I say we should take the shattered horizon method for space sound. Have an advanced computer in your space suite create an simulation of everything around you and put in sounds to make it seam more realistic.
@sereda008 This is the conflict between being realistic and entertaining. Sure it is supposed to be no sound in space, but in terms of gameplay, noone wants to play a game with no sound.
@kanhf0514 I know that much, but would it not be better to invent a device on the ships which detects the slightest vibration around itself and recognizes the mas sound? Something like in the first splinter cell, where the player looked at a window and could hear people beside it. I was recently thinking about what I would do if I were creating homeworld, and this was an idea.
There is no sound in a vacum.It doesn't have a anything from which it can be produced, like you said on earth sounds medium is air,space doesn't have a source from which sound can travel much less created.
@sereda008 also your in a suit that has oxygen in it so prolly there for you will hear sounds from inside like if u get hit you'll hear it. or maybe someone besides u get hit you'll prolly hear in my point of view
@MrUssrparadox Yes, I have considered that, but it is too obvious to think long about. Perhaps the general sound of each spaceship is monitored, filtered to reduce any usual sound and transmitted to the main computer (the player's).
@sereda008 You know, I allways ponder about the movies and games with sound in the space. Currently there exists ways to "listen" the sun, or even distant black holes. They emit certain stuff, like X-ray and radio signals. We capture these and turn them into regular audio. If a civilizacion is so advanced to make a craft surely they could use devices which would capture the emitions produced by engines, weapons, and even explosions and turn them into regular sounds with speakers in the cockpit
@Galifron I know. But still, sound would be possible by detecting the vibration on the surfaces of the ships using special apparatus, as I have stated. No medium is necessary.
EXCELLENT music choice! Love that track. I hear that it was originally from the trailer of a cancelled babylon 5 based space combat simulator, but I haven't found the trailer containing it.
how do you speed up gameplay ? sick of waiting for the resourcer to do it's rounds. i know it can be done but can't remember what the key (s) for it where not played this game in a long time
@kanhf0514 i had the homeworld one when it came out and i accidentely found the speed up gameplay button, i now it existed coz i used it regular to speed up the harvester, ive never owned homeworld 2 so that's how i know the feature was in number 1
battlezone and halflife where my fav games wen i was a kid i would play all the time wen i was 6 - 9 but then i lost the games... but i dont understand why battlezone was soo good and fun i dont remember anything about it... and theres no gameplay of it on here
who actually mistakes the game homeworld for eve? HOW DO YOU GET THOSE FORMATIONS IN EVE XD anyway but still, homeworld is awsome, play it, and grab a handkerchief for the ending....and a fresh pair of pants just in case
@TheWapower Calm down, people have been constantly commenting me starting arguments for 3 months straight, I only said I don't see what's good, it doesn't mean I think it's shit...it just means I'm yet to experience this game.
@TheZombiePanda those people who start arguments are "Trolls" (Internet slang, I didn't make the word) and its best to just ignore them, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you do. Homeworld is a decent game, I have yet to play it but I've seen several gameplay videos and reviews I look forward to picking up a copy soon. This video doesn't really show much about the game at all.
Evidentemente no has jugado a este juego, si te gustaran los RTSs no dirias lo mismo XD... otro palurdo que seguro mira antes los graficos antes que la jugabilidad.
Your a dumb ass! Clearly you never went through the tutorial, owned a mouse with a scroll wheel, or read the instruction manual. Go back to super smash bors.
this game is awesome!!! I remember when I played this. Oh man. I miss this game. For being a 3D game at that time is brilliant. And It's so well made! the 3D room of the whole gaming world is HUUUUGE!!! this is one of those games there you truly is in space. I love this game 10/10!!! my cd broke some time ago. OMG I wish I could download it somewhere xD
starcraft is decent gameplay wise, but storywise homeworld kicked it's ass. At least until starcraft 2 comes out, because starcraft 1 online is fucking irritating, whoever can click 150 times a minute wins, it's fucking annoying.
oh guys....i was like 8 when i played a demo of this game on my dads pentium 200MMX, it was laggy as hell but man o man i wanted the game so much, best space rts game in the 90's imo :) too bad whoever didn't hear of it.
What I love so much about this game is how the space combat is actually 3D. There are so many space RTSs out there that completely forget the 3D aspect of space and it just annoys me. It also makes the game get old fast.
@StarongBahd What I love about this game so much is Frickin' Ion Beams, and fact that there is a mod that lets you take control of a selected ship via Keyboard and mouse.
I have played both. Solar empire has no 3D and it does not even have 2% of the strategic depth Homeworld had.
With homeworld you could walk in to a battle with 4 salvage corvettes and repair corvettes and win against a vastly superior fleet , just with clever micro management.
I've been going crazy latley, all these kids that come on here and have no idea what some of these games are. Don't get me wrong, im glad your finding them and getting enjoyment out of them as we did wehn we were younger, but it reminds me that im aging everytime i hear them say : whats Ghostbusters?? ARR how old am i ?
dude i can't tell if your joking or not. but in case your not joking, 1984 is when Ghostbusters came out. No offense at all though man, I think your talking about the video game, of which you would probobly be right. But most people who know what ghostbusters is, would not mention the game before the movie.
Honestly I find Homeworlds gameplay more attractive then EVE onlines, having played both games. Homeworld was probably the first strategy game to feature dimensional movement in space. I know that Computers more than tripled in power between the release of Homeworld and EVE online, and they are in fact different types of games.
I used to refer to the assault frigates as "Mike Tysons."

even though 1 month later here the answer:

in HW2 you can zoom in and zoom out, and all in all move like in any strategiy game, but in HW1 the camera is always fixed on the unit you've selected
i hated that and stopped playing it after 20 minutes
it might be a good game, but this is a flaw i just can't lice with
