![]() The Kushan have lived on a searing desert world for millennia and have recently discovered a shipwreck with advanced technology, allowing them to leave their planet and solar system. The storyline of both games follows the Kushan people, seemingly in a different galaxy, or at least a different time period, as no mention of Earth is made. Each battlefield is expansive, bringing flanking and surprise attacks into play (especially with the cloaking fields in later levels). The player has time to take control of a losing engagement and either withdraw or change tactics to push back. Fights are long, but rather than drag on in tedium, they provide the player with meaningful avenues for strategy. Research is ponderous, especially at the capital level. Resource ships take a long while to get into position and fill their holds, after which they begin the sluggish process of returning to their resource controller, docking, and unloading. 'Homeworld' is a slower RTS experience than most of its contemporary siblings. During all of this, a small flotilla of logistics ships works back at the base, harvesting resources and developing new techs. Support vessels can accompany the fleet to repair ships on the fly or offer bonuses. ![]() Capital vessels are slow and cumbersome, but once in position can bring withering fire down on enemies. The small vessels careen around wildly, focusing on small enemies and screening for the larger ships. The player can have a fleet of over 100 vessels, allowing for massive dogfights.ĭuring battle, ships typically behave as they would be expected to, depending on their size and role. Eventually corvette, frigate, and capital ship options become available. At the lower tiers are small strike ships and fighters - interceptors, bombers and the like. By researching new tech, I gained access to increasingly powerful (and expensive) spacecraft. These resources come in the form of asteroids that are harvested by mining vessels. The player has a pool of resources that must be replenished in order to continue building ships and researching new technologies. The combatants are spaceships or gun platforms, and have tactics not generally seen typical RTS units, such as the ability to fly in formations.ĭespite these differences, the games still follow many RTS conventions. It is a science fiction game set in deep space, and so all battlefields are three-dimensional.
