It would be fun to have combats in the Campaign that are not just fleet vs fleet.  For example, convoy defense like Homeworld 2: Mission 2 or defense of a station or planet against bombardment like Homeworld 2: Mission 15.

Or perhaps AI fleet VS fleet action. I imagine that it wouldn't be that much of a stretch for the designers to implement that.

The combat engine would need a fair sized recoding for this, though you can already spawn 3rd, 4th, 5th faction etc. into a combat map - however killing a neutral faction ship causes a null pointer error, and the auto-fire AI doesn't work.

Like you say, there's a lot of stuff involved in making something like that actually work. I don't see doing it w/o vanilla needing something like that, not in the least because it'd be almost impossible to test well.

So don't expect to see this anytime in the future.

need defendable stations in the normal game rather than in a couple of mods. and the ability to control a system and set up defensive fleets.
