Guys, I'm curious.  Is the storyline to TAP gyrating around the storyline to Cataclysm?  It seems this way but judging from the screenshots, you're obsessed with the Taiidan and the Turanic Raiders.  Also judging from the screenies, you want to go back to the good ol' days of HW1.

So, what about a campaign anytime soon?  Since you all have Somtaaw ships and Imperialist vessels done, why not scrap something together?

Oh by the way, I'm planning on a Somtaaw superfighter called the Proselyte.  It's a heavy corvette model with two fast-tracking turrets and two plasma bomb launchers.  Drop me a line if you're interested.

This shall be answered when I finish the storyline I'm currently writing.

The setting has been moved somewhat away from any of the screenshots that we have made. I could probably say that just about all the screenshots have been tests of the effects / ships / HUD etc. Most of which has been remade (or in the process of being remade) or modified in some way. We do apologise about the lack of updates, however I am starting to get a little more envolved now-a-days.

A little on the storyline: I can't say much for we havnt all decided to go along yet and everytime I go back to it I change it around after adding something new.

But basicly:
- It is in neither the Homeworld 1, 2, or cataclysm times.
- It will allow us to include new, custom made ships and technology.
- It will include some / all of the HW 1 and Cataclysm ships
- It may include a few HW 2 ships

So as you can probably guess, it is located before Homeworld 2, yet after Homeworld / Cataclysm. (Keep in mind this is subject to change)

I am trying to create a mostly original story while using some creative imagination to expand upon the current known history of the Homeworld series. So hopefully we can recapture the atmosphere created by the Homeworld series, even reveal some extra story behind that known in HW2 and Cataclysm etc.

So as you could imagine, it is not a task to be taken lightly. For I'm trying to mirror some of the light cast by Relic's masterpiece(some of us think anywau ;p ) series through this mod.

But yeh, I hope that satifies your hunger for now... Once we have an agreed upon storyline etc. I can do up a blurb and perhaps some background writings for those who like to get a little more depth. This will all take time however, so don't hold your breath for anytime soon. But after people return from holidays etc perhaps we can get a demo out or something of the technology etc.

So far the majority of TAP's work has been creating the resources etc. ie Ships weapons etc. So it has been difficult creating a demo when some things were done while other parts still needed polishing etc. But hopefully soon we can release a small demo or whatever showing some of the ships off etc. But yeh... we shall see...

Hey!  How about a civil war after the Beast affair?  I mean a civil war between the Kiiths in Hiigara.

I personally haven't played HW2, so I don't know a lot about the storyline that goes on there.  It seems that the Taiidani and the Raiders are - well, gone.  Hiigara is more unified and a newer update of the mothership has been completed.  Plus, I think there's an 80-year gap between Cataclysm and HW2.

So I'll leave it to your creativity to jury-rig something up.  In the meantime, I'll work on that Proselyte.

cool, if ur willing to donate it to the mod than there might just be a place for it somewhere in here...

but yeh, hopefully when more of the team gets back (if at all) then we can push further ahead...
