Homeworld - Captain Elson

[reichfuhrer1942]

Classic!

[darthvaderman76]

hey did you no they use atmosphere derprivation devices in hw2

[amitakartok]

they tried to use it. Thaddis Sabbah was claimed to be an ADW manufacturing plant and the Planet Killers was armed with them. Each one could inflict brutal casualties if it hits Hiigara.

[airwolfman]

Just for the story-nut like me, hw2's Vaygr crusade attempted to use it, not the Taiidans :D.

But again and again, I have to praise the voice acting for cutscene.

[xKILLZONAx]

the Taiidani became known as the Vaygr.... :P

[Chirostenotes]

@xKILLZONAx No, the remnants of the Taiidani Empire were taken under the wing of the Vaygr. And while they remained a seperate species, many of the crew of the Vaygr Fleet were actually Taiidan and Vaygr (but the fleet, being Vaygr made, was just called by the name of its creators).

Meanwhile, the Taiidani Republic stayed the way they were, but were not mentioned in HW2 (and were probably besieged by the Vaygr Fleet before the events of HW2).

Ive heard that planet killers had some Huge Ion cannons, why didnt they use them?

[amitakartok]

I heard no such thing. the PK's only weapon is the ADW, plus an armor so tough that nothing short of advanced Progenitor tech can damage them.

[warmadkiller]

well, ive heard it somewhere so i dont know if it is true

[JerryBear712]

It seems that the planet killer was supposed to be one of the progenitor ships in hw1 but they cancelled it, but they brought it back in hw2 act as an planet killer, maybe they were supposed to shoot ion cannon instead of missiles, and the shape of that ships just really doesn't looks like a missile platform to me...

The design was supposed to be used for original Homeworld race "T-Mat", which was supposed to kick your ass in one of the missions just for the sake of showing how badass they are, then disappear on their way.

Apparently they later realized it wouldn't make a lot of sense, and also the model was too big, causing problems with the game's collision detection code, so in the end they dropped it.

[xKILLZONAx]

its in many mods though :D

[PLmrsparkle]

This, and first contact with Kadeshi, are my two favourite videos in Homeworld

[ertyqwer]

I especially love that effect they applied to the voices of Elson and Kadeshi ambassador. It just sounds so damn cool.

[Jpzinho007]

@ertyqwer And the Bentusi commander and the Devourer (The Beast) On Homeworld Cataclysm ;)

[ertyqwer]

@Jpzinho007 meh, Devourer's voice was just creepy/weird imo. Bentusi voice is pretty cool, but not nearly as badass.

[SgtSchnitzell]

Those are some huge statues! Probably super expensive to produce. I wouldn't mind having one of those in my front yard.

[moonblaster91]

I wouldn't mind having that entire palace!

[snowman555555]

Or perhaps the Taiidans or very very small people. :-)

[ArmySupa]

i bet them ships make cars look like people size hehe

[Abbassupreme]

This bloke's voice sounds awesome. :D

[russiankgbagent9]

ya dude, the final cutscene would be awesome

btw, what happened to that guy who had already posted all of the homeworld videos? I try to access his vids, and I get an error that says "video has been removed due to terms of use violation"

[KrimzonDude]

can u upload the hw final cutscene?
