Those who haz not yet played Homeworld or Homeworld Cataclysm, please leave teh room(und go download an play it).
PAPERMODELS YAY!
und now we need game mechanics. We'll start with teh original game, with which I am FAIRLY familiar.
This is a greatly cut-down list of ships around which we can base our core rules.
Fighter chassis
Scout
Interceptor
Bomber
Defender
Corvette Chassis
Light Corvette
Heavy Corvette
Salvage Corvette
Minelayer Corvette
Repair Corvette
Multigun Corvette
Frigate Chassis
Assault Frigate
Ion Cannon Frigate
Repair Frigate
Resourcer
Capital Ship Chassis
Destroyer
Missile Destroyer
Carrier
Heavy Cruiser
Mothership Chassis
Mothership(duh)
So that means we need following mechanics:
Movement
Firing arcs
Accuracy
Damage
Strikecraft
Resources
Production
Considering teh size of teh ships from homeworld(4km for teh Heavy cruiser) I propose that strikecraft instead become squadrons, so wha we know as a squadron in teh game becomes instead a wing.
Weapon list
Autocannon
Defense turret
Railgun
Heavy Railgun
Plasma bomb launcher
Ion Cannon
Mines
Repair Beam(S)
Repair Beam(L)
Missiles
Mining beam
und Ramming too.
Now excuse me while I go play Homeworld again.
