6510 Galactic Standard Year: Hiigarans were exiled. 'My' Hiigarans find their way into this universe some years later thanks to a temporary jumphole. Since it closed again there's no way to have Taiidans or Vaygr to have followed.
A few hundred years later the Hiigarans in this sector developed to what they are today, say 6700~6800 GSY.

9625 Galactic Standard Year: Vaygr start invading stuff. Over 3000 years later. Now I guess one can debate about how long the Homeworld GSY lasts, but I am still sure the Vaygr would need to travel back in time to appear in this sector.
Besides, what are the odds of another fold in space delivering the Vaygr to this sector as well?

Discussions aside, I find that maintaining two big mods costs me enough energy as it is, and I am currently without energy to begin with. :-X

maybe it opens and close every few thousand years or the vaygr found a gate like the bentusi used in Cata plus sectors are pretty large about 20 ly (according to star trek unsure about this game though)

With 3000 years before vaygr it's hard for them to invade, I agree. I understand though, modding is a lot of work and rarely easy. I ask mostly because I have a bunch of vaygr ship sprites lying about and was looking for some kind soul to adopt them :P Plus it would be really cool to see vaygr on higaara fight vid ^^

I can't promise anything right now. Maybe in the future. But I won't name them Vaygr though. :P

Okay so since I know literally nothing about Homeworld and this is just a chill thread for right now, I'm curious. Is the name of the faction in Homeworld the same as this "Hiigaran Descendants?" What of Bushi are they also involved in Homeworld or somewhere else? Or maybe creating a superfaction was just too alluring :P

Long story short: In the first Homeworld game you find out that your people originate from a planet called Hiigara.
The people in Homeworld call themselves Kushan though. They're descendants from the Hiigarans.

If you want the whole story, ask and I'll tell it in a nutshell. :)

Yes, echosierraalpha can explain Homeworld's timeline even better than me.

Also... *throws pie in echosierraalpha's face*

If you don't mind I could send you the sprites I have, that I mentioned. If you think they would be any good for your mod you could maybe use them? Not as a separate mod but an extension of the Hiigaran Decendants. Just as the blue ships only remind of higaran ships, those aren't identical to those from game (apart form some iconic fighters and a destroyer :P). I'm sure their exsistance could be justified. Maybe they could be a part of a splinter group that separated from the original fleet after they arrived in starsector? Or whatever else would make sense. It's always true that more variety in a mod can make it much more fun to play. What do you say Gotcha?

Here you go:

I wouldn't really call them awesome, more like 'kinda decent'. To be honest they are a product of a very boring evening, too much coffe and a kittbashing frenzy caused by a sentiment of the too evident lack of Homeworld3 ;) I do plan to make more and use them in Distant Worlds somewhere in the future but for now I think they could be put to good use in Gotcha's mod. I've seen what you've done with my old sprites and I must say I am really impressed. The modified ships look really great.

Also, is there really a thing here called 'spriter judgment thread'? I don't mind displaying the ships, though I am not sure if they qualify without being properly shrunk and 'cartoonized' first.

EDIT: Oh, and that's large res pngs. They should look ok after shrinking, or in any case a tiny bit of sharpening should do the job. If any of u mods GSB feel free to use them :)
