The Strikers mod changes Homeworld2 multiplay to a focus on small, highly maneuverable combat swarms of strike craft.
No combat frigates or capital ships may be constructed.

This mod is only compatible with the post-patch (version 1.1) Homeworld 2 game.

Version 2.0 is playable online, and has several new features:

Customizable start fleets - play with 1 carrier, 2 carriers, 3 carriers, shipyard, or the standard mothership/carrier combination. The shipyard-only start should make for some interesting "base defense" type games.

Expanded unit caps for large swarms

Optional resource injections, with audio messages to let you know when they arrive

A brief opening text message onscreen to clue new players of the mod as to the gameplay rules

Ship construction is limited to:

fighters
corvettes
resource collectors
mobile refineries
platforms
carriers
shipyards
Frigate and larger combat vessels are not allowed.

MP Strikers comes in an easy to install compiled gametype data file. No directly executable code, no virus hazards.

Once installed in your ".. homeworld2 bin gametypes " directory, you will be able to select it from the "Game Type" drop-down box during multiplayer or skirmish mode game setup.

As usual, all players in a multiplayer game must have the same mod installed to be able to join. Unfortunately HW2 does not autotransfer gametype files, only maps.

Place the file in the \homeworld2\bin\GAMERULES directory. There is no gametypes directory.
