Open a Mod to Another Universe!
The Homeworld community is one of the most creative on the Web, as shown by the fan fiction and especially the
mods. The mods below showcase excellent ship designs, beautiful backgrounds, awesome levels (many of them on par with those shipped with the game) and complete retunings of the game. What's truly impressive, however, is that modders created them without professional mod tool support. They actually had to reverse-engineer the game code. If you'd like to add some spice to your Homeworld (other than the kind that turns the whites of your eyes blue, that is), start here. Explore simple ship tweaks to
Total Conversions that transform Homeworld into Star Trek, Babylon 5, Star Wars or other
popular science fiction universes. These mods are not supported by Relic or Sierra, so if
you need help or have questions, please refer to the mod creators. All are glad to help.
For those working on their own mods, we've included links to tools, a list of helpful resource
sites and contact info for fellow mod developers.
MODS
Alternative Ships Mod
Offers a variety of alternative ships to the Homeworld game.
Autogun
Replaces Corvettes with Autoguns. Also has other ship changes available.
Babylon 5 TC
If you want to command the Armies of Light and burn up some Shadow, this is the place to
go. Based on the popular TV series, this Total Conversion is still in the works but
already has some awesome models.
Contested Borders
The gang at Astromonkey Design Bureau is hard at work with new ships and a new story.
Fleet Command
An ambitious project, Fleet Command is a mod for Homeworld using into the navy ships and planes of today's Navy.
Heroes of
Homeworld
Firepower and construction time have been tweaked to make more room for tactics and less
for building. You will have to care a bit more about your units, because replacement
won't come faster than your losses. Strike craft have improved dogfighting ability,
capital ships have more firepower and every unit has some weakness to exploit. Tactics,
guile and mobility are the keys to victory!
Homeworld:
Battleground
This mod promises to shift the game balance toward the capital ships, giving them faster
weapon systems, faster drives and much more.
Homeworld:
Conquerors
A total conversion based loosely on the Conquerors series of books by Timothy Zahn.
Homeworld Extreme
The Homeworld Extreme MOD's goal is strategy over brute force. Homeworld Extreme hopes to
revolutionize the single-player game. The ambitious modders are adding new ships, with
new weapons, and a new game plot, as well as new ship animations, and possibly even new
movies!
Homeworld:
Freespace

Homeworld:
Independence War TC
This mod will replace all the original Homeworld ships with accurate ships from the
I-War universe. The mod team intends on releasing the multiplayer version first then
single player missions.
Homeworld:
Wing Commander
A tribute to the popular space-combat sim, this mod brings home both Wing Commander ships
and Wing Commander battle scenarios.
Kadesh MOD
Allows you to play the Kadeshi in multiplay mode.
Lightning
Version 2.2 and 1.2
The name describes the basic idea -- it speeds up play. By increasing the damage all
ships can dish out, the mod makes deployment even more important. You won't be able to
easily make up for mistakes, as by the time reinforcements arrive, the battle may well
be over. New AI files also make skirmish games more of a challenge.
Macross: Do You Remember
Love?
All new weapons and ships basied on the classic of Japanese animation are the center of
this TC. Fight as ether the U.N. Spacy or the Zentradi. The project hopes to add new
music and movies as well.

Mod
Currently in first release, this mod aims to make Homeworld even more interesting, with a
correct Newtonian physics model.
Renegade Legion
This small team of modders have put out some very sleek looking ships based on the FASA created universe.

Star Wars:
Fleet Academy
Here's your opportunity to be a Grand Admiral! All the ships from the movies and the
later books come together in this beautiful Total Conversion. May the Force be with you!
You just have to decide if it is the Light or Dark side.
