what is it?

Maximilian · 03-10-1999 2:41am

eh. C&C in space, maybe? Only much better.
Epic battles with epic music. Cool graphics.
Words can't describe. Download the demo.
Sheesh. I should be in bed. Except I know if I can get my 4 ion cannon frigates close to that carrier its all over for them.

Brilliant game, just get it!

Have you tried multiplayer yet?
Sometimes I just sit back and watch the game. Its like a film sometimes.

if any of you liked elite then you should
play X the final frontier. its so good.

also. for what looks like the ultimate
multiplayer space rts check out mankind...
what ultima online did to rpgs, this will
do to space rts.

So the game will be made up of 50% whiners crying because no one will play by thier rules based on typical fantasy, and the other 50% getting screwed by the game company because they are too good at playing evil?

Ohh Hobbes your so bitter !

On the other hand the new changes they are putting in are a step in the right direction, except for the trash tickets and house changes.

Of course everyone was screaming for them for over a year.

Oh wait we talking about homeworld on this thread?

The game is brill' but single player is a bit sh!tty I played through one side first only to find the game is exactly the same no matter what side you choose just the models are different! Gah !

Maximilian · 06-10-1999 8:57am

Yeah. I still love it though

Monty - the one and only · 07-10-1999 12:37pm

It's more like TA or WarZone 2100 in space!

Try the heavy cruisers, 4 of them will take out a mother ship no matter what defense's are there.

Soon you will call me MASTER

My current fav is about 20-30 attack bombers with about the same number of cloaked fighters set to guard the bombers. close in with evasive tactics, switch to agressive, blow **** out of cruiser, evasive and off to the next sucker. It is a thing of beauty, this game.

Hobbes · 19-10-1999 7:00pm

Just got the game

Excellent. Very impressed with it.

The 3D controls are a lot easier then I expected, and I like how you hear the fighter pilots chatting with each other.

Monty - the one and only · 20-10-1999 4:58pm

Of course I'd have ample fighter defense to take out such a threat, Set the cruiser's to circle formation, and aggressive tactics and boom there goes another mothership. My usual contingant would be:

4 heavy cruisers
2 carriers
6 destroyers
7 assault Frigates
7 Ion Frigates
A sh!t load of fighters
2-10 cloak genorators
35 multigun corvets

And sometimes my mothership

Good look to you finding a defense against that! (the computer can't even on hard)

Soon you will call me MASTER
