Cinematic from Homeworld, the only RTS worth playing.

I wouldn't say its the only one, but it's certainly the best. Shame about the sequel

Isn't that the Salvage Corvette simulator?

Those ships ruined the combat aspect of the game, in my opinion.

You know you can just opt not to use them. Consider them like the dark souls "negate death rings", optional easymode

Yeah, but I still think it's bad game design to include units that capture enemies in this way, particularly in a game like Homeworld which is about efficient use of resources/fleet preservation.

Salvage Corvettes are fiddly (ie, not fun), but incredibly effective - they weaken the enemy and strengthen you. Plus they discourage you from doing something fun: blowing up big enemy ships. Instead, every blown up ship is followed with the remorseful though "drat, I could have captured that one". It ends up being a game about how well you can capture ships/protect and mircomanage your Salvage Corvettes. And it makes your fleet consist heavily of enemy ships, which ruins the nice aesthetic of having two very differently-designed forces facing off against each other.

You could just not use it, but unfortunately for me the temptation is far too great. Smarter would have been not to include it in the first place.

I tried using one on the OPs posting so I could use it to crush his own AIDS riddled sperg brain but the game kept saying "nothing to salvage"

Shadow the Hedgehog, the sonic game where you get a loving GUN and shoot the president, lol.

It's not a bad feature because you have sperg disease and can't control yourself

I suppose if the Shotgun in Doom did twice the damage it does and increased your max health by 2% every time you killed something with it (but they made it less fun to use - maybe made it sound like a silenced pistol or something), you'd stop using it?

I found using Salvage Corvettes easier than destroying enemy ships since they disabled it as soon as enough of them attached to the craft, and once they recovered a ship you could re-use them. I had a giant fleet of salvage corvettes that would sweep in and steal whole enemy fleets (while a small team of fighters/other ships kept the enemy distracted). It netted great rewards, to the extent where it made the endgame a cakewalk... and it made the whole game a lot less fun as a result.

It might not be the case in multiplayer, but in single player it felt like really bad balancing.
