a campaign is in the workings (well more like 5) and there will be new gameplay options soon. You can't expect too much for about 3 months work.

we need those corvettes and cruisers, and superjuggernauts, and have an arcadia station that you can warp in to assist with production, and see if you can get those hi-poly models ingame, at least for the big ships
big ships also need engine glows

Capships really need engines of some kind.  A shame HW2's system is so different from FS's in that regard.  Otherwise, looks awesome.
who needs a signature? ;)

engine glows are something we hope to have fix/added by the time we have v0.25 done. I would like to mention that after v0.25 our next release will be our first release that includes FS 2 ships, so all you FS 2 cap ship fans will have your beams yet.

Forgive me if I sound like a total idiot, but I can't seem to install this mod. The directions...leave something to be desired. Which shortcut do I modify? Command line section? In the properties menu? Where?

These are the replacement directions:

Installation:

Short Instructions:
1)Put the FSNA.big file in your Homeworld2\Data folder.
2)Create a shortcut to Homeworld2.exe
3)In the shortcut properties, change the target box to

"C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod FSNA.big

Including both "
You may have to change the path if you installed HW2 elsewhere.
4)Use this shortcut to play FSNA.

Detailed Instructions:
Drag the FSNA.big file from the zip filder to your Homeworld2\Data folder. Next, go to your Homeworld2\Bin\Release folder and find Homeworld2.exe. Drag it with your right mouse button and when you let go, select create shortcut here. Right click on the shortcut and select properties, then click on the shortcut tab. In the target box, put

"C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod FSNA.big

including the two "
You may have to change
C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe
if you did not install Homeworld 2 in its default place.
Click OK. When you want to play the FSNA mod, use the shortcut you have just created. You may want to change the shortcut name to something like FSNA Homeworld so you remember what it does. If you want to play normal Homeworld 2, simply use the normal shortcut in the start menu.

ok people for the next release all currently in game ships will have a FS 2 config as well (so will there be configs for most of the other time periods) so yes you do get your beams. There however has corse for delay as we have seemed to missplaced out HODer (Phelan) who's fine work has brought us to were we are today. So untill we can get another person working on HODing FS ships we are going to be delayed.
