I thought I should come and ask the Main Men(no sexist remark intended).  What ship should I use to replace the Somtaaw's Leech?  

If you've never played the game, the Leech is a stealthed robot "microship" that latches on to the hull of enemy vessels and, you guessed it, leeches material from the hull, thereby lowering the targets health.  I can't use a combat craft because aside from the leeching ability it is totally unarmed.

If.... your talking about ships..... Just use the FS1 support ship. Its got a docking clamp and no weapons.... but if you want a modded ship..... talk to Thorny@TAP

I believe this is putting FS2 ships into HW no?

Yes, sorry for the confusion:doh: , I am putting FS2 ships into Homeworld: Cataclysm.

The main "docking" type ships in FS2 are the support ships (the old FS1 support ship model is included in the FS2 VP so might be interesting to use) and the transports. Of the transports the GTT Elysium's probably the better looking one for something like that. (And the Elysium was designed to dock with bigger ships while the support ships were made to dock with fighters. Of course, with mods that's not set in stone.)

Also, there are Vasudan support/transport ships, if the Terran ones don't suit the look. The Shivans only have transports IIRC.

If you are to make that mod for HW:C, you shouldn't use a Vasudan, Shivan and Terran mix. Just use 1 species for Somtaaw (R1) wich I think should be Terran and use Shivan as the Beast. And use a Vasudan Destroyer as The Unbound.

Anyway, this is what I think. I'm looking forward to the mod.

No, I think the Vasudans and the terrans should be put together, after all, it's one single entity: the GTVA.

To my knowledge there is already an FS mod for Homeworld.  A beta has also been done to import Vasudan ships into cataclysm.

Honestly I couldn't say what to replace the leech with.  One thing to try would be actually placing weapon points onto the model that you replace the leech with and see if it will attack things with it's weapons.  If this is the case then I would advise replacing the leech with either the Pegasus (terran) or Ptah (vasudan) Stealth fighters.

I've come up with a mix of ships for most of the various groups in the game:

Somtaaw: GTVA 6th fleet(one slight poetic license is they have the Colossus as their Command Ship)
Kushan(the Good Guys from the first HW): GTVA 3rd fleet
Taiidan(the Bad Guys from the first HW): NTF/GTI
Turanic Raiders(more Bad Guys from the first HW): NTF/GTI
Beast: Shivans
Bentusi:???(The Bentusi are an Unbound race that is connected to their ships directly, they are VERY advanced.)

Yes there is a beta of the Cataclysm Mod, I'm finishing it.

Yea, there is, SvG.
However, I got permission from the guy to re-do it, so now it's going to be SvG V 2.0!
