How to unlock all the missions:
     Go into the Profile folder in the homeworld directory mine is for
example ex. C:\Games\Homeworld2\Bin\Profiles\Profile1

     In  this folder there is a file called "playercfg" it should be a
lua file. Open it up with notepad, and scroll down just a bit till you
see "maxmission = x" obviously x will be differnet for everyone but if
you want to be able to play all the levels the just type 15 here. This
will  open all the missions, just to let you know though it bases your
starting  fleet off your last completed mission, so if you try this in
the  very beginning you get jack crap to start off with (use next code
to  fix  this  though).  This is good however for skipping a difficult
mission...like 4...

Modify RU's:
     Locate the file "persist*.lua" where the * is the mission number.
The file is in the "Homeworld2\Bin\Profiles\Profile\CampaignASCENSION"
folder.  Open  the  "persist*.lua"  file  with  a  text editor such as
Notepad. Locate "RUs =" at the bottom of the file and change the value
to whatever you like.

Modify Ships
     Locate the file "persist*.lua" where the * is the mission number.
The              file              is              in              the
"Homeworld2\Bin\Profiles\Profile\Campaign\ASCENSION"  folder. Open the
"persist*.lua"  file  with  a  text editor such as Notepad. Locate any
string  containing  the  string  for your ships (Example: Hwr_Bomber).
Edit  this one with ex. Hwr_AssulteCorvette, and your former bomber is
now a GunShip. You can do this with all your ships, the only thing you
have to find out is what the diffrent ships are named.
