Homeworld Star Trek Mod
Homeworld Star Trek Mod 1 12 2
Hey guys,I am not sure whether any of you are aware, but the next release for the popular Homeworld 2 mod, Star Trek: Continuum, has just been released. Previously the mod only had the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan factions within the TNG era, but the next release - release Gamma - was brought out yesterday.What is Homeworld 2?Hoemworld 2, in my opinion, is one of the best space RTS games ever, mainly due to it's 'realistic' system and it's beautiful physics and graphics, for the time it was released. It was originally released back in 2003, and remains one of the most advanced space RTS games of all time, and within the next few days, will have a remastered version released on Steam.Whilst the game isn't on the same scale as Sins of a Solar Empire, it is still amazingly complex and well built. The scale of the game is more within 1 map, which varies in size based on the number of players it can support, any video about Homeworld 2 would give you a better idea on what the game is like, as I can't give it justice.What is Star Trek: Continuum?Star Trek: Continuum is one of the best Star Trek mods I have ever played, with the advanced engine that the Homeworld game is build on it is ideal for a space RTS game. When I play this mod, I get the most realistic Star Trek feeling I have experienced in an RTS game, with a 4D space map, the use of warp drive, and a realistic Star Trek feel.With all of these factors, Homeworld 2 provides the ideal platform, for a great Star Trek RTS game, and is definitely worth checking out! The latest release has also introduced the ENT, TOS, and TMP eras - alongside TNG - for the 3 main races. For a more detailed overview of the mod and it's features, check the links below.
Steam Workshop: Homeworld Remastered Collection. Star Trek has captured the imaginations of people all over the world for the past half century, it has been the people that we wanted to be, it has held the utopian future that we want waiting for us. The mod will spread over all four Star Trek eras (ENT, TOS, TMP and TNG) and you will find a diverse and well balanced list of starships and space stations at your disposal This mod aims to bring together the best parts of such classic games as Star Trek: Armada 2 and Star Trek: Legacy in the beautiful and malleable Homeworld 2 engine.
The video linked below is of the build prior to the latest one, but should give a good overview of the mod.I did give the latest release a play last night, and found that the improvements and additions made have made the whole experience a lot more fun for me, and remains my favourite Star Trek mod of all time. The sole thing which makes me differ on that opinion, is the multiplayer. For some time now, the original Homeworld 2 multiplayer system has been annoying, to say the least, as you'd have to be incredibly lucky to finish a game off, as the game is prone to all the players becoming 'out of sync' and cause the game to crash. Hopefully, the remastered version won't have this issue, but only time will tell.ModDB page, which includes a trailer for the latest release:Old YouTube video of the previous version.

This mod replaces all the original Homeworld ships and mother ships withe starships and starbases from Star Trek. It includes five different races to pick from; Star Fleet, Klingons, romulans, Borg and Kardashian (I know, Star Fleet isn’t a race), a few different game modes from invasion to Death match and four distinct time periods with all the appropriate ships and starbases.
These guys really did an excellent job on this mod, the graphics are amazing and a game play is out of this world.
