No this is not a FS2 mod. I mean FS2 SCP QUALITY. That is 10k polygon capital ship models, 5000 poly fighter models, ect. These are just some of my models I originally planned to incorporate into FS2 but since GC2 is apparently so easy to mod I just couldn't resist having my own universe take a step into the 4x genre:
If it has dark/light silver and blue stripes paint, it is most likely a Homeworlder ship. The Homeworlder's history and stuff is far too huge for me to post so here is all you need to know if I make them a playable faction:
The Homeworlders are semi peaceful in that they'd rather settle for peace rather than go to war... but once war is in the air they will end it in the most brutal manner possible. In 43rd century they fought a one sided war against Earth for breaking the 5 light year containment zone they set in place. Not only did the foolish terrans break containment but they also attacked on of the Homeworlder's colonies thus sparking the Containment War. This war is analogous to the Earth Minbari War of Babylon 5. The Terrans didn't stand a chance and in the end 15 major cities and hundreds of millions were killed by bombardment as a warning to the future. But that is just the beginning! In the 48th century they pulled off a terrifying attack. The Raghal and Himotigaz were winning a war against the Karacasians even though they were an older and more advanced race. With the Raghal and Himotigaz fleets gone to fight the Karacs, the Homeworlders took this opportunity to safeguard their interests by removing the only threats to their Mega Gate network and freight. They launched a full scale invasion into the exposed rear of the Raghal and Himos and in the end... Killed them to extinction. The Homeworld Empire are also very unlike the Terran Alliance in that these guys ain't young. They are an elder race in my universe in that their strength rivals even the ancient races who have been space faring for thousands of years longer.
Basically they would work like this: They would gladly be peaceful but if you happen to be on their bad side and fighting another war somewhere else, they will backstab you when you are busy elsewhere. They are a bit like the Terran Alliance in GC2 but with major differences. These guys have decent Diplomacy, trade, and research, but their true colors shows in their aggression and their military might. If possible to make another custom race with an AI, these guys are going to be a bit scary to work with. Meaning every race will be highly wary of having these Homeworlders around them cause quite frankly, having such an aggressive neighbor can be nerve racking.
FYI, These Homeworlders are part of my own fiction and are NOT part of the GC2 story at all. I just want to put these guys into this game for fun. The Terrans they fought are the UNE, United Nations of Earth and not the Terran Alliance. ect ect
The Hurricane 5 class of Heavy Cruiser is their largest mass produced ship. Spanning 6km long and armed to the teeth with 14 giant heavy plasma cannon turrets. A single shot can be devastating and horrific to watch. Too bad they can't track fighters at all.
These are the next generation of Hurricanes. The Hurricane 6 Heavy Cruiser was commissioned by the corrupted vice-president and used to ignite a horrific civil war. Despite the terrifying reputation of these ships, they are extremely potent in battle with their giant beam cannons.
Lightning Destroyers serve as the backbone of the Homeworlder fleet by providing fighter carrier abilities as well as long range missile attacks. 1.7km long
Blizzard heavy fighters are among the most agile and powerful ships ever made. They can do some pretty impressive damage too.
Because these models are such high quality I will have to remake them to optimize them. Heck both Hurricane ships have a 2048x2048 texture!!! Ok, post away!
