The Unified Hiigaran Fleet Mod is a pretty basic idea, to combine every Hiigaran/Kushan/Kiith ship into one team.
This is the old derelict carrier retextured with Durandels ship textures from the Onslaught Mod for HWC. The original beastified version of the restored carrier is shown as well.
impressive... I remember a homeworld 1 mod that made the derelicts playable...
Old Hiigarans vs pirates.
Your ship looks 10 times better than in that old mod.
Fantastic work. I hope the fighters will fly in and out in the right way through the hole and not through the ship.
Thank Durandel of the HWC Onslaught mod for those "restored" textures.
The original concept art for the derelict carrier showed the fighter/corvette dockpaths as coming into the ship at a 90 degree angle to the ship and going under that "flap" thing. In any event I won't be working on it more until after this release.
Hmmm...isn't a good idea for this mod too? Giving the derelicts their own fleet with new HW1 style-designs fighters and destroyers. (also new mothership and resource designs) That would be cool and you would have like three fleets Hiigarans from three different periods of time. You could call these the Ancient Hiigarans or something.
However I did read somewhere that there is a restriction in the number of races you can put in HW2, so I don't know if this is possible at all since we already have a lot other races in the mod.
That'll be pretty cool map scenery.
A HW2 version of Karos for a SP or MP would be sweet. (more so MP)
why making another faction @mark11165 ?
Maybe he can just put it to kushan. They have a 2nd carrier (that's the old derilict) kushans found it on karros or in the kadesh nebular and found out that it's technology is much more advanced than their current technology based on taiidan standards. Therefore the carrier costs a bit more than the normal 1 but is heavier armed and carries better anti fighter guns or also even a single ion canon.
Yeah, that's a good idea too. That is what Chris has done in 0.0.2. But now he has put the derelicts in with the pirate team...that's not a bad idea either...they have captured and reverse engineered the derelicts after they were cut off from the supply lines they received from the Taiidan Empire. Both ideas work for me:-)
Still, I'd like to see a destroyer or two in the ancient hiigara design...he does need a destroyer for the pirates, so...
