I love seeing the Advent lose for once. Of course, that's what usually happens when they don't use their two biggest and cheapest advantages: overpowered Carriers and the "Battle Ball" crap with their Shield ships...
Stardock is awesome....These games are without DRM 's so you can rest assure you wont have DRM issues with your computer. If I buy games they are DRM free ones!!!
i love sins of a solar empire, the huge space combat and what not. Although i still long for the day where massive space fleets clashing, will also be coupled with dropping forces onto the planet and leading armies in urban or wide spread battles for the planet. Sorta like starwars empire at war....but better?
@farmdog45 either vasari or advent for me-advent has that awesome capital ship that can control an enemy ship except for capital ships. when is the new dlc coming out.cant wait.
@noobspartan117 I like the Unity Cap ship that colonizes better as well. With vassari or tec i will take a battle ship and use colony frigate but the impregnator mother ship or w.e its called has good abilities. Damage amplification and shield regen is amazing
yeah, is that rock crucial or was it just by coincidence that your fleet was stationed there? then again all additional sectors/systems are crucial now especially in mid-game...just asking no offense intended to you or your game style...nice vid btw
OMFG. why was that such a beautiful damn video. i cant wait until rebellion comes out. everyone who is already playing this game knows that rebellion is going to be the shit!
Wanted to grab this but damned visa gift card wouldn't work on their direct download. Had to settle for Sword of the Stars, though I do have X3 TC to tide me over..

@GalGamJD you should check out sword of the stars and sword of the stars 2 coming out 09/02/11 sword of the stars is better than sims and combines X4 and homeworld 2 style combat which is awesome!
ive just got this,just on the smallest game at the moment, great game glad i got it,is ther a way to increase the population cap? or does it stay just at 100,with half of that taken up by ur capital ship, so far all ive got is a capital ship and a few other ships not a massive fleet or anything, do you research more population or something?
quick question, when will a space rts involve the camera view of the capital ships bridge, I mean- come on! who doesn't want to be on the bridge of their largest warship and bellow those words, FIRE! :D and then watch the cannons blast right outside the front windows out into the opponents ships in the distance :D
@blaster915 there is one game ya can play where ya can fly massive capital ship but its more sim tape but ya can command fleets on it its called X3 Terran Conflict. Any ship in that game you can command or fly :D
@Xall1996 i dont understand, but the context its in, i can get the message :P and yes... i would be screaming that at my computer screen if i was on the bridge of my flagship capital :D
@blaster915 You can do that in Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta. The battle ends with the most spectacular spaceship explosion you've ever seen. It's just awesome.
@blaster915 I know dude.. im playing Eve ONline right now.. and i cant stand that u cant walk around my ship and watch it fill up with ore or something...
Actually the fact that I was looking around for that is what brought me here. Every space game fails so miserably at the bridge view option. Either having none or doing it so poorly it wasnt worth having.
@Sicj only one that i have seen is bridge commander, the game standalone is dated... but with a fantastic modding community you can stand up, walk around the ship etc... get the supermod with it :D. i know its not a true RTS but ya... its still badass.

Wow , you play a lil like me but ive usually taken one or 2 settlements just to get trade ships going aswell as a broadcast network , takes pressure off of main world :D
@pottersmarauders Yea,because if you are too busy trying to build up three planets when you could maximize your efforts on one,it yields much better results.
ive never played this game before, but why don't you just pull out a nuke and rape all of them? a friend told me the astroid in the middle is like africa because it is only used for resources, is this tru? sorry my english is bad, i am black
@Mdeil20 not true; like ships on water they have to be propelled forward by engines proportional to their size, otherwise they'd drift. That's why small submarines are really fast and cross oceans quickly while aircraft carriers are incredibly slow by comparison. In space it's virtually the same thing; without large rockets to correct course satellites and shuttles they'd drift off into nowhere.
lol at chenzo171. Anyways i love games like this but also i saw a star wars game that looked better and u can have ground battles and space battles like this for pc, which should i get?
@Masterdustin101 Well the game I believe you are talking about "Star Wars Empire at War" has an actual campaign where you fight as the empire and follow the original star wars old trilogy story but with the empire winning at the end or the rebels and follow the whole story like in the movie. The game also has an expansion when you fight as a organized crime syndicate in the middle of the star wars story. Sins of a solar empire is a really fun game but has no set campaign.
that was badass when the capital ship blew up in the middle of like 6 kodiak heavy cruisers ( 2:22 ). How come in the beta the voices sound cooler like inbound hostiles and hostile forces have arived sound like radio transmissions and a lot more realistic?
Physics in Homeworld 2, SotS and SotSE are unreal concerning movement. The ships have to brake in order to stop. In order to brake they have to turn, since their engines face in one direction. They don't turn. They just stop as if they were in atmosphere.
haven't really played this game before, just wondering if it's possible to remove all the grids from the view??? They really spoil the view and makes it look like a chessboard game! lol
Has anyone here mentioned Sword of the Stars? If Sword of the Stars had more detailed planet-building and better graphics (say, SOASE-style), it would be sooooo epic. I think I like SOTS combat more though, I really enjoy watching ships fall apart piece by piece. That was one of the few things SW: EAW got right.
I don't hate anything, I couldn't care less. Just annoying when fan boys lie about the strengths of a game to make an exaggerated comment to win 'thumbs up' from other fanboys.
If people said, look this game is awesome because of its strategic vastness etc... then that could be accurate. We could have a conversation.
But saying it has better tactical battles than a game that is nothing but a tactical battle engine is a LIE.
Its like saying GTA is a better 'driving' game than Gran tourismo.
Well I like both of the games, I went from HW series to sins of a solar empire. And I will not say that homeworld had better tactical battles than sins.
It's just.... different.
In both games you have to keep a eye on your ships, and keep on moving them constantly. And in sins there is a point in attacking from the sides and back too, each ship has guns attached for attacking different angles.
But this really only matters in Multiplayer, In single player the AI is too stupid in sins.
I have played both. And many others like Nexus etc....
Sins has a much less sophisticated tactical combat model than Homeworld or Nexsus. That's just a HARD fact.
What Sins does have is grand strategic scope, which is what makes it compelling.
But fanboys (look below) "OMG the tactical battles are better than game X,Y,Z"
Basically, if sins was restricted to essentially a battle around 1 asteroid colony you saying that's greater than homeworld? Greater than nexus? Utter nonsense.
I know, I'm agreeing, I'm not at all against you. Those people below are most likely just SP sins players and don't know the actual Great/Fun part of sins of a solar empire.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its stupid fanboys like you who keep bringing up homeworld. Its the most misleading comparision ever. Thank god I pirated this tacky game to try it rather than buy it on faboy rave reviews.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I find it a joke when people say this indy game has better or equal GFX to Homeworld 2. Just shows they don't know a thing. The phyics are terrible, the gfx of this game smack of DX7 at times.
What is good about the battles? Pressing 'spell' buttons and zerging 1 target at a time. How is that strategy as of 2007??
I got so excited as I love HW2, Moo2 and all this stuff when this game came out. OMG was I disappointed. I guess I best keep praying for IG3, HW3, MOO4 & SEVI.
Funny, I've played HW 1 & 2 extensively, and one of the frequently used strategies was ganging up on them more powerful ships first. In fact, it's a valid war strategy. In regards to the graphics, this game allows more ships in battle, renders a massive universe with multiple planets and looks damn good doing it. And how do you know the physics engine is terrible? How cam you even tell?
Physics are terrible because ships all have similar inertia irrespective of there visual size when manoeuvring.
ofc focused firing is a tactic. But ships in HW all had different physics and firing arcs as well as un-uniform armor.
Notice how ion firgates had like 50% HP when hit from behind? Notice the firing arc of the interceptor was nothing like that of the multi gun corvette?
These things meant there is actual tactics beyond "spell" buttons and focused fire.
Funny, I recollect ships bumping into each other and going through one another whilst playing HW quite often. Fighters could also turn on a dime. Ships have firing arcs in Sins as well, it just doesn't model rear-damage; which most people didn't care about anyway. Focus fire was the recommended strategy. Furthermore, who has time to manage a z-axis in Sins? Particularly when you could be fighting 3 battles on several fronts? You think I have time to manage that on this scale? LOL!
Small fighters like Defenders could ofc turn on a dime. The point is in sins is not that they don't have firing arcs its all the firing arcs are the same.
Agreed You don't have time to use the Z axis, its a different game. Thats really my point. It pains me when I hear fanboys lie to people who have not played sins saying the combat is "better than homeworld"
Its like saying Battlefield 2 is a better flight simulator than Falcon 4. Not the case irrespective of which game you prefer.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
FIRST OFF NOOB There are legitimate issues with Sins but what you said makes no since and let me guess in HW2 the larger ships are slower? if this is correct the physic are wrong in it bigger engines = faster because space has no drag. secondly you cant have a GOOD game of this size and have un-uniform armor it would take too much cpu and lastly no good player focus fires because it takes up too much time when i can be doing more important things like moving another fleet or using abilities
Larger ships would be slower in space. Mass is always conserved in space it is weight that dsnt exist. Therefore a larger ship would take larger engines to move it, making it relatively slower. Therefore the physics in Homeworld are perfectly fine and if we're gonna be picking at physics, sound can't travel in space so lets face it, both games would be pretty boring if they followed physics to a tee.
Even more so is the fact that there is nothing to refract light off of in space... so basically you won't be able to see a laser beam being fired at other ships if you're going to follow physics to the T. enCODed3's comment was one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on youtube, and that really says a lot.
Bigger ships have bigger engines, so they would probably move at the same speed.
They have a cap on their turning speed however, because a longer ship has larger g-forces produced at the end when it turns, so it can only change direction so fast before the passenger's heads explode.
@CuppehCakeJay You say that as if you know how it would work when we have not sent anything bigger then life pod to the moon. The truth be told we are still learning so much about physics and space. We do not even have any type of space travel abilty beside jet engines. The idea of man are only theriose tell they have been proven. You want to argue over sci-fi.
@CuppehCakeJay Hell Maybe you so complan how fast the Deathstar moved in Star wars. Being about to track the million falcon in a few hours Star wars time. See how silly it is to make physic clams over sci-fi.
@CuppehCakeJay Ahh, that's not actually true. In space, there are no forces to slow you down. Once you reach a certain speed, you can stay at that speed forever. The difference is that the more mass a ship has, the less acceleration you get for the same amount of force. So a big ship and a small ship can go the same speed on the same engines, but the small ship will accelerate to that speed faster. The realistic difference between a big and small ship is in maneuverability, not their speed.
@CuppehCakeJay If you want to get technical; It would take larger ships longer to speed up, the only limiting factor in space is the speed of light. Acceleration of larger ships would take longer, but as they would be able to carry much more fuel they may, in fact, be able to reach higher speeds before they exhaust their supply, but in a short drag-race the smaller craft would steam past larger ones with ease.
@Nagneto : I read plenty of books actually, want a book report? Also well done and thank you for pointing out Star Wars in fantasy, I had always thought it was a real life doumentary, you have opened my eyes....What i originally wrote was an attempt at humour but clearly I have failed. Either way i still don't understand your reply that has been directed at me. Yes, Star Wars is fantasy but why are you telling me to read a book? It makes no sense and has very little to do with anything.
Larger ships wouldn't be slower, they would have slower acceleration. Just takes em longer to reach a given speed. But yea, completely realistic physics wouldn't make for the best game.
@CuppehCakeJay The ultimate determination of how fast a ship would travel in space is the amount of reaction mass it has. while it would reach it's maximum speed slower than a smaller ship, it's ultimate speed would be faster.
@ryancolemanstudios although there is gas in space, its quantity is minimum, so still there is no sound... we could almost say that 99% of space is vacuum. For example, in space if an astronaut knocks a shuttle from the outside, the guy that is inside can hear the knocking, but the guy from outside de shuttle can't hear it.
But anyway, playing a space game without sound would be pretty boring... And if this troubles you, just imagine that you have ears in every ship.
@championofgods So if interstellar gas is so little (not counting nebulas and whatnot), wouldn't sound actually be very, very muffled? Just chalk up the rest of the noise to audio amplifiers.
@CuppehCakeJay no wrong very wrong it would take longer to get to top speed but with out any friction a capital with a frigate engine would have the same top speed
@CuppehCakeJay also a larger ship in space could be moved by a tiny model rocket engine it would take a REALLY REALLY REALLY long time to get up to speed but with out any friction at all the top speed is completely depended on the engine not mass learn a little thing called physics dip
@CuppehCakeJay dude did you ever see the video (in youtube) that an austranaut, in the Moon, drops a feather and a hammer? Guess what they go at the same speed. this happens becuase isn't air/ atmosfer in the moon, meaning that doesn't exist inertia actuating on the objects. The same is true for empty space. 2 ships, with diferent mass, but with out inertia or the gravaty efect, the one with more engenies would be faster. :P
Its also nice that big battles are epic for real! :D :D :D

Mdeil20 1 year ago
@Mdeil20 not true; like ships on water they have to be propelled forward by engines proportional to their size, otherwise they'd drift. That's why small submarines are really fast and cross oceans quickly while aircraft carriers are incredibly slow by comparison. In space it's virtually the same thing; without large rockets to correct course satellites and shuttles they'd drift off into nowhere.

Masterdustin101 1 year ago
@Masterdustin101 Well the game I believe you are talking about "Star Wars Empire at War" has an actual campaign where you fight as the empire and follow the original star wars old trilogy story but with the empire winning at the end or the rebels and follow the whole story like in the movie. The game also has an expansion when you fight as a organized crime syndicate in the middle of the star wars story. Sins of a solar empire is a really fun game but has no set campaign.

butlerblimp 1 year ago
to sum up:
Physics in Homeworld 2, SotS and SotSE are unreal concerning movement. The ships have to brake in order to stop. In order to brake they have to turn, since their engines face in one direction. They don't turn. They just stop as if they were in atmosphere.

Has anyone here mentioned Sword of the Stars? If Sword of the Stars had more detailed planet-building and better graphics (say, SOASE-style), it would be sooooo epic.

I don't hate anything, I couldn't care less. Just annoying when fan boys lie about the strengths of a game to make an exaggerated comment to win 'thumbs up' from other fanboys.
If people said, look this game is awesome because of its strategic vastness etc... then that could be accurate. We could have a conversation.
But saying it has better tactical battles than a game that is nothing but a tactical battle engine is a LIE.
Its like saying GTA is a better 'driving' game than Gran tourismo.
CmdrTobs 2 years ago
Well I like both of the games, I went from HW series to sins of a solar empire. And I will not say that homeworld had better tactical battles than sins.
It's just.... different.
In both games you have to keep a eye on your ships, and keep on moving them constantly. And in sins there is a point in attacking from the sides and back too, each ship has guns attached for attacking different angles.
But this really only matters in Multiplayer, In single player the AI is too stupid in sins.
Shunmaha 2 years ago
I have played both. And many others like Nexus etc....
Sins has a much less sophisticated tactical combat model than Homeworld or Nexsus. That's just a HARD fact.
What Sins does have is grand strategic scope, which is what makes it compelling.
But fanboys (look below) "OMG the tactical battles are better than game X,Y,Z"
Basically, if sins was restricted to essentially a battle around 1 asteroid colony you saying that's greater than homeworld? Greater than nexus? Utter nonsense.

I find it a joke when people say this indy game has better or equal GFX to Homeworld 2. Just shows they don't know a thing. The phyics are terrible, the gfx of this game smack of DX7 at times.
What is good about the battles? Pressing 'spell' buttons and zerging 1 target at a time. How is that strategy as of 2007??
I got so excited as I love HW2, Moo2 and all this stuff when this game came out. OMG was I disappointed. I guess I best keep praying for IG3, HW3, MOO4 & SEVI.
CmdrTobs 2 years ago
Funny, I've played HW 1 & 2 extensively, and one of the frequently used strategies was ganging up on them more powerful ships first. In fact, it's a valid war strategy. In regards to the graphics, this game allows more ships in battle, renders a massive universe with multiple planets and looks damn good doing it. And how do you know the physics engine is terrible? How cam you even tell?
heflys20 2 years ago
Physics are terrible because ships all have similar inertia irrespective of there visual size when manoeuvring.
ofc focused firing is a tactic. But ships in HW all had different physics and firing arcs as well as un-uniform armor.
Notice how ion firgates had like 50% HP when hit from behind? Notice the firing arc of the interceptor was nothing like that of the multi gun corvette?
These things meant there is actual tactics beyond "spell" buttons and focused fire.
CmdrTobs 2 years ago
Funny, I recollect ships bumping into each other and going through one another whilst playing HW quite often. Fighters could also turn on a dime. Ships have firing arcs in Sins as well, it just doesn't model rear-damage; which most people didn't care about anyway. Focus fire was the recommended strategy. Furthermore, who has time to manage a z-axis in Sins? Particularly when you could be fighting 3 battles on several fronts? You think I have time to manage that on this scale? LOL!
heflys20 2 years ago
Small fighters like Defenders could ofc turn on a dime. The point is in sins is not that they don't have firing arcs its all the firing arcs are the same.
Agreed You don't have time to use the Z axis, its a different game. Thats really my point. It pains me when I hear fanboys lie to people who have not played sins saying the combat is "better than homeworld"
Its like saying Battlefield 2 is a better flight simulator than Falcon 4. Not the case irrespective of which game you prefer.

FIRST OFF NOOB There are legitimate issues with Sins but what you said makes no since and let me guess in HW2 the larger ships are slower? if this is correct the physic are wrong in it bigger engines = faster because space has no drag. secondly you cant have a GOOD game of this size and have un-uniform armor it would take too much cpu and lastly no good player focus fires because it takes up too much time when i can be doing more important things like moving another fleet or using abilities

@enCODed3
Larger ships would be slower in space. Mass is always conserved in space it is weight that dsnt exist. Therefore a larger ship would take larger engines to move it, making it relatively slower. Therefore the physics in Homeworld are perfectly fine and if we're gonna be picking at physics, sound can't travel in space so lets face it, both games would be pretty boring if they followed physics to a tee.
CuppehCakeJay 2 years ago 63

MoskaDubStep7 2 years ago
Even more so is the fact that there is nothing to refract light off of in space... so basically you won't be able to see a laser beam being fired at other ships if you're going to follow physics to the T. enCODed3's comment was one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on youtube, and that really says a lot.
ciyean 2 years ago
Bigger ships have bigger engines, so they would probably move at the same speed.
They have a cap on their turning speed however, because a longer ship has larger g-forces produced at the end when it turns, so it can only change direction so fast before the passenger's heads explode.

@CuppehCakeJay You say that as if you know how it would work when we have not sent anything bigger then life pod to the moon. The truth be told we are still learning so much about physics and space.

doomblackdragon 1 year ago
@CuppehCakeJay Ahh, that's not actually true. In space, there are no forces to slow you down. Once you reach a certain speed, you can stay at that speed forever. The difference is that the more mass a ship has, the less acceleration you get for the same amount of force. So a big ship and a small ship can go the same speed on the same engines, but the small ship will accelerate to that speed faster. The realistic difference between a big and small ship is in maneuverability, not their speed.

Razputin53 1 year ago
@CuppehCakeJay If you want to get technical; It would take larger ships longer to speed up, the only limiting factor in space is the speed of light. Acceleration of larger ships would take longer, but as they would be able to carry much more fuel they may, in fact, be able to reach higher speeds before they exhaust their supply, but in a short drag-race the smaller craft would steam past larger ones with ease.

@CuppehCakeJay The ultimate determination of how fast a ship would travel in space is the amount of reaction mass it has. while it would reach it's maximum speed slower than a smaller ship, it's ultimate speed would be faster.

ryancolemanstudios 1 year ago
@ryancolemanstudios although there is gas in space, its quantity is minimum, so still there is no sound... we could almost say that 99% of space is vacuum. For example, in space if an astronaut knocks a shuttle from the outside, the guy that is inside can hear the knocking, but the guy from outside de shuttle can't hear it.
But anyway, playing a space game without sound would be pretty boring... And if this troubles you, just imagine that you have ears in every ship.

@CuppehCakeJay no wrong very wrong it would take longer to get to top speed but with out any friction a capital with a frigate engine would have the same top speed

@CuppehCakeJay also a larger ship in space could be moved by a tiny model rocket engine it would take a REALLY REALLY REALLY long time to get up to speed but with out any friction at all the top speed is completely depended on the engine not mass learn a little thing called physics dip
enCODed3 1 year ago
@CuppehCakeJay dude did you ever see the video (in youtube) that an austranaut, in the Moon, drops a feather and a hammer? Guess what they go at the same speed. this happens becuase isn't air/ atmosfer in the moon, meaning that doesn't exist inertia actuating on the objects. The same is true for empty space. 2 ships, with diferent mass, but with out inertia or the gravaty efect, the one with more engenies would be faster. :P
