I never thought of that it would be realy cool to see.  I am a Homeworld fan myself and i think that seeing all of the Homeworld ships in massive battle formations would make an excellent mod for Sins.

This sounds good, even though It'll probably never happen. While I'm playing 7DS, The MArza Missles look like Vaygr, the Fighters in their Squadrons are HW2 Squads, and Beams look like Ion Beams, ETC.

I'd love to see though, the Taiidan make a return. I didn't like the Vaygr as so much as I loved the Taiidan.

Or maybe, Vaygr VS. Taiidan even if it's not canon?

Its not possible atm, Hiigaran ships like the corvettes, destroyers and battlecuisers all use animated turrets :pout:

Well, who says we have to use the EXACT SAME ships?  I mean lots of thing use turrets.  The Battlefleet Gothic ships use turrets, and you don't see the BFG mod complaining.  No, they just decided to say the hell with it and make their ships as similar as they could.

 

We know a lot about the overall armaments of the Hiigaran, Vaygr, Taiidan, and Turanic ships.  So all that needs to be done is an APPROXIMATE conversion of those weapons and designs into ships/structures suitable for Sins.

I heard that DanMan is involved in some sort of HW2 mod SoaSE

Don't need to be a exact conversion. But will be cool to have the races in a epic space battle!

Sorry SpardaSon not all of us are happy to bury our heads in the sand, if more people worked on the problem instead of dodging it just because its difficult perhaps it would be sorted by now for everyones benefit.

Moving on from that RUDE interlude...

On the HW front what you should do is leave Hiigarans out for the time being and try a race conversion of say Vaygr for Vasari thats a far more realistic proposition and something that can be built on.

Amen. When I first bought Sins, I took my original homeworld disk and let it watch me play as some sort of silent tribute to what it had brought to pass.

Now, we have the chance to re-create the game that started all space stratagy games. And Danman is doing it. Score.
