Classic Era (2003-2005)
During the early stages of PDS modding for Homeworld 2, the focus was on tactical combat realism and improving point-defense systems. Fleet specialization became key, and the community actively tested and improved various mod versions. The introduction of complex defense mechanisms like interceptors and flak cannons laid the foundation for later developments.
- Key Features:
- Point-defense turrets and interceptors.
