mod info taken from the same interview

GaX: How will multiplayer be like in the game? Also, will Relic be supporting the mod community for Homeworld 2?

Dan: Homeworld 2 supports several multiplayer modes including death matches and team play. Relic will continue supporting the mod community too. Some of our tools will be released, like the special effects tool, once they are properly documented and improved. Others require a license to Maya 3.0 or PLE. We'll have more details on exactly what tools will be available, as we get closer to the launch date. The Relic Developer Network (http://www.relic.com/rdn/index.php ) will continue to support our products with release versions of the tools and documentation.

833 MHz is an odd number.
