a couple of days ago
We covered all that the Empire had to offer in the homeworld remastered
mod Star Wars
Warlords and whilst was plenty of Empire War mods that bring the game a bit more in line with the graphics that were used to
Today this mod interested me. Not just the fact that some of the ships looked utterly
Fantastic in this mod, but because it also takes the Star Wars RTS gameplay into a different direction today
we'll be covering from Rebel Alliance and let me tell you they have a
Plenty more ships to go through and show off
But before we do that guys, my question of the day is what type of Star Wars mod
Would you like us to cover in the future?
I saw a lot of suggestions in the comments on the last
Homeworld video and I wanted to dive a bit more into detail on that. Let me know your reasons
Why?
also in the comments down below I try to read all of them and get back to some of you but with that out of
The way let's look at some rebel ships and we are here with the full Rebel Alliance
Lineup of ships. We've got a lot of them here
So we're gonna have to go through all of them relatively quickly. And again, this is the homeworld Star Wars mod warlords and
We've already done a video on this before where we covered the Empire ships
we didn't cover as many but obviously the Rebel Alliance has quite a lot for us to go through and
At first what we'll do is we'll start with the beloved a wing quite a noisy ship mind you
And the models look pretty good here. I gotta say like I do think the fighters for the
That the rebel lights are better than the Empire ones. I feel like the Empire
Ones were a little bit too. What's the word like the wings felt a bit to 2d ish?
Like they they looked paper-thin and they didn't look
Amazingly well, and and these I try not to get too close and cuz it's very noisy
But these ones look a lot better. I have to say even on the underside and everything
They definitely feel like they take up a really good
3d space in the game and I actually quite liked those there
And not bad at all and one I like even more is actually the the y-wings the why we look really great here
Like just as a comparison to that the Empire ships like the tie interceptors were good
Like they were my favorite out of all of the fighters in the Empire fleet for this mod
They still weren't enough. You know, like I
said it just felt like like a texture that was there for the wings and that was it and it wasn't it wasn't very
Great, but here it definitely feels like these have been properly freely modded
modelled sorry and
Yeah, they just look great even on every single angle
they seem like they are a lot of work has been put into these especially on like little engines here and
and everything like the smaller ships are for the
rebel lights definitely
definitely have had a lot of love and
Let's actually have a look at the x-wing
Wow very loud blimey but
Ya know these look great as well the 3d model everything
like you've got you can see a little droid on the top there and the beacons glowing at the bottom like
Really a lot of a lot of attention on these ships. I've got to say like
Really really impressed and let's see if the s-foils actually react when we move it's just quickly
No, it doesn't look like the
The wings change mode or anything, which is a shame, but this is a mod ofter. We can't expect heaven on earth
But moving on to the next ones, where are the next ones to sit here are so these are the bee wings
Oops, bear with me net sorry don't want to build anything
So the bee wings they look good. They're not as good I'd say as all the other ships
But they still look great, I mean it relatively speaking they definitely still look great I really like the engines on the back here
they look like very I
Don't know. I just I it just feels like the smaller models have had like
A lot of attention to detail I feel and I don't know if they've like if the moderate the mod sorry the mod crater
Has like taking these from a game or if they're fan-made and they being brought in or he's made them them himself
I'm not exactly sure of the origin of these models. But either way I'm really really impressed. They definitely look great and
Moving on to the next one which is the assault transport. I
Tried to keep the rest much more quicker, but there's your assault transport. Oh, man
It's actually great these ones here like the reflective metal. I'm not sure about the textures
But they I mean like the reflective
Design of it actually looks pretty neat I got to say like I didn't see this in any other ship on this
This faction like but like the the shine effect
But no, I'm really impressed by that thankfully not as noisy, which is great
next we have our
Beta escort transport and let's have it have a look at that. This one looks okay
Like I don't really know how much to add on this
I don't really like how there's no particle effects in the engine doesn't really it just makes it look like a stationary
3d model
blasts about it
Some decent textures on the back here
But I don't know there's not really much else to add
You know doesn't look bad at all
It looks pretty decent but that was up, you know, like the assault transport definitely in my opinion looked a bit better
Coming in for the gr. 75 transport and
This is probably where the top doesn't look bad
The textures again not really a fond fond of because you can see they're not very high quality
And you get a lot of like texture over lapping on any part where there's like a new?
Sorry, I'm gonna have to focus in on this where like you can see like a new section of the model being added to like
this
Sit like stretched cylinder so you can see it. Wow, this camera's not cooperating
Yes, I'm not really sure about that like it
Doesn't make it look very modern if I might if you ask me and what's even worse
Is that on the underside the tech?
Are really suffer and they are very very stretched and I don't really know what they're trying to resemble here
But yeah, it's not great. I have to say I like the beacon shines in some parts of the ship
But this is probably I should not not to spoil it too much
But this is where the quality of the Rebel Alliance ships start to drop and it does not get any better
I'm afraid top not too bad. But like I said
There's definitely a deterioration here
Which is unfortunate and again, no hard points on the on ships this small but moving on to the Karelian gunship
Which I'm sure many of you have
used in
Some empire war mods
This one actually is a little bit more of an improvement compared to the transport over there
Like the engines not great the back of the ship isn't fantastic
The engines isn't too bad
And I like how you've got like a lot of like these turbo lasers or heavy lasers surrounding the ship here
You can't highlight and there's no hard points for the ship whether or not they'll add them in
I'm not sure but the textures not don't look too bad. And you've got like a soft shine on there like a on a
circular type
area of the ship here
really shines well against the skybox and everything in the front front doesn't look great, but
Yeah, I guess it is
If for a small ship is not that bad. I'm actually
not
I'm actually relatively impressed by the ship
But moving on to the Karelian corvette on the other hand
This is definitely not the model that is used in like a pipe war
And or like any of the mods that may have like a remodel of the ship
Yeah, and this is definitely not one of those because again the textures here are quite gritty quite dark
and I don't know if this is just add noise to texture to give it like a placebo of depth or
Or like detail, so I'm not really
Fond of that. I mean some people like this is a personal opinion thing
Some people might like their ships a bit more gritty a bit more
Rusty or like you know how metal is actually supposed to react
But I like the back here like all the engines the back
I just don't really like the texture surrounding it and again when there's no particles on the engines
It just definitely feels like there's not a lot of life going on with the ship
Definitely quite a lot of beacons here like just to give it a little bit more depth
But like I said like it's it is lacking
No hard points either where you can highlight on all the the lasers
where acts as an anti fighter, but
it's decent but like empire war mods definitely have it better for sure like
The the arsons and the Corvette models in in full of the Republic
Is it's incredible? You know, like I think they look brilliant
So next we have the Millennium Falcon and the model here is not fantastic, unfortunately
you're getting some errors here where the
with the
windows on the side of the ship
Doesn't look fantastic
And on the underside you can see it's just a flat 2d texture and I'm pretty sure that has been ripped from like some
that doesn't look like it was usually created that definitely feels like it's being ripped from somewhere and I'm not sure where
The back of the ship here looks pretty decent but like it's it's this is relatively in comparison. It doesn't look fantastic
and if I'm right and thinking is that
You are you able to know that's actually a reflective design
Oh and you can actually highlight this so there's hard points on this ship
I highlight that again all those the heavy look that's a heavy laser
But yet see the thing is I find odd here
This actually works quite well, but you'll probably see it not work. So well with other ships, is that like they use
Standard layouts for heavy lasers or turbo lasers. They just stick them on the model and hope that it works here. It works pretty well
You've got another heavy lazy laser right on the bomb and here it works
Well, it matches with the colors somewhat. But again, this texture does not look great and III don't feel like this has been
Specifically created for the model. I feel like these are textures have been ripped and slapped on
Some way shape or form I like where they were trying to get the detail to get that rust
You know that that worn-out look for the ship, but it just doesn't look great to me. But
You know, that's just my opinion you may disagree, but I think there are better models out there
Here, you've got the Nebulon B frigate. And again, I'm really not fancying these stretch textures
I know they're trying to go for a worn look at like but if you really soom in on
The I don't know what those ships are doing over there. I hope they're doing okay. They're struggling but um
Yeah, I'm just not a fan of how these textures can stretch
and
It's very low quality textures and they overlap and they don't really mesh. Well together. I feel
I
Appreciate where they're trying to come with come from with this, but it's not great
And again the engines on the back here still very lifeless and the reuse in the same
texture and and everything that it feels like
You know what? I don't know like there's just better models for other mods out there for sure
But um, but that's the Nebulon pier one thing. I will say and maybe it's just me, but the quasar
It's pretty good. You know, I think I think this ship looks great unfortunate doesn't spawn any fighters or bombers or anything like that
No squadrons, but I gotta say like I've always been a fan of like the quasar design
I always think like it's I don't know. It's just something simplistic about it. And I really like the engines here
Like I said, like the fighters had like some sort of color to the engines
Maybe it's not it's not particles mind you but it still gives some sort of life to the model like it
Feels like it's turned on you know
As in like that the ship is actually on and ready to move and so on so forth not the other way around obviously
but I
really like the
The hangar bay right underneath here. You got some really nice textures and it all really
Meshes, well like you can feel like this is a full 3d model inside and out
And I feel like this this hang they definitely gives it some life and the texture here
Texture work here really fits. Well, you know, it's like it's meant to be there
So yeah, I mean like it's not perfect mind you
But it's definitely I feel like again the reflective design against the sky map here looks really nice, you know
And I appreciate that like like homeworld and mods like this can really allow you to get a full look around the ship
You know like a full
3d movement and that's why I feel like these models need to be a bit above and beyond because of these functionalities
because you can really get in and zoom in on these ships and
See everything there is about it like like this missile frigate here. I
Haven't seen a ship yet. So this is the first time I've seen it and
I whilst. I know it's going for the worn look and you've heard before that. I'm not fan of it
I think it works it I think with a darker colors the black out linings in the center
both horizontally and
Vertically, I think it works. Well and the hangers here look look pretty good
Like it feels like it's worn out matched with the rest of the design here
Same with likely the turbo laser hard points here, which aren't actually showing on the ship
But you can actually see these have been planted on correctly and they look very pretty good. Not sure about like the textures on the
On the the bridge here. I'm not a massive fan of that. That doesn't look great
It looks a bit messy. But other than that like I feel like this looks pretty good
Like it's not perfect by any means but compared to some of the ships to be seen in this lineup
Especially in there belong be I feel like this one does the rustic look pretty well
the interdictor I
like in terms of the design, I think it's I like the blockiness of it, but I don't feel like it's
Good for this mod in particular. I think the textures are good. I think the colors are great
but this actually feels like it's from a
Star n64 star wars game. It's a very blocky Lego light design with a lot of colors and a lot of vibrance to it
but I don't feel like this is
It follows the consistency of all the other ships that we looked at. So
Yeah, that's I mean that's my opinion. It definitely looked too
angular and and I know that's trying to represent more to the interdictor design, but it
I don't feel they pulled it off for this mod in particular, but I definitely feel like
Slapped that in an n64 game. I'll say that looks amazing, you know
But one thing I do find interesting is that this is actually apart from the Millennium Falcon
This is actually the first ship with hardpoints now. They don't put the hard points on the smaller ships
Unless specific reasons like the Millennium Falcon
But here you've got you know you at your turbolasers your heavy laser and you can actually see them on
The ship here and you can actually highlight them which I think is really cool in homeworld
The the hover box is a bit odd
You have to get it right within the circle to actually highlight them
but I think these look great, you know, like it definitely adds a lot more depth to the ship with the turbo laser and and
See, sometimes you can't hover over them
You have to really zoom in sometimes but yeah
It really shows that a bit more depth to to that type of ship. The neutron looks awful in my opinion
I think this is probably one of the worst ships in the lineup
Just because it's a horrid textures. You've got all the way around here. Now. I know I'm sounding pretty rough here
You know like I don't mean to come off as mean
Especially if the mod developer who worked on this is looking on this I do apologize
I don't need to come in very very strong, but
Unfortunately, like this is probably the last update. We'll see for a mod like this, you know, like the last update was
2018 and it's been two years since then and
We haven't seen any updates for this mod, which is unfortunate because you know, like I understand that this was brought in
This is probably nowhere near finished
So me being rough on it is it's not fair, but it is the final update of this game
So we're not going to see any more visual improvements on this neutron star bolt cruiser. That's for sure
But uh, but yeah, like I said, it's using that that blue
texture design that we saw earlier
but it's just stretched over and over again and you seeing
Not all of the 3d model is attached together you getting some floating aspects on the bottom here
And the engines look like you I feel like you've got it. This reminds me of like the
Dreamcast era
You know where you had these higher textures the higher higher resolution textures, but it was still stretched over large polygons
you know, it was just a nap in between stage of like the n64 and a ps1 to the ps2 and the Gamecube and
the Xbox Dreamcast was deafening in between there and and
You're using the same textures in some of the engines that you saw in the nebula on B
or the I forget the I think the gunship and here it just it doesn't look great and I
Understand that this is probably just a first iteration just to get it in the mod
So but yeah, not not great. Unfortunately next we have the Liberator carry
I've not seen this one, but Wow, actually I've not seen this one and I really like this
I don't know what it is, but about like the shininess
like the shaders of the metal shine really works here, you know, if you're gonna go for like a semi warm look,
But you also want the metal to feel reflective
Definitely the way to go and the hangar bay here looks amazing. Look at that. I love that. It looks so good and
You've got the turbo lasers here. I do. I will say the turbo lasers
Definitely me maybe feel a tiny bit out of place here. The I can't see the text for that
Let me see the the iron cannons
Okay, well it looks like these ships are moving on to battery but
What I'll probably do is
I'll probably reset the map here and and get the rest of these ships out because they're
Actually, you know what? I'll let them fight. I feel like that might add a bit more depth to it. Sorry
I just had to lower down the sound effects techs are quite loud
But with the Liberty the liberator carrier, you've got to like all the hard points here in the iron cannons
Medium iron cannons look amazing. They really look great. I have to admit
Engines look a little bit lifeless. I have to say but you know that's been a common theme with the rest of them
But other than that, let's have a quick look
I'm trying to keep them in order because they're all China like runs straight to the enemy here
but what are
one laughs
so what will actually
focus on is the frigate next and this is definitely not a finished model by any means there's only one hard point the reactor and
It's a very common ship that you'll probably see in a lot of like Empire War fluent revenge
And so on so forth, but this is definitely not the same model this one that definitely looks a little worse
I really like when the ships move and the engines activate that adds life to it
But for some reason it just looks like it's just dead when it's not moving
You know, like I said, I'm not big fan, but I have to say like this one's definitely not finished
I won't be too harsh on it. But yeah the textures not great when you zoom in they're very very
Low quality, unfortunately, but um, but yeah, they're there. Oh, you've got it set. Yeah, we've got an ECM
Hard-on, oh, there we go. We can see all of them now. Sorry
bridge, you've got a fire control ECM sheíll projector shield projector sensors engine and hyperdrive so there is
Your standard assault frigate. I didn't you got the MC 30c
Which looks a little bit better than the rest of them?
But I'm not sure like you've seen stuff like as I mentioned earlier the heavy turbo lasers just plunked on top
Different color scheme doesn't look that great like on top of it
It makes no sense to me, you know
But there is a lot of hard points here and I really like that you can hover over these heavy lasers all eight of them
That looks really great
the point defence laser and underneath you've got another point defense laser and your turbo lasers here like is
it's not perfect by any means as I keep mentioning, but it's better than some of these ships that we've seen here and
There's a little tease of what's coming up in the next video, I don't want to
Spoil it too much but moving on to something not so great is the MC for ta now
I'm actually quite a big fan
Of the mc40 a right now is definitely one of the better ships in front the the latest for avenged update
I have a lot of fun using that ship especially in skirmish
But this model does not do it justice
like I do not like the the window the blue window texture being stretched all over these like
a ship of this shape, you know, it's very
What's the word I'm looking for syndra calls not syndra call like there's a lot of cylinders being stretched and pull on to dish
Like you would see in an ISD and so on and this this just does not look
polished now
I probably am aware that this is probably just like a
first or second iteration of the ship and that kind of gives us a little bit of a
of a
Hint because there's no hard points, etc. Well, they want everyone out. Oh, no. No, they just wiped out the front line there
Well, put me into battle soon. Don't worry
You'll get to see them fight
But yeah, not not not finalized. I don't think it looks that amazing
but I mean, I don't want to be too harsh because I was
Because if they're not finished, they're not finished, but you know it is what it is. That's the mc40 a this is the mc40 be
and
Again, a very slight model iteration between the a and the B
You can see like the cannons on either side of the MC 48 hull
Here you don't
but
Again, the MC 40 B
You get some hangers here instead on the front and I have to say the hangers don't look amazing the textures stretched
The walls look, okay
but and that said as a ceiling
But that that hanger does not look fantastic and the tech like now we started to see a more common
Mon Cala design of these this MC 8 and MC line and you can tell that the textures just don't I
Get what they cut trying to do, but the textures here
Should not be final especially when you're getting overlap on on new
Like like cylinders that are attached to this model
Like the engine here that just doesn't look great, you know
But and the engines doesn't look super fantastic either
But when they turn on like that, they don't look too bad. But but yeah, there you go
No, no hard points on this one. Of course
That's really all I can add at the moment
I have to say the frogs revenge Mon color ship updates in the 2.3.6 version
fantastic, and that should be a prime example or like a
standard for how you want to approach
like a very circular
rounded design
Ship like this and I have to say like I'm not the most proficient 3d modeler
I've dabbled but nowhere near anywhere like quality studio quality or anything like that that they're not the easiest
to texture, you know, especially when you've got cylinders upon cylinders is quite hard to match those all up so
We've already covered the Liberator
Carrier, let's move on to the rest of the Mon Cala
Ships the Dauntless. Let's have a look at this. I like the under lunder of the Dauntless here looks pretty good
And I've mentioned this before in the other
When we were covering all the ship updates in an empire war for want revenge dauntless had an update as well
I think this is a nice looking ship
I think it's very hard to go to get it wrong, you know and all the hard points here
This definitely feels a bit more final because obviously you got the hard points at the heavy turbolasers medium iron cannons
And I feel like the medium iron cannons actually work for this ship texture. Although be it that the texture is not very high-quality
It looks pretty clean, you know and the hangars here look great
Kind of like Fitz feels like it's supposed to be there
The iron cannons on the side of the hull there and then you've got your turbo laser right near the bridge
Ya know looks pretty good
but unfortunately
That's the best. You're probably gonna see in the rest of the MC lineup here. You've got your own
Thank you. You're the MC a team area
And the textures aren't great we go back to a more rustic grayish
Grayish beige design and when you really zoom in you can see that it's just a lot of pixels like
like the texture is not that great and I feel like it's just
It's a placebo effect to feign
Noise and detail and texture when it's not really there
So
I don't know. It's not a stylistic choice that I prefer whether or not this has been pulled from another game. I'm not sure
If it's fan-made or it's been like the models been ripped, but the textures are different. I'm unaware
Unfortunately, if you guys know let me know in the comments down below. I'd love to hear
And see those textures or models
You're the engines ECM like all the all the hard points here that you'd expect a lot of shield
Projectors and fire control just because it's like the MC lineup is such a very tanky
shield regen type ship
Nice. There you go hyper drive in the back there
the MCA ta
I know it's trying to support a different design. I actually like the burn marks that you get from the engine here
Whereas it's like burning up against the metal. That's actually quite a neat touch. It's just a shame that the texture design itself
Isn't very high-quality and I don't know why it's got such a reflective rim
Compared to all the other ships, like I know they're going from metallic design, but why now, you know
It doesn't make too much sense to me. Other than that, there isn't really much of a design
Alteration apart from the sides of the hull here, which just look equally bad in my opinion
I'm trying to be kind but it's just yeah, like compared to like the fighters and everything. That looked fantastic
at the beginning of the video these
Unfortunately, do not especially when you're getting like seam lines of the text and not looping
But anyway, moving over to the MC 80 home one
Not great. And what's even worse? Is that these?
These these hangars on either side just look not great unfortunately, but again,
Like I know there's hard points on here
But this I doubt this was a final iteration for sure
Like and I say this confidently because in the previous episode I showed you the Imperial one
Like which is used as like to destroy in the Crimea
Which is also in this mod as the Empire as a flagship model that looks just top-notch
You know like it looks absolutely
final and it goes to show just how amazing that this mod could have been if it
Continued and actually had the support it needed to finally see a finished version
because the ISD showed really promising results and and
It's good to see that we have the MC 80 home won in this game right now, but it's just it's not finished
You know and it's a shame that this is as far as we get to see it
Standard ho you're gonna see the same hard points here just a lot of shield projectors
Just for as a standard for like a tanky ship like this
I'm sure why the engines don't really match where the engines actually are here. But you know that's just nitpicking at this point, you know
But yeah it is
It's the same as the rest of the lineup. It's just not finished and I'm not really a big fan of the other pixelated textures
And you got them on
Ramona of Ramon Ramon - sorry, I'm awful with things
Yeah going for a bit of a spoiling a bit more of like a reddish
Like reddish beige design, but other than that no real iteration or changes here. I feel like
The the blue skyline like lights here on the outs in the center on the sides
look better and I think the
Hangar doesn't look too bad. But I mean it's a hangar at this point. They all look the same
It doesn't look too bad. I feel like this ship does look like it's better than its MC 80 home 1 counterpart, but I
Don't know like is still not perfect I for sure
So that's that's really my line up for the MC 80. There was one ship. I don't know where it's why it's not come out
Let me have a quick look or
Just quickly
find where my
There it is. Is that you? Yeah, that's you buddy
That's quickly bill. I don't know I didn't they didn't build it because I've ran out of resource units
Okay, interesting. Well, what I'll do is I'll put these guys into a fight and I'll build the bulwark mark free
Right after so you guys can check that one out as we can. See I put this some testing and resource units
I like 100,000 resource units and I'm nowhere near done
To building all these and the bulwark three hundred thirty thousand credits kinda nuts
But um bother than that, let's get these guys into the fight here
So we are against the Galactic Republic which is so a Clone Wars era this mod does cover Clone Wars here
You do have the Confederacy and you do have the Galactic Republic
And we will cover those probably all in one video rather than two separate ones
Let's just get these guys into a fight just so we can actually see
What they have to offer offer. Sorry in terms of combat
Alrighty, here we go. We're going straight into a battle. We're gonna lose that quasar really fast
Well, I mean like the quasars not building anything so I don't really see any use in in it right now
Yeah, I can see I can see how like
How the ships just wave about like they're in water
It looks I'm spoiled by Empire war where if it feels like very stationary like they stay in one
Z-plane and so on so forth so
they you know, like the engines move where you'd expect the ship to me if you know like
I'm not sure why you're getting this wavy sharp turns
On a you know an anchor center point where like it's not moving anywhere
But it's actually turning in ways that the engine wouldn't allow it
which is a bit odd, but
Yeah, not bad. I definitely wanna play I would like to play some skirmish of this mod with you know
The guys are templating or Corie losers, etc
Feel like this would be quite good to just do as a video maybe one or two skirmishes, but that's probably about it
Okay, because again you call ready build anything which is unfortunate
maybe you can change that in the the game settings like
the rules but you know as I mentioned that the preloaded in maps that you get
Pretty bad like I don't like the skyboxes
And I prefer sticking with like more saturated colorful ones that the year the stock
game has
so I think this one's actually called like
Scrambled or something. I figure out forget the name of this map
Yeah, it looks pretty good
You can see some ships that we will be covering in another video out in distance there
But yeah, other than that
I'll just jump straight into the bull walk mark free and we kicks we can
React to that ship together cuz I've not seen it
Alright, see you guys in a sec. Alrighty, we're back. We're building that bull walk mark 3, let's have a look
where are you he is and
Yeah not
Fantastic compared to the ones that you see in like for public or phones revenged
textures are
Not great. And this definitely feels like it's not final by any means. Yeah these these these textures
I'm not not fantastic
but I do believe that because a ship this large with no hard points makes me feel like the model will just
Pull it in as a placeholder to then be focused on at a later point. So yeah, that is the ball mark free
I'm gonna leave
Him just twirling around in space as I do my outro, which is guys. Thank you so much for watching
Another home world video. I'm glad you're really enjoying
