Re: Thread for all the shit they fucked up in Homeworld Remastered by WITTGENSTEIN 02/26/2015, 8:24am PST MIssile Destroyers got nerfed hard. They no longer chew up fighters and bombers mercilessly. In fact it seems like they were fairly crappy against my mass wave of bombers on the ghost ship, though they also reduced the number of ships surrounding the ghost ship. They may still be effective against corvettes. Drone Frigates are actually useful (HOLY SHIT) and will chew up the fightercraft in Garden of Kadesh easily. Destroyers will maul a frigate in about 5 seconds. A Heavy Cruiser will maul 4 destroyers + frigate support with just barely any hull remaining. Multi-Beam Frigates seem like they got nerfed bigtime. Their weapons will shut off, meaning they have about enough strength to almost blow up a frigate but not quite. Salvaging no longer gives you the related tech for that ship. BOOOOOO! Progression in corvettes is pretty quick. You go from light corvettes to heavy corvettes by the 2nd mission so there's absolutely no point in making a single light corvette. Bentusi will sell you shit for really cheap. Like 400-500 RU's. Capital shipwrecks will give you about 1000-2000 RU's. Resources in general seem more lax. Quickdocking at the end of a mission will suck up all the resources in a mission. Except for the Garden of Kadesh, I guess because it's supposed to be a "GTFO" type thing.

It won't attract many new fans. by serial malcontent 03/04/2015, 8:16am PST             Good god, are you guys all that old now? by WITTGENSTEIN 03/04/2015, 10:51am PST     Just hit GOG. Did they fix the fuckups with patches? NT by Mischief Maker 06/07/2016, 6:12am PDT         No. The problem is HW1 was ported to the HW2 engine. So instead of physics by based attacks you get die rolls. 06/07/2016, 8:03pm PDT             Happily, they included the originals with support for new OSes. I think. by Welcome to Omsk 06/07/2016, 11:00pm PDT                 Well nevermind, Battlezone just hit GOG and that's the superor game! NT by Mischief Maker 06/08/2016, 6:22am PDT
