Homeworld Mod Gets Big Ships Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Aaron Thomas has added one of the biggest models yet to his WC4 Homeworld 2 project. The Vesuvius class carrier compensates for the Black Lance faction's lack of cruisers in the mod. It delivers heavy weaponry and a ton of fighters to any engagement. Pictures below show a couple of different supercarriers, but Aaron isn't currently planning to include the St. Helens or any of its sister ships on the Confederation side yet. Today's new ship isn't included in the Homeworld preview pack, but fairly complete Confed and Border Worlds navies are available to play around with.

Poll Picks Portable Preferences Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Our new poll asks which Wing Commander release you'd most like to see in another volume of EA Replay. Each game in the last pack was a Super Nintendo or Genesis port, but we've opened up the voting to a wider range of choices here. They include a smattering of cool ports and rereleases that have come out over the years: WC1 on the SegaCD includes full speech. The unreleased SNES WC2 port had certain graphical upgrades and a more intense combat engine. Wing Commander 3 on the 3DO had new ships, improved graphical touches and alternate missions compared to the PC and PSX versions. A couple of PC games made our list as well. Sized down a bit like UMD movies, the DVD version of WC4 just might fit on a single PSP disc, and the CD version of Privateer with full speech would be an awesome handheld companion. We're not sure if any of these options are very likely to make it out, but they'd all be fun to play. There are many more WC ports out there as well. Vote 'Other', hit the 'Discuss' link and tell us what games you'd like to see if your pick isn't on the list.

Our last poll asked what new platform you'd prefer for a new Wing Commander game. The XBox 360 ended in the lead. The Playstation 3 was in second, but it was very closely followed by the Nintendo Wii. This is somewhat different from our last generation poll, which had the XBox and PS2 fairly close and the GameCube a ways behind.
