Well, it should kinda sorta wipe out an entire fleet by going bang.
WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

Awfully expensive bomb though...

Yeah. This morning was... exciting. I wanted to uninstall the Toolkit that allows me to upload the mods since it's always posting corrupted data and Steam... deleted the entire Homeworld folder, including all my work data. The whole 50 GB. Looks like one of the data recovery files is working, though, so it should be alright but I got ten years older today.
Edit: recovery in progress. Of the 150 GB (I underestimated the size of my stuff when I wrote the post).

It'll be worth it, I think that I would need to turn down the graphics setting in fear of my graphics card going up as well.
I'm crossing my fingers that you haven't lost anything L.I.F. the last time I reformatted my computer I lost wedding photos/videos, I managed to get about 90 % back, thankfully the wife is not aware of it yet, and I hope that it will stay that way.

Meh, don't worry about that yet, I haven't tinkered the game well enough for graphics settings to actually matter. :-P
Heh, I'm pretty sure I got everything back. Just need to redownload some game files, test the mod to be sure the files are uncorrupted and then try to upload it again.
BTW, the software I used to recover everything is called Piriform Recuva. Free and did the job well, no question asked.

When do we get to see the upgraded pirate ships?

Oi! Small present in time for the CIC's birthday: the single player demo mission is back in the mod, as well as some improvements to the fuel code. Escorting the two transports to their jump point is going to be even more... fun. Remember, though, that saving them is not mission-critical, just a nice optional objective for those of you who enjoy a challenge. Small tip in spoilers about the scripts in the mission:
Edit: I will update today the mod with a new feature, the anti-missile stance. When the new update is online, you will be able to select any Confederation or Kilrathi unit and, by pressing F6, order it to prioritize above any other target or even order incoming enemy missiles (except for bombers, they will not be affected by this for obvious reasons). This stance remains compatible with the guard order, meaning you can have in a fleet or convoy some ships escorting the main ones and whose job will be to target the enemy shipkillers. As a balancing measure to compensate the better defensive capabilities this offers, turret fire will go from 20% to 10% hit chance against torpedoes and missiles.
Fighters under this stance will also reroute some of their gun power to engines so they can get a better chance to catch up with the incoming warheads. Also, as an interesting point, it makes the Confederation destroyer a much more interesting escort unit, since it has a potent VLS missile system that will now start targeting enemy projectiles at medium to long ranges. This way, I think it starts negating the Kilrathi advantage with their long range missiles, while Confed short range torpedo barrages will remain a devastating option for the ballsy admiral.
Edit 2: it's uploaded on Steam.
If the enemy detects your capital ships, the Kilrathi cruisers will jump into action, and given everyone's position, the transports are very likely to be in range of their guns. So you can try to do a pure fighter cover or to keep the ships out of range, but with the fuel issues to consider now, rotating the squadrons might be necessary.

Glad you like it! As for creating the missions, it's entirely text-based. Here are the main files for the mission (keep in mind the code has not been cleaned and some of the legacy attempts of mine to work stuff with the ammunition limits).Nice update, I like the missle priority command, if only we had that in WC3 we might have been able to save the Behemoth. Do you mind me asking what are you using to create the missions ?

}In any case, if you or anyone else are interested into writing your own missions for the game, I'd be glad to test them and possibly integrate them in future releases. If you are not sure what the ship references are (like the cfd_interceptor, cfd_victory and the such), just leave notes telling me which ship you are thinking about (please use those that are in-game already) and what, if any, specific differences, names or such you want to add them. I suggest you to also plan on paper or in Word a proper "storyline" for the mission, describing very precisely what event you are going to look for and what reaction they are supposed to trigger. For one of the most complete "libraries" on the game's instructions, for the second file, here is the most useful link I ever had in modding:

Thanks for letting us know. I have tried to find a good mission programs but cannot get the really highly rated ones to work on my computer.
When I start studying again I shall have to try and get them working again. I thought that missions or rather a campaign would be something nice to slowly work on over winter as something to take my mind off studying.

I don't know about any mission program, just wrote the stuff the hard way after defining what I wanted to see happening in the mission. It's annoying, but it works.

Pretty much so, AFAIK. And even then, I have some workarounds that would make the official devs twitch and yell at me when it comes to integrating the ships in-game, particularly the big ones, which are, AFAIK, the biggest models anyone put in a mod, except maybe for the Star Wars one, but evillejedi is crazy awesome.Yeah there seams to be no easy way, just the hard way or the really long and hard way

No promises, but if I can find the time to do it, there miiiiight be a campaign idea involving this girl and her shenanigans in the kitty litter:
In other news, I'm trying to get Klavs' models to work ingame, but still have quite the issues:
(Hint: even if I got the textures to look as good as he does, this would still not be in normal MP games given the unholy amount of polys involved for a single fighter, let alone his capital ships, but if anyone had better luck working with his stuff, I'd be happy to get some advice!)
