Homeworld Ships

[weylin]

Im a big fan of the game homeworld and have been looking all over the place for a TC mod that includes the whole fleet:P


I thought it would be kinda cool if the ones in this mod where fixed so that
1. Since the engine slits on most homeworld ships (Kushan ones specifically) are long and narrow, that there are more engine trails, instead of one in the center or two on either far side wich makes it look kinda ugly:(

2. It would be cool if the Kushan assault frigate was scaled up to be a capital ship, with its own default themed weaponry and turrets that look like the ones that are currently just glued onto the current model.
The ship has 4 turrets and 2 forward fireing plasma bomb launchers (located in those two black circles on the front) The mars flyer had its own weapons i thought having unique weapons for the homeworld ships would be cool.

3. Maybe a homeworld faction? with there own reputation bar and ID with unique ships and weapons.


I have a bunch of extracted homeworld sound effects that could be added to the weapons if you wanted.



heres a table of the ships and what weapons they could have.

weapon damage shown is to hull and is divided by 2 for shield damage.

Kushan Scout

2x Auto cannons:
Projectile effect: yellow photon projectiles
600 range
600 velocity
8.33 shots per second
130 damage

Kushan Heavy Fighter (Kushan Attack Bomber)

1x Plasma bomb launcher
projectile effect: bretonian sunrail
600 range
400 velocity
0.25 shots per second
7000 damage

Kushan Very Heavy Fighter (Kushan Defender)

This ship has been totally butchered lol, that arm sitting on the top of it is supposed to be one of three arms that are attached to it on those red colored areas on the surface, and the rotary gun thing stuck in its nose is supposed to be glued to the arms:(

3x High velocity guns
Projectile effect: yellow photon
700 range
900 velocity
0.50 shots per second
1500 damage

Kushan Freighter (Kushan Assault Frigate)

4x Massdriver turrets
Projectile effect: Kusari trade lane projectiles
600 range
500 velocity
0.5 shots per second
2500 damage

2x plasma bomb launchers
Projectile effect: Bretonian sunrail effect

Just some ideas:)
