[quote who="Star Dragon" reply="5950" id="2990225"]Hi, I was wondering, what is the title/name of the song used for the distant stars opening theme? I can't seem to find any info for it.[/quote] This question so needs to be put in a FAQ.

[quote who="Ryat" reply="9" id="2989391"]Actually mindlessly spamming them is a bad idea as you mess up the white line of prosperity. And it does cost you something when a tradeship is destroyed. Your income drops a bit.[/quote] The lost income is still negligible unless all trade ships are destroyed.

I don't like the Diplomacy menu music as much as the original one from vanilla and Entrenchment, other than that, the music is fine, and new music for Rebellion is definitely welcome.
Similar, but not exactly the same.
Hmm... this gives me idea. Planets already get random bonuses that must be discovered through exploration, maybe instead of or in addition to the bonuses, there could be planetary improvements for things like trade, refineries, and mining, but only a limited number of them can be researched based on the planet type, like the existing planetary improvements. This combined with more planet types would greatly improve the depth without increasing the complexity.

More planet types like Water, Rock, Forest, Jungle, and Ecumenopolis are definitely needed, and Gas Giants, one of the most prominent planetary types in both sci-fi and reality, need to be more prevalent and useful.
[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="25" id="2988615"]Are you sure Relic could still make a proper sequel?[/quote] I don't know, after Relic changed the voice actors to terrible ones, especially for Karen Sjet, and the gameplay changes in Homeworld 2, I am not sure. Though, Relic does seem to know what they are doing with Warhammer 40,000 from what I have seen by playing the demos for Dawn of War and its expansions, and Company of Heroes from what I have heard.
Normal speed is generally what I play on, unless it is multiplayer than its whatever the host has set.
[quote who="master1a" reply="708" id="2988377"]I think that the biggest problem the online community has right now, is that almost everyone wants to play 5v5[/quote] [quote who="Wrath89" reply="709" id="2988400"]I really don't get why so many people almost only want to play 5s. I would think that 1v1s or 2v2s would be pretty popular but I only see a few people who regularly seem to host them.[/quote] Indeed, 5v5 is fun, but there are more ways to play than just 5v5. <
As DirtySanchezz said, the problem is Embargo.
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="706" id="2988090"]The player counts are not pretty. It seems lower than ever now. Maybe it's because people started up school again.[/quote] The only reasons why I am not on ICO are because my new video card just doesn't want to work right with Sins, and I not very good in the first place. Sins is so under appreciated.
[quote who="ice27828" reply="17" id="2988056"]Man I just can't wait for this post to come back up on the Blizzard forums when Heart of the Swarm gets released and the protoss expansion pack as well[/quote] People are already getting irritated by the division of StarCraft II, and the ramifications of having two buy HotS and LotV in addition to WoL, so I won't be surprised one bit if that happens.
[quote who="Stant123" reply="9" id="2988052"]Seems kind of stupid to me.[/quote] Indeed.
[quote who="Stant123" reply="6" id="2987915"]Did not know that. Thanks.[/quote] Since the Impulse move the forums have been separated, Stant.

Myfist0, its Vaygr not Vyger, CPT isn't quite right.
Have you installed Impulse? It will allow you to update the game to an even newer patch, 1.91.
[quote who="Campaigner" reply="14" id="2986275"]That leaves Homeworld 3. Never understood what people like about that series. I've tried part 2 and it was way too strategic. No tactics like in DoW & CoH.[/quote] As Timmaigh said, Homeworld was simply better than Homeworld 2. I have only managed to play the demo for Homeworld 2, and I didn't like it nearly as much as Homeworld. [quote who="Timmaigh" reply="18" id="2986347"]Regarding Homeworld, well you played the wr
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="14" id="2986261"]I think Rebellion is going to be overwhelmingly complex for new players because there will be so much to learn.[/quote] I agree.
A slingshot maneuver, not necessarily with the moon, would definitely be my first choice for interstellar travel beyond Sol.
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="12" id="2986176"]Sins could definitely use improved tutorials, especially tutorials to cover the additions in Entrenchment and Diplomacy (and Rebellion too).[/quote] Indeed, one of the biggest flaws with the current tutorials, they don't cover any of the additions in Entrenchment and Diplomacy.

[quote who="Wrath89" reply="10" id="2986091"]I would like to see the learning curve for multiplayer lessened. The game tutorials cover very very little, and new players have to experiment and play by ear to figure things out (and often fail). If the devs aren't going to come out with a good (significantly longer) tutorial that can do a better job of teaching players to actually be decent players, perhaps a campaign of some sort would be able to accomplish that.[/quote] The devs ha
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="31" id="2985241"]Alternatively i could use crossover of Homeworld and Sins, again basically it would play like Sins set in HW universe. Frankly, if Relic at some point decides to make HW3, i hope it will be something along these lines. [/quote] It has been hinted that Homeworld 3 is in development, so if it isn't more like Homeworld than Homeworld 2, I will be very irritated, because Homeworld was superior to Homeworld 2.
[quote who="Kitkun" reply="15" id="2983395"]Empire at War Phoenix Rising mod and X-Wing[/quote] Adding Battlefront 2 Extreme mod and the rest of the X-wing series to that would be the ultimate Star Wars experience! [quote who="Kitkun" reply="15" id="2983395"]Sins and Homeworld[/quote] I second that.
