Whenever I played classic Homeworld, I loved imagining the reaction of the citizens of Kharak as they watched the launch on television. I always imagined them screaming in cheer and crying in joy as the Mothership cleared the scaffold. It makes their annihilation by the Taiidan more poignant because the Kharakians thought the Mothership would return to bring them all to Hiigara; instead millions would never see the Homeworld.

That actually makes it hit harder because for hiigarans they were positive, hopeful, that it will just be a peaceful trek to a better future than dying in a desert. Only expecting minimum resistance, heck expecting their own people to meet up with them and embrace them with open arms. Then the Turanic Raiders happened and it all went downhill from there.

It's mad that a five and a half minute sequence in which we never actually see a face (apart from Karan) can create so much emotional investment but triple A games can't make me sympathise with anyone.

The entirety Deserts Of Kharak was made from a different game, Shipbreakers, which was supposed to be an, I believe, MMO. Gearbox saw potential because of their recently released Homeworld Remastered and its background lore, to make a prequel, bought Shipbreakers, and just re-used some of the marketing for Shipbreakers that featured the baserunner. I'm pretty sure in the original S.Bs. the baserunner was going to have a bigger role than science vehicle, and would've functioned more like the command cruiser of D.o.K., but I can't say for sure.

I'll admit, I miss the radio chatter you'd hear in the original intro that would echo in the background, but all in all this is a great success. Glad to see that Gearbox actually meant it when they said they were going to make this a true-and-true HD remaster, rather than get everyone to board the hype train so they could use the preorder money to fund their next Borderlands sequel... That's right, Gearbox. Not even Homeworld Remastered can save you from Colonial Marines. Never forget, never forgive.

2:50 - the moment for hearing the music

The introduction of the Mothership isn't just beautiful, it's actually useful. For story purposes, since the religious chants give some sort of "relic" aura to the ship, which ends up being a literal ark to save the Kushan race, but also for gameplay purposes, since it shows how precious and powerful this ship is.
