Hello Harlock's Top Gun Mod is avalible at my site *** Here is the info on it:
HARLOCK'S TOP GUN MOD V 1.5 IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!!!
YEAH it's done finally lol it took forever but it's finally here.
Version 1.5 is what 1.0 should have been, every ship was carefully rebuilt or upgraded in 3DSMAX 5.0 and all ships now use bob format as much as possible so everything will load much faster in game and any ship used by an npc player in a cut scene will show up now:-)

Features...
Custom load screen that references this mod and it's contributers so you know for sure when this mod is running. (it looks cool too)
The default map WITH DEFAULT PLOT has been slightly altered to have all custom and replaced ships available in the respective races shipyards and worfs. Also some of the custom and replacement ships can be seen flying around the x universe:-)
The number of xenon capships in three of their major sectors has been increased big time. This has been done to help balance the game against the new more powerful capships available to the player.
The pirates have a few surprises in some of their key sectors and they have a new base location in an unknown sector near rhy's desire.
I removed some hull eating nebuales from some of the pirate sectors and also from an unknown sector near rhy's desire. I also added a pirate base there.
There is minimal script usage so the game will run better without having to do all that math in the background next to all the math it already does!
There are custom and or replaced ships in this mod that are made by some of the best modders out there for this game and so the name TOP GUN MOD came to mind lol.
OVERALL custom and replaced ship count is THIRTY SHIPS!!! Including a custom dragon, nemesis, osprey, and hydra models! The docking slots on the dragon and nemesis and other m6 ships have done a 180 so now any docked m5 ships will fly out the back instead of smacking into your ship.
TWO new stations have been added to the game... the lasertower weapon forge is placed in every home sector of every race and in some sectors where there is a worf or just some eq docks. Unfortuantely this station is not player purchasable yet because it doesn't work correctly after the player sets it up so until it's proper functions can be added it will remain NPC owned ONLY. If someone wants to fix this please email me or catch me here at this thread and let me know about it.
The quantum Torpedo forge has been placed throughout the x universe. It's only placed in argon and teladi sectors and only the argon and teladi
buy sell trade use the Quantum Torpedo.
The Lasertower Weapon is now available at all lasertower weapon forges and the eq docks of every race. This weapon was added to give the player and the NPC ships in the game a better chance against the khaaka
and also it makes possible an actual sustainable invasion of khaaka space if desired. Any ship that is an M3 or bigger and can carry L size cargo can use the lasertower weapon except some of the TS and TL ships I think.
The Quantum Torpedo is now available at most argon and teladi eq docks and sectors. This new type of missile is really a space torpedo. It's terrible at turning but it's incredibly fast! just like a real life torpedo.
Take out a station in only a few hits:-) Only problem is that you can only use it on the argon sovereign and the teladi firebird and the argon and teladi M2 and M1 ships.
All custom and replaced ships and weapons and stations have their own description instead of the default blah blah hehe.
The mass driver weapon has been adjusted to be slower firing but causes more damage so it's actually useful.
There are custom and replacement sounds built in so you won't fall asleep playing X2 anymore! If anything your neighbors/parents/roomates will complain everytime you gun down a khaaka or pirate lol!!!!
Most missiles have been sped up a bit but just a bit to make them more useful. The hornet missile has twice the range 10km I think and better speed. Also the exhaust effects for the missiles have been "enhanced" hehe. The mosquito missile is waaaay faster now but does the same damage. I made it faster so it could intercept incoming missiles from farther away and it's much more useful now to a TS pilot for that reason.
The lasertower weapon does similar damage to the khaaka laser and has the same range but uses a little more energy to help with balancing the game out. Also it cost more than a GHEPT and takes a little longer to produce than a GHEPT too.
All argon and teladi capships have been sped up a bit and the cargo size of all capships of every race except the TL TP and TS ships has been increased slightly. ALL TL ships can now use PPC weapons but only the alpha or beta versions not gamma.
Also all argon, boron, xenon, paranid, split and most teladi and pirate fighters have been sped up to actually be useful. No more poking around in that teladi falcon at a measly 130 kph:-)
The argon disco is much better looking and can carry mass drivers and it can be seen in the starting cut scenes! no more upside down laser on the right side lol!!!!
ALL SHIPS in this mod can now be seen in the cutscenes FINALLY so it's all good:-)
ATTENTION!!!!
You will have to start a new game because the default map has been changed and many other things have been changed so you will have to start a new game to get this mod to work right there is no way around this sorry.
Here are some screenshots of all the ships added and customized in this mod... (I wanted to show off the custom cockpits too but that would make this thread waaaay to slow to load so check out the various ships for some alternate cockpits that I found buried in the game files.
Even the xenon now have a new capship cockpit for their M1:-)

These images were downsized with photoshop so they might look a little crappy but they certainly don't fully represent the ships they show off.
Not all of the ships are found at one place, they are found in their respective races shipyards and warfs... the argon sovereign can only be bought in one shipyard on the edge of argon space where it is needed most. The banshee isn't in argon prime and some other places because of the nature of this fighter, it can only be found on the fringes of argon space.
There is a sovereign class ship flying around in getsu fune if you wanna see it before you buy it.
THIS IS VERSION ONE POINT FIVE
You might run into some bugs with this mod. Check the readme for a full listing of known bugs as of 5/20/05
Enjoy the mod and pass it around it's all good:-)
If anyone wants to post a link to this thread on another page I don't think shadowtek would mind as long as you don't directly link to the file but I don't think ya can do that anyways. I'm sure that he want's more people to see this site and if my mod helps with that then thats great:-)
