HOMEWORLD G.A.W.

[Silverware]

Use Google translator if you absolutely have to use a translator, its not the best but its a slight bit better than Bablefish.

I deffinitly agree with your to-do list.
Get the Hiigarian fleet finished, Get all the normal Vaygr ships in, and then stick in the Kushan and Taiidan ships, because those four fleets will give you a really solid base to build up from.

[Bentusi]

yeah but... on this stage of the homeworld history the taiidans are taiidani, neutrals, and the kushans are hiigarans.

[Bentusi]

More Hiigaran Ships:

Interceptor, Multigun Corbette, Pulsar Corbette, Minelayer-Pulsar Corbette, Light Bomber and Multigun Frigate Equiped with one Mine Launcher.













the tiny white points are slow speed magnetic mines, in game are very very realistic.

[Darksoul]

and in the end, the blue ship always wins.

[inteuniso]

I think the interceptor and bomber are way too big in comparison. They're almost as large as the corvettes. You can resize the cores, if you want a smaller one.

DarkSoul:
That you think, im making an encounter, is very very hard for the hiigarans.
That are test screenshots. I use one "Negative Ion Destroyer Nalthoran" vs the hiigaran ships on my last post, the Nalthoran ship can not target the small ships because got low turning speed and the ion defense system is too light for cause damage to the "Multigun Frigate".
Is just a test.

Ieutenutso:

Yeah i thinking that, is hard to make all ships on the correct scale.

[Bentusi]

New ships:

The Sentinel Flak - Missile Destroyer Hiigaran (anti Fighters-Corbettes)
and
The Arbitrer Heavy Destroyer Hiigaran (anti Frigates - Capital Ships)



Images: The new destroyers in target practice. Target: Practice Barge (5000Hp).

Note: the blue explosion is caused for the main kinetic canons, not the defence lancer, anyways... looks good

Have to hand it to you: First time seeing SWA-style remakes of HW2 Hiigaran ships and I must say you've done a good job with regards to section choice, colouring, weaponry and staying recognizable to the original source ships.


Now if you can provide for us some default zoom screenshots from the shipmaker.

Ok, good idea.

Another destroyer:
The Super Destroyer Hiigaran:

normal

Weapons:
1 Main Ion Canon
2 Kinetick Turrets
1 Kinetick Accelerator Drive (High Powered Kinetick Canon)
2 DEfensive Lancers

[Rikkie]

Nice Design. But something bothers me between the blue and orange..

[Bentusi]

yes, but is the original colouring, and the Main Ion Canon is an entire module.

[Squishy]

Nice Design. But something bothers me between the blue and orange..

Taking a second look, I agree.

While the Hiigaran ships follow a blue and orange scheme, I would like you to try to 'fade' the colours. Make them a little grayer; less intense and more metallic.


The engine exhausts shouldn't be emanating from blank space behind the ship (such as those seen in the Super Destroyer). How about using some engine-like sections?

ok, then you want me to locate the engines inside the ship?

[AlphaDetisMegas]

also, hiigaran engines have quite a big ''hue'' around them, so making use of one engine sprite with fake aegis would look more like actual HW ships
