you are one of the only other person on the planet besides me and my brother that have ever even thought of such an obvious and great investment for a mod
the universe is absolutly massive, the ship range and class is every extensive, the storys are all dark and mysterious. the amount of concept art is simply amazing, there are loads of mods for homeworld 2 out already, using those ships too would be a great idea.
I think it's a fantastic idea, however, it might be too much work for a game that has a constantly dwindling player base and a limited rendering engine.
anyway, this should be done, because it would quite simply be badass
Taiidan, Kushan, the many Kiith Clans, Keepers, Progenitors, Bentusi, Kadeshi, The Beast, Hiigaran, Vaygr, Turanic Raider (hundreds more factions would exist in reality)
I'm a total homeworld geek :D
I always have trouble picking a favorite faction
But for the Kiith...Kiith Manaan was always my favorite, and they kicked much arse in Cataclysm
except when their destroyer the Bushan-Re was crippled....then their carrier, the Caal-Shto was crippled.... then infested...then probably blown up
other than that, they rocked
the Imperial Taiidan were classic though, loved those guys
