And how would that even work? As far as I can tell, there really isn't a whole lot of information regarding their government, so a lot of what would be posted would be based on theory.

Considering everything, it is rather fortunate that the people of Kharak waited until they had a multi-kilometer mobile shipyard and colony carrier rather than a reasonably priced scout ship before checking to see if Hiigara was real or not, or indeed if the ancient, forgotten, hyperspace core still worked.

@maxrander0101

27 күн бұрын

they sort of knew the core worked as it had been dragging ships into the planet for as long as it had been on the planet and even the other factions watching the planet knew this but could do nothing about it until after it was in the mother ship as it kept dragging their own ships into the planet aswell we know this due to the fact the ship carrying the weapon deployed to destroy it was left in orbit after its carrier ship was forced into the planet

@sayerglasgow115

27 күн бұрын

Given the length of the journey, even with the hyperspace core, a smaller ship wasn't really a viable option, and, of course, they only had one core so any ship using it wasn't something they could afford to lose. It was going to be a massive expedition, there wasn't any getting around that. Loading the ship up with colonists in cryostasis might have been a bit preemptive, but then again, Kharak was becoming uninhabitable, so it was fairly urgent that they establish a new home. Presumably, had everything gone to plan, those initial colonists would have set up facilities and settlements on Hiigara, ready to receive more colonists being ferried there by the mothership.

@@user-bf9ur1hq6v Except that planet killers are as their name implies: they destroy *planets* which means that you really aren't avoiding "high casualties" except maybe in the form of the military, but when it comes to the civilian side of things, you'll get very high casualties. Also, no it doesn't sound familiar since at no point in history have planet killers been used (we can barely go into space, so planet killers are very distant) unless you are referring to the dropping of two nukes to end the Second World War, however, need you be reminded that is not the same since we are talking about planet killers here and not localized nuclear strikes.

It didn’t take 300 years to build any ship. Kushans had theirs built in 60. And that was only because they didn’t have as advanced technology as other races The Pride of Hiigara probably took way less time because they now had the more advanced technology. Now, with the advancement of ship building techniques, the third ship of the line probably took under 20 years to make. And remember, they made two of them in HW 3.

... the 2.6km is *_NOT_* the real dimension. If it is anything akin to the original mothership, it's ~26km. A Taiidani carrier (and an older model, to be sure, but still the same type) is ~6km long from memory. Homeworld is the setting where ships are *_BIG_* things.

At least put some lance batteries and a couple of medium kinetic guns on it so it can stand up to corvettes and frigates!

Bentusi my brother I still miss you 😢

Hiigaran Motherships also have an infinite number of _ship crew_ in suspended animation to be used for crewing constructed vessels. This was exemplified most in the Explorer Class mining vessel/morhership Kuun-Lan¹, which could with enough resources, create untold numbers of Mimic strike craft, that were infiltration craft with suicide bombs for kamikaze attacks. Which are far more effective than a regular ship ramming under kamikaze orders. ¹Homeworld Cataclysm.
