Introduction
Welcome to Homeworld 2: Complex 7.3.x. The Complex Mod was intended to reintroduce features that increase the levels of complexity that had been stripped away from the Homeworld series in favor of the more streamlined and easier to learn format found in Homeworld 2. A few of these additional features are: The Honor/Rank system: This represents how much clout you carry within your chosen fleet (Hiigaran or Vaygr.) The higher you Honor, the better your Rank. The higher Ranks have access to better upgrades, construct more powerful ships and command a larger fleet. The Crew/Officer system: This has replaced the Chassis Cap system used by the original Homeworld 2. Instead of only being able to build a specific number of a particular class of ships (Fighter, corvette, frigate, etc...) You may now build anything you choose so long as you have the staff to support it (with a couple of exceptions.) Crew represents the number of pilots (for fighters and corvettes) and supporting staff (for frigates and capital ships) you might have in a ship, like engineers, weapons technicians, repair crews, etc... Officers represent the number of people who are capable of commanding a ship. The Hiigarans may only have twenty (20) Viper Missiles or Tango Mines. More Modules: The variety of available modules has been greatly increased, just about every aspect of a ship's functionality can be improved dramatically by constructing the appropriate module. Many modules also improve the functionality of other allied ships within a certain radius as well as unlocking additional research upgrades related to the module's function. More Ships: A number of new ships have been added. A few examples of them are listed below: The Hiigarans now have the awe-inspiring and powerful Battle Ark; Tulwar Frigates which can project personal Defense Shields as they rain plasma bombs down on their foes; Spies, fast little fighters with personal cloak generators; Scavengers, which have four resource drop-off points, can construct resource collectors and mobile refineries, increase your maximum RU capacity and construct the useful (and new) RU Fusion modules. The Vaygr can now construct triple-turreted Defender squadrons; Cruisers, with numerous missile/torpedo launch tubes; Dreadnoughts which can reduce even a Mothership to vapor in short order. Megaliths: By capturing and holding these large structures, you gain significant fleet-wide benefits like; improved build speeds, reduced hyperspace costs, or improved defense and weapon damage values. Planets: Planets are no longer just decorations in the background, but a part of game as providers of considerable amounts of resources. Debris & Salvaging: Capturing large sections of derelicts with the marine/infiltration frigates will allow your crews to place scuttling charges inside of the derelict to break it up into more manageable sections. Additionally, destroyed capital ships leave behind debris clouds that can be retrieved by resource collectors for moderate lump sums of R.U.s (which can be up to twice the collector's maximum load capacity) More Reports: Find out how much you have harvested/spent over the game year (1 year = ~100 seconds)[Game Year Summary]; find out about weaker enemies fleet stats [Remote Monitor] or learn how well your doing overall [Player Info]. More Maps: there are 27+ additional maps to play on, with a multitude of enviroments: Damaging area s of nebula, planet maps where you can colonize planets to generate R.U.s More Formations: Groups of units can now form new defensive formations: Walls, Power Lines and Destroyer/Cruiser shields. The new offensive formations are: Tortoise, Arrow and Claw. Improved AI: The AI personality can be customized to help players work out their strategies. Improved Interface: The interface now has a number of new features including reports and new buttons. Look in the interface section for more information.

THE INTERFACE
Interface Overview
A = Player Status Bar B1 = Build Display (B, Ctrl+B) C = Functions/Displays Buttons
BAck
to
A = Player Status Bar

1 = Next Rank (Honor required) | Current Honor Your Honor determines what research topics and, consequently, what tactical options you have available. Winning battles, capturing enemy ships, researching new ship chassis, upgrading existing ships' abilities, building new ships and harvesting resources all gain you varying amounts of honor. The in-game representation of honor is how much influence you have over the fleet; not just over the Military (who will do what you order them to regardless of your rank) but also the essentially civilian portion of your fleet (while everyone in the game is technically an astronaut, not everyone can be a AstroMarine or Astro-Officer) After all, a Captain would garner more respect from the masses than an Ensign. Clicking here with the mouse will bring up the Player Information display (default keyboard shortcut is the I-key) It is important to note that you can lose honor as well; losing battles and scuttling ships will cause TIP your honor to drop (and possibly lower your rank if it drops enough.) 2 = Crew Assigned/Crew Available/Crew Max | Officers Assigned/Officers Available/Officer Max In place of Homeworld 2's Unit Caps, these are the numbers which will limit how big or small your fleet can become. All manned ships require crew and the larger ones (Capital-class) typically require Officers. The Hiigarans must build a Crew Station and Crew Barracks(+150 Crew)/Officer Barracks(+10 Officers) to increase their maximum possible number of crew and officers. You don't want to know what happens if CAUTION your Crew Station is Destroyed (although you can probably imagine)
The Vaygr do the same through researching the topics Recruiting Crew x/6 (Adds +150 Max Crew) and Recruiting Officers y/5 (Adds +10 Max Officers). The destruction of a ship will cause a temporary drop equal to the crew that was used by the ship (if it was manned.) Crew and officer requirements for each ship TIP are listed under the ship's description in the Build Menu.
Clicking here with the mouse will bring up the Player Information display (default keyboard shortcut is the I-key) 3 = Game Year | Game Day: Each game year is 100 game days; each day is about a 1 second. Clicking here will bring up the Game Year Summary display. 4 = Remote Monitor Protected means that no one has researched the Remote Monitor topic and they cannot spy on you from a distance. Unprotected means that those with a Remote Monitor can view your rank, honor, crew and officer stats, research score, total maintenance costs, fleet score, current R.U.s available/R.U. Capacity, the total resources that you have gained by fusion, trade, mining, planet colonization, and from Diplomacy Fees; and lastly your overall score for the previous year. Clicking here with the mouse will bring up the Remote Monitor, which will allow you to view unprotected players information, provided you have researched the Remote Monitor (which requires the existence of an Advanced Sensors Array on at least one of your ships) 5 = Research Score Every research topic you complete increases this score. To advance the Hiigaran Research Station to the next tier of technology requires that you have a specific score in this. Hiigaran 2nd Tier-Tech: 125 points TIP Hiigaran 3rd Tier-Tech: 450 points
BAck The points given for a topic are based on the cost Research Sensitivity.

TIP of that topic (in terms of R.U.s) and the setting for
Clicking here with the mouse will bring up the Player Information display (default keyboard shortcut is the I-key) 6 = Maintenance Cost Every ship, module and subsystem has its own maintenance cost, ranging from 2 to 250. The exact amount is detailed in the ship's description in the Build Menu. If, at the end of a game year, you are unable (you are always willing) to pay the full amount, your fleet's effectiveness will be diminished as equipment fails from a lack of decent spare parts. Each failed payment of the full amount will result in a further decrease in efficiency. But as soon as you make a full payment, the penalties will disappear. Clicking here with the mouse will bring up the Player Information display (default keyboard shortcut is the I-key) 7 = R.U.s Available/R.U. Capacity Resource Units (R.U.s) is a generic term for the various elements you have gathered from asteroids, Mining Bases and scavenged from the destroyed hulks of capital ships. The number on the left is what you have available for production and research. The number on the right is how much you can store at a given time (Any extra is wasted and resource collectors don't stop harvesting if the max is reached.) Hiigarans can increase their maximum capacity by building R.U. Supply Modules on the Carrier (Total 1) and Scavengers (Total 5). Each Supply Module increases the capacity by 3000. Don't let Scavengers or Carriers with R.U. Supply modules die or be captured. The R.U. Maximum will be decreased by 3000 multiplied by the # of CAUTION Supply Modules that ship was carrying; any R.U.s that you had available over the new maximum are lost forever. Vaygr must complete Research to increase their R.U. maximum. Clicking here with the mouse will bring up the Player Information display (default keyboard shortcut is the I-key)
B1 = Build Display (B, Ctrl+B)

1 = Production Ship This displays which ship you will be building from and its current health. The buttons on the left, right and the drop-down menu from the top of the ship icon will change the ship you will be producing things from. Clicking on the ship's icon will select and focus your view on it. 2 = Production Slots and Facility Tabs This displays how many production facilities, subsystem modules and special slots are available for you to customize this ship with, as well as which production facility is currently being viewed The SHOW ALL button will display all available construction options. The facilities are from left to right: FIGHTER, CORVETTE, FRIGATE, CAPITAL, PLATFORM, UTILITY, SUBSYSTEMS and SPECIAL 3 = Production Options This lists what things you can build. The arrow on the left will bring up a help information display. 4 = Production Queues These collapsible lists will tell you what is currently being constructed, what will be constructed and how many are queued up and how far along construction

has progressed. The X will cancel the associated job and refund all R.U.s that had been used so far.
The II will suspend the associated job. To resume the job, click the II again. Clicking the + will expand the queue, clicking the will hide it. If your available R.U.s drops to between 0 10, all jobs will pause until more resources become available.
B2 = Research Display (R)

This is where you will research new technologies to expand the types of ships you can construct or improve upon existing models.
1 = Research Topics
These are the categories that all research topics are grouped into The SHOW ALL button will display all available research. The categories are: FIGHTER, CORVETTE, FRIGATE, CAPITAL, PLATFORM, UTILITY, MODULE, SPECIAL
2 = Topics
These are the topics you can research along with their cost. The boxed arrow to the left will open an information display explaining what each topic is about, what it will cost, and how long it will take to to complete research.
3 = Research Queue
This lists what you are currently researching and what will be researched next. The X will cancel research on the designated topic and refund all R.U.s that had been used so far. Clicking on the II will suspend research. Clicking it again will resume your research. If your available R.U.s drops to between 0 10, all jobs will pause until more resources become available.
B3 = Launch Display (L, Ctrl+L)

1 = Launching Ship
This is the ship whose docking bays are being viewed. The buttons on the left and right/and the drop-down menu from the top of the ship icon will change the ship you will be producing things on/from. Clicking on the ship's icon will select and focus TIP your view on it in the main display.
2 = Docking Procedures
This lists how many docking berths the launching ship has, and how docked ships will behave when repairs/replacements are complete. The number to the right of Docked Ships is of the form: Docking Berths in Use/Number of Docking Berths. STAY DOCKED tells ships to not automatically emerge from the launching ship once repairs/replacements are complete. AUTO-LAUNCH tells ships to exit the ship and assume parade formation around the launching ship once repairs/replacements are complete.
3 = Docked Ships
This displays the icon(s) and health of all docked ship(s)/squardron(s).
4 = Launch Orders
This will launch any units you have selected, regardless of repair status or the selected Docking Procedure.

C = Functions/Displays Buttons
1 : Display and Unit-related Functions
[FLEET] Player Info (I): Opens a display that lists the various pieces of information that determine your overall player score. Production Queues (Q): Lists all of your production ships (in the order they were created), what they are producing at the moment, and how far along the production is. Research (at the bottom of the list) displays what technology topic is currently being researched at the moment. Fleet Selector: Brings up the fleet selection display, this shows all the different ships in your fleet, and how many you have of each type. Clicking on one (or more) of the icons will highlight it, clicking on the green circle of arrows (Update Selection) will select whatever units you have highlighted. See Fleet Selector for a more detailed explanation of its contents. Remote Monitor: Brings up the Remote Monitor display, which displays a number of useful bits information for other players. R.U.s Year Summary: Displays an overview of what your resourcing operations have accomplished for the game year. Military Rank Remuneration Yearly Maintenance Cost R.U.s Harvested R.U.s Spent R.U.s generated by Fusion R.U.s Traded R.U.s received from a captured Mining Base R.U.s received from Planetary Colonization R.U.s payed this Game Year in Diplomacy Fees None: Closes the Fleet menu.

[STRIKE] This shows all the formations your units can assume (note that fighter and corvette squadron formation are based on their TACTICS setting) The Info button will show an example of what the formation will look like and a brief description of its purpose.
Capital Phalanx
All capital ships are placed in the front of the formation, allowing those ships with the best defense to absorb the brunt of the enemy retaliation. Frigates make up the middle, where their lower defense is somewhat mitigated, allowing them to bring their better weaponry to support the capital ships. Corvettes make up the rear, allowing them to join the fray while the enemy is distracted by the heavy firepower in the front.
Destroyer/Cruiser Shield
BAck
to
[TACTICS] These are your units behavior settings. Passive (F2) Capital Ships and frigates won't engage hostile ships, and will maintain their position until destroyed. Fighters, Corvettes and Resource Collectors will dock with the nearest ship when damaged. Support Units (Crew Cell, Patcher and Drone) will not auto-launch. Defensive (F3) Ships will engage enemies when fired upon. Ships will not dock if damaged. Support units will launch when needed. Aggressive (F4) Ships will engage any enemy within range of at least one of their available weapons. Ships will not dock if damaged. Support units will launch when needed.
2 = Display Shortcuts
These are the various on-screen shortcuts for a variety of useful functions. Previous Focus (PAG DOWN) | Focus Capital Ships (HOME) | Next Focus (PAG UP) These buttons will change which unit(s) which your view will focus on. Previous Focus/Next Focus This will backtrack/progress between the various unit(s) you have focused your view on. Focusing the view on a unit(s) can be accomplished in one of several other ways: Holding down the ALT button and clicking on a unit with the mouse. Pressing a group's assigned number twice. Clicking a displayed unit's image in the taskbar In the Build Menu or Launch Menu, clicking on the image below the drop-down list will focus on that unit Selecting a unit(s) and pressing the F-key; or if a unit already selected, press the F-key. Focus Capital Ships This will allow you to cycle through your capital ships with buildable modules and weapon systems (the will cycle in the order they were built.) Fleet Selector

This will bring up a display that will show you what your fleet is currently composed of, categorized by class Fighter, Corvette, Frigate, Production Capital Ships (Ships that can build something), Armed Capital Ships (Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships, Vortex, Battle Ark, etc...), Platforms, and Utility, Fleet will highlight all units and Refresh Selection selects the units you have highlighted. To use it, simply click on the box representing the ship(s) you want to have selected, then click the Dotted Green Circle (Refresh Selection). Cycle Tactic Overlay (Tab) The tactical overlay outlines all ships with an representative icon; it also shows you what the unit you have selected is currently doing; a red line indicates attack, green is movement, yellow is harvesting. This option cycles between three different settings: None (no tactical overlays will be shown at all) Partial (Unit-Type Overlay will fade as you zoom in) Full (Unit-Type overlays and Module Effect Spheres will always be shown, regardless of zoom in both sensor manager and normal views) The Tactical Display is excellent for finding TIP enemies whose coloring or size might make them hard to see. Disable/Cycle HUD (Backspace) This hides the HUD completely, making it ideal to take screenshots that aren't cluttered up like the one at the beginning of this section. Enable Cinematic (On Selection) As far as I can tell, this only makes it look like the cinematic mode (Box Office Mode) in vanilla Homeworld 2, it doesn't record a cinematic. Press ESC to exit out of Cinematic mode. Press N to move to next focus. Select Military Units (A) Using this will allow you to use box-selection and only select military (non-Utility) units. To use the Keyboard shortcut, hold the key TIP down while you box select.

How Do I...
Collect resources from debris? 1. Capture it with marine/infiltration frigate(s). 2. Select the debris and scuttle it. 3. Select at least one resource collector and click on the fragments left over. Colonize a Planet? 1. Move a production ship (Carrier, Mothership/Flagship, Shipyard) close to the planet. 2. Keep the enemy from getting close to it. Use a Mining Base? 4. Capture it with marine/infiltration frigate(s). 5. After it has been captured, send at least one (1) resource collector into it and build a Mine Container from a ship that can build utility ships (Carrier, Mothership/Flagship, Shipyard, Scavenger) Tip: A good ratio of mine collectors to resource collectors is 1:4 (that is 1 mining container for every 4 resource collectors.) Increase my Rank? Rank is based on your Honor (or Honour if you prefer.) To increase your honor, do the following: Build things. Harvest R.U.s Research technologies Win Battles. Capture enemy ships. Pay Tribute to allies Pay Maintenance costs. Tip: It is important to note that you can also lose honor. Scuttling ships and losing battles will cause your honor rating to fall. Use megaliths to dominate the universe? 1. Capture them with marine/infiltration frigate(s). 2. Protect the megalith. They can stand a good amount of damage before being destroyed, but invincible they are not. 3. Take over the universe. (Good luck with that too.) Keep my ships from exploding? Don't build the Evacuation System until you really need to evacuate the ship. This system (available to the Hiigarans) is intended to rescue the crew of the ship that builds it. It will drain that ship's health until the ship is destroyed. Capture enemy ships? You must tell at least one marine/infiltrator frigate to latch on to it, You must have the crew required to man the ship; otherwise it will be scuttled after being captured.
GAMEPLAY FAQS
Conceptual OAQs (Occasionally Asked Questions)

What is Honor? My interpretation of the Honor System in Complex is this: Honor represents how much clout you have over the entire populace (not just the Military) under your command. Don't forget that in addition to the crew members and officers you also have civilians (since the stork can't bring you a full-grown man in combat gear) (or a baby in combat gear for that matter.) If you want to contend how unreal the honor system seems, consider this; you aren't the only intelligent entity capable of controlling the mothership/flagship. You had to be wired in, so someone else could be as well. There are other people in the fleet who think they can do a better than you, so the honor system illustrates just how well the general populace think of you. Sure the military will follow your orders; but the scientist's, engineers and other non-combat people are under no such obligation. And no, you cannot declare martial law. The Vaygr leadership would be just as bad, just because Makaan banded them together doesn't mean they trust each other or him (you). Only examples of success will impress the warlords. To a Vaygr...Nothing else matters.

Hiigaran
The Hiigaran's ships all serve multiple roles, but; and make use of advanced technologies with offensive weapons like pulsar arrays, ion cannons, rapid response anti-projectile turrets and anti-ship callisto torpedoes; defensive measures including defensive field generators and cloaking technology and a large selection of ships available for researching and construction. From the gigantic Battle Ark-class super capital ship to the Intruder fighter squadron, the Hiigarans possess the most flexible and well-engineered fleet in the known galaxy (with the possible exception of the Bentusi.)
VAYGR
Race Overview
A recently formed conglomeration of raiders and space pirates, the Vaygr rely on sheer numbers and brute strength to break their opponents into space debris. Space-faring ships have learned to avoid dust clouds for fear of ambush by Vaygr Lance fighters and Bombers. Their Vaygr ships are typically single use ships, but they are excellent at what they can do.

They can also use their minesweeper cannon to clear out enemy minefields and destroy enemy missiles before they cause damage to your fleet.

Total Damage 1785 The development of a pulsar array system that wouldn't lose beam cohesion over long distances resulted in this. The only detraction was that the new array required half of a frigate-chassis for one array and a unique power distribution system; these problems effectively relegated it to being limited to specially constructed 'Sniper'-class frigates. The result, however, was a ship that could knock the sensory antenna off of enemy frigates from across the battlefield, and in sufficient numbers could even take on capital ships and come out victorious. Upgrading it with twin long-range torpedo launchers further increases its effectiveness.

In addition to boarding and taking control of other ships, the marine frigate is also used to take control of the ancient Megaliths and abandoned Mining Bases. They are also used to drop demolition crews into ancient debris hulks, who will place small explosive charges and fragment them into pieces which can be retrieved by resource collectors and brought in for processing into R.U.s.

Additionally, the damage they do is by the second, that means that the target is being dealt that damage each second the beam is in contact with them. The beams can be upgraded to penetrate defensive fields, which will also slightly enhance damage and rate of fire. Note: Beams that hit dust clouds will charge them for a short time, causing damage to any ship passing within that lacks proper shielding.

With frequent attacks by capital-class ships on the Pride of Hiigara, the need for some means of protection arose. The Tango-class mine was developed to fill this need. When not needed it will follow the Pride of Hiigara where ever it goes, and automatically seek out and detonate near the hull of any capital ship identified as an enemy. While not extremely fast, it is fast enough to avoid the slow-moving rounds of the heavy weapons typically featured on capital-class ships. And more importantly requires no crew or maintenance. It has no engine, and uses a small array of powerful electromagnets to maintain its position close to allies and draw itself closer to the hulls of large enemy ships.

A combination of a light carrier with a scavenger make a useful remote harvesting operation team; the scavenger will handle the resource collectors; while the light carrier can construct defensive fighter and corvette squadrons as well as cloak the operation should a enemy force come by.

Total Damage The Chimera Station, like it's mythical namesake, is a combination of several systems into a compact hull. Featuring built-in enhancement modules like hyperspace and a hyper-gate system; advanced long-range sensors for cloak and hyperspace detection, as well as a sensor ping; and defensive modules like a cloak, gravity well and sensor distortion generators. Two stations can be linked together and used as a hyper-gate system, allowing anything smaller than the mothership or a battle ark to hyperspace almost instantly to distant locals and back again. However once this is done, neither station may use its hyperspace jump ever again (even if the gate connection is reassigned.) However other ships will have no such difficulty. The station can construct spies and probes; when the appropriate topics are researched it can also produce proximity sensors and sensor distortion probes. It is otherwise, however, unarmed and vulnerable to capture or attack.

With Battle Assets 523,720 The Mothership; the last hope of the Hiigaran people. It possesses decent weaponry, but without improvements it wouldn't survive long going toe-to-toe with a Vaygr Battlecruiser. It can build a set of Rapid Sweeper turrets (Anti-Fighter/Corvette), Torpedo Launcher (Anti-Frigate/Capital) and an upgradeable Heavy Ion Cannon turret (Special Ability default is Z-key) to support its existing defense guns. But these are defensive emplacements. To send the Pride of Hiigara into the thick of battle with a chance of survival requires the Mothership Battle Assets.

Total Damage 77460 The Vortex is the most advanced anti-capital ship ever designed by Hiigaran scientists. It is initially armed with a dozen kinetic cannon and twin ion cannon turrets. It can also construct a number of additional weapons emplacements: Four rapid sweeper turrets to handle fighters; four torpedo launchers for anti-corvette and antifrigate operation; and a pair of minelaying turrets to aid its ion cannons with capital ships. It is heavily armored in its front and back, but this is a moot point since it will rotate and move as it attacks. The only downside to the spinning maneuver is its tendency tends to disorient its own crew who frequently disregard their initial orders and attack any enemy ships within range.

But despite all this weaponry, this ship is not meant to fight on its own, it has a massive ship hold capacity; and can hold destroyer-class and cruiser-class capital ships, frigates, corvettes and fighters, and has an external dock on its back for the Pride of Hiigara.

incursions. With proper support it can create a nigh impenetrable barrier against enemy incursion. Though lacking engines, it possesses powerful hyperspace wave generators that allow it, and capital ships in a large radius around it, to jump from location to location. Its sizable docking bay can hold dozens of ships ranging in size from fighter to frigate. Once upgraded with a Defense Facility, the fortress can construct a number of unique features; auto-launching defense drones to handle enemy fighters and corvettes; patchers to repair the fortress and nearby allied ships; and numerous weapon emplacements. (Though it is important to note that most of the heavy weapons emplacements are on the bottom of the station and cannot reach targets coming from above.)
