What is Complex Mod?

[Goodnight]

Im new to the mod and just started playing it and im very confused about the new things added. Like the honour or crew and a few other things.

Does anyone know where i can find a more detailed info about the new stuff added or a tutorial on how those new things work?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks :D

Homeworld 2. Im confused as to what things could increase rank/honor and does the ai fully utilize the mod? Do they play by the rules of the mod?

Yes ive played 1 match and as i started i was confused how rank works.

As i win battles i gain rank if i lose battles i lose rank is that right?

What i really wanted to know is what are the many ways on how to gain rank.

honor rises whenever you build, research or kill stuff. exact values are scaled with the setting before the game.
crew comes from crew ship (baracks and officer barracks) you can build new barracks on each new "level" in honour. (you gain ranks at some points - honour only rises - think XP in most games)
Crew is needed cause you can only have so many people. in all those ships.
I dunno if more ships with more research modules increase research speed or not, but if they don't you might want to increase the research speed in the map choice menu.

if by how many games you play then no you gain ranks over time or by doing research the over time part based on how you have played in that match sorry cant put it in to words im a bad speller

some ships need officers, all need some crew. like:
fighter: each 1 fighter = 1 person
corvette: 1 corv = 2 ppl
frigate: 6ppl? (don't remember) or 6ppl and 1 officer.
and so on.
Some bigger stuff needs multiple officers. Destroyers and carriers 2 I think. It should say when you mouse over in build menu how many. Research is slow but sure and cheap early source of honor if you don't want to blow your ships up just to get some kills for points. At least it was... in one of the previous versions. I haven't played that in a long time. Have fun!
