various homeworld sprites (WIP)
« on: March 12, 2012, 11:49:16 AM »

hi there, as you may know I am a huge homeworld fan. so i wanted to start a new topic: homeworld sprites. on this topic you can download, request, show any homeworld sprite. (including modded sprites). got a cool one? post it here! i'll try to add homeworld 1 and 2 sprites but because I lost my HW1 disc. I gotta find that one first. A little example of what i'm working on: its not finished yet. it needs a lot of work but it is a start.


its flipped because its a horizontal oriƫnted ship. and it looks cooler when it's on it's side. not a real homeworld ship but close enought.

Can you get the Ion cannon turret overview to make a turret out of it, a good one should be the ones from the platform or the battlecruiser

Trying to make a "huge cannon that doesn't turn and has a huge range, huge damage but low ROF" type of weapon with a huge ass beam and scream "IMMA FIRING MAH LAZERZ!"

I'd love to the destroyer from Homeworld 2 in Starfarer..

2 Large turrets in the front with 270 degree firing arc, and 1 in the back with 270 arc but facing 180. then an assortment of smaller PD type turrets all around, and a hidden torpedo launcher in the front.

If anybody can make me the image to use in the ship editor, I can make the rest :)

The destroyer is already in my mod, though the mod is not a dedicated homeworld mod...

Tbh though, the dreadnoughts seems so insanely OP that I haven't tried it..

The only prob with this is the fact that alot of ships have turrets below the ship, since its a 3D converted into 2D, thats what will happen to the dread whos got a 2 cannon ion cannon on the bottom, this means ull need to make a custom cannon that does double damage, the only reason this wont make the ship burst damage completely OP is because the vaygr dread also has the huge cannon burst, if u make both cannons do more or less the same it will be the most balanced ships on the mod, you can is, make ion cannons do more damage on shields, and the cannon do more dmg on hull, while both doing the same damage on armor.

and no haven't modded homeworld ever.

not exactly modded since i had no experience in 3d modelling but i had those programs so i could extract the game music and so on... Also theres a mod that only reached alpha on HW2, was Angels Fall First, they released almost all their ships and the look really bad ass, also the majority if not all of them have the weaponry on the top side of the ship, that means i can  get those out with all slots on star farer...

also heres a symmetric dreadnought as thanks:

what i usually do is make the turrets that are normally on the bottom hidden. you don't see them from the top anyways.
