From The Depths is a pretty nifty voxel game (construction à la Minecraft) that is designed around building ships, submarines, aircraft and spaceships with armament, subsystems, sensors, etc., to have them fight. After building some other stuff, I've just started a quite ambitious project: a...

These are more like gunships/corvettes than fighters being carried by the carriers, definitely not a Wing Commander feel.

The Ark Royal series, by Chris Nutall, are about an obsolete armoured space carrier that was phased out for sleek ships and gets reactivated when a First Contact War involves aliens with energy weapons that wiped the floor with modern design ships. Pretty decent overall, even if not Hugo Award...

Usually, yes, societies that have an obsession for military adventures, warfare and the warrior idea (whether or not they follow through when it comes to their individual soldier beyond ritual shows of respect that are only a surface thing) tend to need such failures to stop the nonsense where...

In WC3, I'd say the first Skipper mission was pretty memorable, a missile defence scenario that was quite scary and tense if you didn't get it right quickly. In 4, one that I remember a lot was the Silenos nebula right after defecting: getting completely unfamiliar fighters fighting in a very...

TBH, Angel's disemboweling by a large feline might be considered a standard occurence of daily life in Australia, given the local fauna.

Well, for making the 3D stuff, you should contact DefianceIndustries, though right now, he's got a number of projects of his own, so further ships for Flag Commander are kinda on the backburner. ^_^;

Well, well... you're speaking my language here: I do happen to have the pro licence for Space Engine, so if any of you lads see, in the free version, a place you'd like converted into a super high resolution skybox, just send me its coordinates.

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/01/06/homeworld-remastered-collection-best-mods/ Yay, coverage! Note that in addition of @DefianceIndustries, @Dark Sentinel's work is also featured as he's part of the Star Trek Continuum mod in addition of helping us on the mod.

Not necessarly a retcon, simply gravity winning back over the debris cloud. Turning a planet into gravel is very different from getting the gravel to disperse all over the stellar system. For example, with 2.9 E31 Joule, you get Earth to turn into a cloud of debris occupying its current position...

That's one of the points the Ender series of books manages pretty well, with the main character being considered a hero of humankind for leading the war-ending action while he himself is horrified with what he's been led to do, and over decades then centuries, he becomes considered as one of...

Finding patterns in random shapes is a pretty standard behaviour, one that makes pretty much all scientists shake their heads sadly at these claims.

A retired professor (that's what emeritus professor means most of the time) from a pretty low-ranking university making insane claims because he literally... recognized patterns in rocks? Maybe the camera should have pointed upwards and he could have recognized shapes in clouds as well.

That's why I made the mod. ;-) If and when you stumble onto bugs, please PM me with the details so that I can try to reproduce and understand them. Thanks!

The Beta is the latest release I'm talking about here. It gets updated from time to time, but unless you want to re-download the 1 GB Beta every time, it's simpler to re-download the hotfix now and then to get the latest corrections.

The hotfix is for the Beta version, I'm not really working on the initial download as of now. I've just clarified the OP to make it clear.

If you're doing a new install and just downloaded the latest release, the hotfix isn't needed, it's already part of the release. It's there to save you the hassle of downloading 1 GB of models and textures again for a couple MB of corrections in text files done as part of the bug hunt process.

XD Yeah, I can imagine how it'd mess with everything, yes. OK, back in business, then. Apparently, one of the issues that has yet to be understood and fixed is related to using trade lanes to go to carriers, it seems to trigger CTD from time to time, but I can't find why.

Ah, yes. Windows recognizes that I edited the .exe and it weirds it out. You can use the original .exe if you want, but you'll have line of sight issues, fighters disappearing at range. You can tell the computer to override that security otherwise. If you want, I can tell you what I edited and...

The hell? Plus, the way your texts are displayed is pretty weird overall. So, it crashes after loading... Can you send me the save game that you used? Though, keep in mind most of the equipment was changed, so it can cause trouble.
