So Mods Are supposed to save this game....

[Ashrock]

Sooooooo...it keeps being said that Mods are going to save this game, but is anyone even working on them. Any news of any Mods in the works?

[Zytel]

Mods are supposed to prolong the life of the original game or create something new out of it.

Just look at Doom, WarCraft, Quake, Fallout, Half-Life, Homeworld, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Arma, Skyrim and see what mods have come out of those.

We got some of the really big things thanks to experimentation.

And the base games themselves were big as well that didn't need mods in order to save them.

Ok so im really excited about the mods
Battlestar Galactica Frontline
And
Expanse Hammerlock


Both mods " in production for homeworld 3 " , by Essemble Studios.

I have a sinking feeling about these mods.

i think they are modding the game so they can make episodic youtube videos and stories using bsg and expanse models . They can simulate the battle scenes using homeworld 3 , then they narrate over stills from the tv series. This is what they are already doing with stills.

What im worried is not going to happen is providing a battlestar game for us masses where we can play skirmish using a vast array of units, and then we request balancing and various things.

That is all those mods might be about. BSG mod is available for HWR and the skirmish is meh.

Mods will never save HW3's disastrous campaign so mods will never save the game, the game's fame since Homeworld has been largely due to its story, its universe and its unique atmosphere. Homeworld 3 killed all of that.

Like the WarCraft 3 RE-Reforged mod.

oooo why does this patch really look like a reskin....kinda sounds like the remastered fleet all over again. Hopefully the DLC is better than it sounds.

You cant provide something to "masses" without said "masses" existing

Can't wait to catch desyncs and crashes in attempt to try "awesome" content for "best gamemode ever made"?

Didn't the developers say that any mod based of an IP wouldn't be hosted on their end overall due to copyright issues?

possibly, you can still manually install mods quite easily.

And it's probably Epic/Mod.io who has issues with it for, again, very understandable reasons. It's why one should always have a moddb account and follow ♥♥♥♥.

Actually it can but someone would need to deconstruct the missions and retool them while probably adding in a few more. Cutscenes would likely need to be cut from then Tia'ma digivolves into Tisma though.

BSG being on HWRM is just a stopgap if they go ham with the BSG HW3 mod following moleman's stunts with lost recon (in terms of creating campaigns).
