[quote who="Major Stress" reply="16" id="3049593"]I Hated the HW2 interface! I preferred the separate windows for the build, and research screens of HW1. That didnt detract from the game at all IMO. It left the main view of HW1 quite literally unobstructed. No big ass side, and bottom bars taking up 1/2 the damn screen. I can focus on the action in HW1 without menus getting in my way. Some say that they didnt like that there was no UI in HW1.. EXACTLY! to me that was Homeworld classics best f
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="10" id="3049272"]why do you guys dont like HW2 so much anyway? Granted, the original HW game was the best one in the series, i consider it myself to be the best one.[/quote] I have my own reasons for not liking HW2. After having only played the demo, the voice work was abysmal, the practical elimination of support by it only being on resource collectors in an inferior state, and the flimsy nature of frigates. The only things I liked about HW2, were the vas
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="252" id="3049087"]Seriously? A Star Wars nut like yourself needs to play both of them. If you don't mind using the evil of steam you can probably get them for less than $10 during sales as well.[/quote] I plan to play both of them at some point, probably after a get my newer computer going.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="8" id="3049066"]Is it really being too cynical to go by what i see all too much of lately in the PC gaming industry? Especially by big name company's like EA, or THQ who would only be interested in making a quick buck off the Homeworld name, and force Relic to release it now, Now! NOW!! Who cares if the game worked, or not. We already saw the disaster that was Sword of the Stars II. A game with much promise force released way too soon by the publisher, and
[quote who="Sinperium" reply="248" id="3049047"]Who is Ludo Kresh?[/quote] To my knowledge, Ludo Kressh is the name of a Sith Lord during the Golden Age of the Sith over 5000 years before Yavin, and a rival of Naga Sadow after the death of Marka Ragnos. Apparently someone on the forums is using the name.
Welcome to the Sins community, Warb_Null. Good to see the Viscount -class Star Defender in SoaGE.
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="3" id="3048533"]I say leave Homeworld alone! Each successive "sequel" was progressively worse than the original. If anything port the original classic game into a modern engine. Only then will Homeworld be worth it. Until that time ill just play the classic.[/quote] I completely agree, something like a Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for Homeworld would be amazing.
[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="95" id="3043934"]The reason Zeta can't figure out what ship that Mon Cal I posted was is due to the fact that it doesn't have an official image to date. Tis Warb_Null's rendering of the Mon Calamari Heavy Carrier.[/quote] Ah, I should have known she was one of Warb_Null's excellent Legacy era interpretations. I don't particularly care for the Legacy era, it hasn't been well thought out, and save the Pellaeon -class Sta
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="71" id="3043219"]Zeta doesn't know a Star Wars ship. This is a day to mark in the holocrons![/quote] Mon Calamari ships, especially during the Rebellion era, are a canon mess. The only Mon Calamari ships I know of are the Liberty -class MC80 Star Cruiser , the Reef Home -class MC80 Star Cruiser (wingless Liberty -type), the Independence -class MC120 Star Cruiser ( Home One -type), the MC80b Star Cruiser, t
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="36" id="3042855"]I enjoy Sup Com (and Forged Alliance). When Sup Com 2 was released i practically cried! I knew it was dumbed down, but i didnt realize how badly it was until i fired it up. Its basically "HeroHammer" in a different genre. With a retarded story mode on top of it! They took everything that was cool, and FUN about Sup Com, and REMOVED IT! It played more like the ground battles of Star Wars Empire at War. Except more idiotically. Seriously?? "pre-
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="26" id="3042841"]Probably all plans for it died with the closure of Pandemic Studios. Might take a while for Lucas Arts to find a studio to trust to do it.[/quote] No kidding, and who do we have to thank for the closure of Pandemic Studios? EA, who has done the same thing to every decent studio they have bought out, from Westwood Studios to Maxis. Battlefront III will be great if LucasArts pays attention to great mods like Battlefront Extreme, which is how

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="5" id="3042320"]Homeworld would have been dead in a year without mods.[/quote] Homeworld was excellent in its own right, and has got to be one of my most favorite games of all time. Homeworld 2 couldn't even compete with it in my opinion.
She is a Mon Calamari ship that I have never seen before.
[quote who="Stant123" reply="10" id="3038355"]Don't forget, it was originally Westwood Studios (The creators of Command & Conquer) before EA bought them out and changed it to EA LA.[/quote] One of the long list of buy outs by EA, they killed Pandemic Studios and Maxis the same way.
Oh, so C&C Generals 2 was the new C&C game Victory Games was working on, Generals is my favorite C&C game too.
That is a great little two part video, definitely a well done video!
I still like the first two Age of Empires and their expansions. I would be playing The Conquerors as the Britons or the Byzantines right now, but sadly the VIZIO television that I am currently using as a monitor doesn't support the resolutions of several games, Age of Empires (found a Command Line workaround), Age of Empires II (also found a Command Line workaround, but it didn't work for some reason), Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Stronghold, Stronghold Crusader, and Battlefield
Starbases, which are available in the expansions Entrenchment and Diplomacy, have an upgrade that stops the planet from being lost, for the TEC its called Auxiliary Government, for the Advent its called Enduring Devotion, and for the Vasari its called Enforced Loyalty.
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="18" id="3035707"]Still, since they aren't listing games made in 2011, why not add Homeworld?[/quote] No kidding.

[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="9" id="3035498"]And then they skip some gems like Homeworld2.[/quote] Homeworld2 was not a gem, if it wasn't for the interface improvements and strike craft squadrons, it would have been two steps backwards. The voice acting was abysmal, frigates were pathetic, and support was removed. I still use Homeworld as a benchmark for RTS games, and I haven't even beat the campaign yet, because I am always slow to find out about games. Homeworld2 was rele
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="2" id="3035345"]Well, a few flaws with that list. First, how are they the best of 2011 since most didn't come out then? Second, am I the only one that feels that other games should have trumped games like Age of Empires III? Third, how the hell is a Total War game a Real-Time Strategy?
