a WIP X3 mod:
http://b5.hc-gamer.de/
I found her should be on the net somewhere, try to google it.
A cool mod for Nexus (seems to be discontinued though):
http://b5col.firstones.com/
there are mods for homeworld 1&2, Armada 1, and freespace 2; you can look up firstones.com or google them if you can´t find it there

I could install it (was quite hard work) but it never really worked, I never figured out why. I'll try it in the future again, when there is a new major release.
But you might try this: http://babylon.hard-light.net/. It is based on the freespace 2 engine and looks not bad. Its also difficult to install.
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=rur33g349ctg9q4ko4gvn6sq40&topic=39708.0
This thread describes the steps needed to properly install it. I needed to try it 3 times till it worked.
If you get to the error where you need to extract the "ships.tbl", send me a pm, I still have it saved seperately.
//EDIT: This project only gives the base engine and graphics, missions and campaigns have to be downloaded seperately

Oh, about IFH: It´s pretty cool, a well done starfury sim, but it´s a hell to control the fighter, and don´t even think about getting lost in hyperspace... :?

Google has! 
There was a link on firstones.com, but I think that one no longer works.
The mod is really good, not quite as many fleets as with Armada 2, but still fun - they have added sound files from the series (+ Crusade) to the ships (Vorlon transports telling you that "you have forgotten something" are fun! )
It was a bit unbalanced though; EA was WAY too strong from midgame on. But they had a nice hyperion variant, the Midwinter class. Vorlons were part of the Minabri tech tree, I think shadows were with the Centauri
Should you find the link, please post it - I think I would like to play that one again.
Oh, did I mention that you could blow up planets?

I've Found Her is pretty awesome but also pretty hard. Very realistic.
The Homeworld mod is for Homeworld one, not the sequel, which annoys me a lot...

IFH is ore realistic than even the series was - on screen Starfuries could change direction quickly by turning on the spot; they didn´t just fly backwarsd into the same direction as before... :roll:

Actually they did...

But they could choose not to! :wink: But yes, you´re right - doing an attack run in a turned around Fury like in the series was cool, #i now remember that one

There should be a readme, and I think an install.exe. If not, just extract it into the folder; it should work (somehow)
i just unzpped it all to the folder and it seemed to work. its a bit buggy..froze at end of game (had to surrender because after killing all the earthers it didn't end)...but pretty cool...you only get shadow/drakh, minbari/vorlon, isa and ea. wish the centauri and narn were in there too.

This is cute, just realised how old that mod really is after reading the last sentence of the readme:
Oh my, I´m feeling terribly old at the moment... :roll:

Oh, before applying the patch, you should first patch Armada to 1.2; the patch is on the same page as the mod. That should help with some of the bugs...
