Adding Formations?

posted on May 31st, 2004, 4:09 am

I agree with blackfalcon, Homeworld had some real nice formations that would look real nice on a big open map... but what i really want is to see ships MOVE! even if they just go in circles... almost always on the tc show they are moving while in combat why is this not so in Fleetops?
Real nice game keep up the good work

I asked Optec but I think he said it's not possible, would be nice tho.

I got an idea, lets make Fleet Ops for homeworld 2!

Small idea: Make ships stay in the formation they are given. I have been having some trouble with this.

You want a chance to actually use the ships from Star Trek, and have them look 3 times as better? Such as, having them look like they do in the show? Then Homeworld is your best bet. The graphic engine that all three Homeworld games use is awesome, and just keeps getting better, with the more releases they come out with......

Even if you don't like Homeworld, buying it and using it just for a FO mod on it, would be worth your while. Trust me and TMP Rules........

A fleetops mod for Homeworld2 would be wicked! I really liked the game and how it handels everything ingame...
Now back to ships formations/movement... In armada 2 there was an option on having your ships circle , or move around a target... where did it go? Sence it was already there I don't think it would be that hard to add back in...

Ships could be scaled right! Shuttles really become like 1/100th of a captial ship. In system warp might be available. *drools*

yeah....., the only problem is that either you scaled the shuttles down or the ships up, in any case you're gonna have either tiny shuttles or huge starships....... LOL

Just wanna say all this talk persuaded me to go and buy Homeworld yesterday...OMG! What have I been missing?! Definately would be excellent to use graphically for FO.

Hey Homeworld doesnt have buildings right?
Its just that BIG ship that builds all the others, but this is not so in ST universe, I dont think it could work, I could be wrong though never really took a good look at Homeworld.....
