Ya but depending on you're defenition of a long time. He told me that he's working on the v1.15 one on March 5th. Mods do take a long...long...loooooonnnnnggggg time...so i've heard. but i would try making the kadeshi needleship mesh myself but that program 'Spooky Rat' the one to open HW .big files doesnt work on my comp.
I also think the particle should be different to. The exaust trail and the Hyperspace might look better if they where more 'Homeworldish'. Also the textures. They are really good but theres black where the yellow should be on most of the ships. and the carrier's orrange on the top is black to. Im not angry at it it's actually amazingly accurate.
Also, some of the ships well actually 3, the reaserch ship, savage and repair corvettes. The salvage corvette should be the colony frigate and the reaserch ship should be the well, reaserch station, and the repair corvette should be the module constructor. Its just that well i mixed you're mod with solar sins 2.0 to make it compatible with v1.15 so i can have my own personal mod. It worked!
So the colony ship can salvage derelict ships so you kinda see my point.
