Soon-to-be-released newest version of XCom's Long War mod looks real good:



You can also enable manual selection of soldiers' class. Gonna build an XCom with nothing but Nigerian nightmare shotgun squads.

Bad news, everyone. They included the fleet scaling from Homeworld 2, so the computer will always produce a bigger fleet than yours.

Trip report so far: game is very pretty and what I expected in terms of being a clone with better graphics. That means that some of the old tricks you could use work including editing your persistent.lua file. Want to gently caress around with a large number of RUs or trick out your fleet with extra Progenitor Dreadnoughts? You can still do it exactly like you could in the original. Just keep in mind the NPC fleet will scale to match.

Tab a couple times to turn that off. Backspace a few times to turn off UI. Actually managed to have several MP games in a row without crashing. I know what I'm doing with my weekend.

I really really like not having to run the old low res Homeworld 1... But the AI matching your fleets has got to loving go. Especially since on the second mission they kept flying in from off screen, not the actual carrier. I also don't think it's balanced very well, because 1 light corvette and ~7 interceptors with some salvagers would beat that mission with almost no losses, but in the remake I was having to scramble to produce more and more things.

Gearbox didn't gently caress up anything. They inherited Relic's game warts and all. Fixed some of it up, and left other parts alone. The AI issue is a legacy thing.

Its an issue from Homeworld 2 they built in to the original, that didn't have it at any point prior to this.

They still have a ways to go in terms of content, but it is a fun game. I'm taking a break right now- got burned out after a few months of play.

Homeworld chat: in the ghost ship mission, don't even bother sending your own frigates or destroyers against the enemy, they'll just get smoked. Build assloads of bombers and poo poo, use them to lure away the ghost ship's screen of frigates, then loop back around and pound the poo poo out of it with your strike craft until it's disabled. Disabling the ghost ship gives you control of every enemy ship not destroyed. If you don't kill any of the other ships, you get all those frigates plus the missile destroyer. Having 50 frigates and capitals is metal as gently caress. :black101:
