Man I feel like we need larger maps. The extra resource issue would still be apparent... I wonder if it'd be a good idea to rework it entirely and find another 'gimmick' for Hiigaran mothership. That or give something equally good to the Incarnate. Hyerpspace would be cool to see reintroduced, would make large maps more dynamic like in 2.

yeah the only way to play 1v1 without it being shit is the large 3v3 map at 300% RU density. Then you get slightly longer matches that *can* enable some real tactics (but other times they go all in on you with their Mship).

Think it would be neat if someone who surrendered had their mothership warp out. However, the fact that skirmish is literally parking your motherships on top of each other is weird to me. Though with my only real experience being Deserts, that might be just me...

Visually it’s a excellent. It’s very apparent they were focused on the campaign, which ended up not really fitting well within the grander feel of the homeworld universe. It’s not awful, but it’s not great. And what people are going to get really caught up on are the really wonky CG mindspace story telling bits.. which is very weirdly animated. I feel like a 2D visual with the art of DoK or HW would work well with the audio story bits. I think it really messed up the landing.

Why fights are done on such close range ? I remember in past battles where using warp jumps to get around map. Here you are literally fighting mothership to mothership broadsides....

The reason to do it (even on the bigger maps) is that your reinforcing units will be available near the fight, rather than having to cross the map. So if you are slightly losing, you can stabilize relatively easily. And if you are winning, you can snowball your advantage.

I had no idea sphere formation did that game needs to explain it a bit better

@trazyntheinfinite9895

It does increase uptime of guns on target and pays for it with zero evasion.

The Hiigaran mothership being able to act as a collector seems like it’s meant to balance out Incarnate aggro. This game didn’t really demonstrate that because you stabilized super early and then overran, but an Incarnate player who knows what they’re doing can get multiple types of corvette tech early that can overwhelm almost everything you’re able to produce at the same timing. From what I’ve seen, matches are going to start looking very different once the playerbase wises up and people get more confident in their builds.

During skirmish games, as soon as i noticed that resource collectors dont have to dump money at the mothership, i just drove her to the frontline for battles and quick reinforcing. With the removal of shipyards, there isn't much strategy left in multiplayer games. No longer do you need to consider the build orders. Just rush to frigate and destroyers while splitting small forces to protect your resource collecter or harass theirs.

No fault on you but I really dislike how the entire match had the motherships on top of each other. Such an odd little game.

I agree, but not doing it would put you at a severe disadvantage with reinforcements taking longer to get to the fight.

this whole game is a mess - minimum vialble product based on nostalgia

Wow, did not think that its how it is.. so silly

The mothership is such as overpowered that its melt down in seconds after bomber attack.

sucks the main reason hw ustogood is now crap they cant make races balanced mp is just spam units and just cheese people old hw games were way better with hyperspace subsystems and many more

The story and gameplay came out as disappointment.

So let's recap: Story's a woke mess, insulting the Homeworld story and IP itself. Observer-mode for MP is broken, and serves no purpose. Tactics and strategy in MP is dumbed down to it's most basic spammable level, a sin in RTS design. Maps are small and matches quick and ships can't even behave properly. Some formations are out-right broken and don't help you, trying to keep formation when you want to is impossible. One faction is blatantly underpowered and easy to overwhelm by another... in a game with only two factions to start with. Top of all that, the game comes with an absurdly invasive, root-kit level 'anti cheat' setup that's going to be a big pain for you going forwards. This is what DIE and greedy devs do to games these days. Not pretty, that's for sure.
