Nice one Fury, I had an idea that there would be a worthwhile mod for Nexus, The game uses only LWO files with light points marking subsys locations and xls sheets for .TBL equivalents.

But now youve pointed me towards this i think it may be time to dust the Stiletto off and get ready for COL...

X-Beyond the Frontier, X2-the Threat and X3. They are a bit Build a space empire though but there is a few battles/missions, slow to build up to them unless you cheat and build your money that way, then you need a map to find your way from system to system to find the best places to buy the best weapons for your ships. Takes a while, only played the first for a few hundred hours until I could get the FS2 disks. Not looked back since. Mmmmm may dust it off tonight for a play?

Its one hungry motha though, My rigs quite beefy but X3 runs like a one legged horse with arthritis and athletes foot. Although i got my Argon battleship Base of operations and Fleets on auutopatrol/pilot.

I do like the fact i can eject and re-enter any other fighters cruisers etc i have flitting about though. (i have a telporter but EVA = fun)

Nexus is to Homeworld what Ground Control is to Command & Conquer.

Ground Control was fun. Nexus was rather blah (and Ground Control did not have any missions which I failed worse every attempt). Although the analogy might hold better plot-wise.

Nexus is like a battleship  simulator in space, I hold tru to that description. HW is an RTS, In NEX you have no resources in-mission, and you dont directly control the ships under your command. Just issue orders and hope for the best...

Why doesnt someone does a Freespace mod for Nexus? It would be incredible.

Mmmm... Tie Fighter. Great story in that game, at the end you really do think of the rebels as the scum they are, and understand why the empire is needed as a force of peace and order in the galaxy.

'cuz Nexus handles weapons so vastly differently it just wouldn't work.

LOL Nexus has bemas, Torps, and Energy/mass guns, It wouldnt be tht hard.
You even get a ST mod with the game (one mission albeit) but its got Photon torps and Phasers.

It would be quite moddable if the mission editor wasnt so wank.

Nexus' way of handling fields of fire and soforth makes it impractical. There's a reason none of the ships in the original had visible turrets, the game isn't set up to support them.

Since I have seen visible turrets in the game I am understandably confused :confused:

The only problem that I see is that Freespace would have to be scaled down significantly in terms of the number of turrets each ship has, especially if the player likes micromanaging what specific turrets fire at any given time.

But a FS mod would be excellent indeed.

I got The Original Homeworld acouple of months ago and I finally got enough free time to finish it. (Almost done! Misson 14 :)) So I`m decideing between Homeworld2 or Nexus. Which one is better?

 I looked at all the other games and none seemed to appeal more to me then these two. Sorry. :P

Homeworld 2... by large margin. As said some elsewhere Nexus is actually very interesting for the first few missions until the big 'suprise' but after that is not that interesting.

I prefer Nexus to Homeworld 2, but it's an unfair comparison considering one is full RTS while the other isn't.

On a side note, you can really get a huge fleet boost in Mission 14 if you know how to work it just right. I actually remember leaving that mission with an extra 120 Ion Frigates, which made the next two levels exceptionally easy. :p

All you need is a proximity sensor and a couple of salvage corvettes. The AI really is that stupid that they'll chase single-mindedly after the proxy while your corvettes nab them.
