Go play Nebulous Fleet command instead. Or try to fix this.

[Blackstorm]

It has actual ballistics simulation. It has actual ship scarring. It is very pretty, complex, and has everything HW3 should have had and more.

To the dev team, I seldom engage in game discussion. But you messed with the crown jewel of space RTS games. This was to be the GOAT, the space RTS to kill them all. The one ring that would settle BBI as kings.

I wish some proper journalist like the KOTAKU staff could interview you all to find out were it went wrong, because im 90% sure it was your parent company instigating BS that would appeal to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile game version you got going.

Regardless, you BUTCHERED the franchise. There is no other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way to put it. Your only good points are the score, the graphics and the UI. EVERYTHING else you got wrong. You guys saw remastered no? How the HECK did you screw that one up? Innovation is FINE, but this game has always been a bit complex. and EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time you try to make it more simple it just bites you in the ass. It happened on HW2, and on DoK.

Okay, so /rant is out. Lets Fix this if you give a DAMN about this game.

1.- Unit caps are ♥♥♥♥. Having Unit caps per Unit type and PER unit is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bonkers. WHY? WHY can i NOT build 30 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ion beam frigs if i want to? Stop trying to control every thing a player a can do. Gives us a FLAT unit cap and be done with it. Hell, Split it into Capitals, Frigates, and Small craft.

2.- Add units. ADD MORE UNITS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. 1 Corvette for Hiigara? Where is the creativity gone here? Even if you struggle to make it useful, why be afraid of choice and balancing? This just looks lazy.

3.- For the love of god Innovate. You know the only things you copied right from the previous games was the ♥♥♥♥ no one liked. After DoK carriers, the mother ship feels dull. It can shoot down something (Unlike previous entries), but we could have made it
something so much more relevant for Skirmish mode. Sure it can move now but it is a fat, nearly useless target that is again just a mobile production unit.

4.- Proper fighter behavior. Its... its bad mate. Fighters don't stay in formation like that after engaging.... They engage and then it breaks out into dodging and trying to get their target again in sights. Homeworld 1 had it right, 2 was okayish give that it were squadrons. This is just sad to see how my fighters get shot down by... trying to stay in formation. Sigh.

5.- Props to the voice actors trying to rescue this mess.

6.- Remove the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DRM. Remove the Always online requirement. Get bent with that. Its the most greedy, annoying, USELESS, controlling, micromanaging piece of crap thing you could have done to the game. So, Gearbox gets to decide when we stop playing the game when they don't sell enough copies and take this game offline in what, a year or 2? If this was you Gearbox, get bent. Cause flash news, IT WONT SELL WELL IT IS A BAD GAME.

7.- Bigger skirmish maps. Seriously. This are TINY.

8.- No jumping in skirmish or coop? For real? I guess what is the point if there only 10k resources per player on the map.

9.- Automatic collectors... WHY?

10.- Get the building ship queue back. Otherwise this is even more a clicking simulator just spamming units. By the way, that is the way to win. Just spam collectors and spam more ships than the enemy. there is NO counterplay other than BUILDING MORE SHIPS.

11.- There is honestly there is so much to fix before this is even close to a decent RTS, not even a good Homeworld game.

12.- NOT A LIVE SERVICE GAME. WRONG FRANCHISE, WRONG DEVICE, WRONG EVERYTHING. Get the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile ideology out of the PC version of the game. This will miserably FAIL to be a live service game. Do DLCs, and thats it.

Go play against better people.

But yeah, sure the AI is pretty much pointless.

Multiplayer? PvP? People? Ew.

Always online requirement and Denuvo kiilled any chance for a purchase from me.

**hacks your game, hooks up chatGPT to it, teaches it to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you like a human while using 0ms micro and macro**

I know you feel this Shepard.

Eh, entirely different game. Nebulous to Homeworld is like Men of War to Company of Heroes. On the surface they seem pretty similar but entirely different games designed for entirely different crowds lol. Your average HW enjoyer wouldn't even beat the tutorial in Nebulous.

Nebulous is a great game, just an entirely different beast.

That is also a very true statement.

Its like The Expense fights in the slow zone to be precise. Its a gameplay decision, but one of the biggest downsides I heard regarding Nebulous
