate from star wars.(The rebel hospital ship) which itself was just great. About the Engine Module, As I see it this module with its two cabins could increase the manoeuvrability, while a more compact one as mentioned in the Pictures thread could increase speed and exelleration, well just my little Idea.
Sadly HW2 doesn't allow you to differenciate between the two when adding modifiers.
looks incredible... i want to tried them
crazy idea: why dont made the destroyers with 3 "light" weapons and a master weapon plus the sides weapons. the light weapons can be a single ion cano, the arbiter canons fron the normal destroyer, 2 long barrel artillery canons... and the heavy the heavy ion arbiter and artillery turrents?
GOOD WORK
Wanted to quickly note that I saw the Texture change you made after my suggestion, thanks for that, I think it was worth it.
It is, it does look better, thanks for the suggestion.
Ok sorry for dbl post,
Nice video Pouk, I especially liked the angle at 01:50
One word: awsome. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise: your work is awsome.
This is going to be the Mod of the year when it's released!
I'm sorry to spoil it to you, but no WH2 mod can ever be the Mod of the year. Homeworld mods are not popular enough.
i like the defense thing to an extent i just think it sticks out of the destroyer a bit too much maybe if it had a smaller angle with the main body it would look more streamlined , which i think would be nicer.
possibly.
I concur. The shape, and width are fine now that I've seen it in 3D a bit, but I still think in needs to be pivoted even more backwords than it is now, and maybe extended a little bit to give it more length once it's pivoted more. I don't know for sure about the lengthening, but I am sure about the pivoting.
the vid was being a bit... whats the word? over-epic?
I every video description I'm saying it is exactly that, because I think the shots themselves are boring. I know it's over the top and I said that every time.
i really like the new modules on show but i feel that the defense shield seems too large or maybe if the DF was to slope further back towards the engines for example like a wing rather than sticking out, also what is the song being played because it is freaking awesome :D
Mod Destroyer is my fav unit in all of the homeworld mods now :D
I think that this is one of your best ideas. I really REALLY like mod destroyers, and once this has been implimented i will even consider playing Hiigarans :)
