Lets Play... Homeworld Remastered - Ep 1 - Back In Command

[@M1ggsy]

I find it amusing that the salvagers are essentially saying "I'm taking this."

[@dreck8202]

The salvagers be like "CRAP we cant get the carrier, ill take a ship as a souvineir."

[@dontmindme.justaguy]

I'm going to build an army of salvage drones/ships, what ever their names are, and send them against an enemy fleet with the sound mine, mine, mine from finding Nemo playing. It shall be glorious.

Thanks for posting this video. I used to play this game for hours while in college with my roommates. This game was certainly light years ahead of its time. This game came out in the late 90s. I still have all the homeworld game series, cataclysm, and homeworld 2 game CDs. Glad they remade this again.

Salvage ships for the win

[@CaptainShack]

haha I know right? :D

[@JackRalp96]

TheXPGamers I'm not sure about the salvage ships I'm fairly sure they can capture a carrier as I captured an enemy destroyer a few missions in with 4 salvage ships :l ??

[@TylerKerman]

+TheXPGamers you should try playing the game using only salvage ships against large ships. try not destroying anything you can capture. that would be interesting

[@andromeda54612]

Jebcubed also impossible I mean they are pretty weak ships and you would have to build like hundreds of them to beat one mission

[@Kth77]

Marine Frigates are a homeworld 2 unit, the only capture capable unit for the Hiigarans (Vaygre has the Infiltrator Frigate), the salvage Corvette is the Kushan and Taiidan's only capture capable vehicles. The Salvage corvette can capture most any ship, but the Tyranic raider carrier is one of the few exceptions. The research system doesn't fully advance without the pre-requisites, you need to do the corvette drive 'repair corvette' research to unlock the light corvette research and heavy corvette research.

[@sarge1044]

A good tip for using salvaging corvette, they first generate threat when you target the enemy ship, so most of the time you can just move them really close and then capture everything that moves :) fighters/corvette - 1 salvage corvette frigets/resource collectors - 2 salvage corvettes destroyers - 4 salvage corvettes carriers/heavy destroyers - 6 salvage corvettes. You auto salvage all resources at the end of missions, no need to worry about that when jumping. I'm glad to see you posting new videos! It's fun to watch the differences between you and MasterofRoflness on these Home-world remastered play through.

[@piotrjostayev9440]

I'm watching this series for a second time because, A: Its just a great game played by my favorite KZbinr B: Shack's voice has this chill ass quality to it.

Great way to spend an hour of my life that i wont get back... ON TO THE NEXT EPISODE

[@fuzzballfoxonionring6729]

You can actually capture a carrier with seven salvage corvettes. But you can't capture the Turanic Raider carriers at any point in the game because of scripting. Later on, stealing ships is going to become practically game-breaking. As an aside, those Turanic corvettes are pretty goddamn amazing. The four missile corvettes lasted me almost the entire game.

[@GentalmanLout]

As soon as the music kicks in as you see the mothership for the first time. Goose bumps.

[@H4mmerfall]

With the old Homeworld games remastered, and the awesome new Deserts of Kharak, my faith in gaming is restored.

They gave you 750 RU at the start, which was used up to make the Research Ship. One of your objectives was to mine resources with the Collector, dumdum.

[@ChrisVenus]

Yeah. At the same time they said "Make a research ship.//Harvest asteroids." I think you were too impatient to pay attention to your instructions. You did not break the tutorial, you ignored it. ;-)

[@tmiicon2925]

lol watching this on my tv and literally switched device to visit comments and be satisfied that someone corrected this..4yrs ago..lol it was only the second thing the objectives officer asked him to do! XD I could not go on watching him get more and more puzzled about the tutorial without making sure that someone said exactly what you said to him including the reason he missed it xD i was going totally neurotic about it and feared he would continue to bring it up throughout the video xD which I suppose he just might xD'' lmao! okay back to the big screen..im good now, psychosis averted.thank you.

[@fredosinsemilla3896]

This is a huge OMG for me. I played this game 22 years ago and I still remember how to play it better than this guy.

[@williambarnes5023]

My biggest gripe about Homeworld is that capturing a ship, one of the most important mechanics in the game, doesn't recolor the ship in your colors, so you can't tell whose side it's on at a glance without selecting or hovering it.

[@matsuhikotakagawa8060]

No matter how many watch these videos and played the game numerous times I've lost count, I just couldn't get bored of it...

[@enochq7747]

just started watching this after his deserts of kharak playing

[@TheDefiantPirate]

+Stalker The Stalker I am doing the same thing...and going from that LP to this one You get the feeling of how well Deserts of Kharak ties into the story demonstrating how well that game was put together Seriously I watch the intro cinematic for HW1 "100 years ago a Satellite detected an objected in the sands of the desert...An Expedition was sent..." it invokes clips of the Deserts of Kharak LP in my mind thats how perfectly Blackbird managed to fit Deserts into the homeworld Lore for me XD

[@piotrjostayev9440]

+Kirt “TheDefiantPirate” Gartner I know right? They kept a ton of the artwork from this game in deserts of kharak. The baserunner, the wreck site, even the satellite is the same.

[@xWatexx]

Man, I remember seeing this when it was new. I was 10 years old. I thought this was the coolest thing ever. I got the game when I could finally afford to buy it myself a couple years ago. Good times man, good times.

[@Lastlight89]

lol, your all like. Oh no they should give me corvette research.... oh but I'm not going to research the basic corvette drive so I can never get the light corvette or the heavy corvette. But seriously, keep up the play through. i'm really enjoying it.

[@KillerOrca]

So, just for clarification. This is the first homeworld game, which makes Deserts of Kharak a prequel? So it was good I watched Deserts first.

[@TrueSTARbornFall]

+Orcaman15 Actually it was bad or good you watched deserts first. Spoilers. '~'

[@KillerOrca]

PyreStarite Crap.

[@KingThrillgore]

Correct. It's DoK, 1, Cata*, and 2. *Cataclysm/Emergence is not "necessarily" considered canonical by either Relic or Gearbox.

[@edragon4435]

That carrier in the second mission is a special case and is considered a mothership, which is why you couldn't capture it. You can use salvage corvettes to capture everything else in the game though including carriers. (Though captured carriers can't build ships, only carriers you build yourself can) Be sure to keep an eye out for destroyers (requires 4 SC's) and heavy cruisers (6 SC's same for carriers). Also, be sure to always do your research. You were supposed to have unlocked heavy corvettes by the end of that 2nd mission where you were complaining about not having them. Though in a way it benefitted you. I built a bunch of corvettes and fighters in that mission so when I started the 3rd mission there were SEVEN assault frigates instead of your two...Remarkably I still managed to save 5 cryo trays with some clever thinking and luck.

[@katarjin]

I hate that they added mission scaling in 1 lost three trays before i could do anything.

[@edragon4435]

katarjin I didn't even know it had scaling until several missions after when I read people talking about missions. As I said though I got lucky. I used 2 salvage corvettes to start pulling 2 cryo trays away and the majority of the frigates chased after them. So while my corvette armada blasted away at them my remaining salvage ships scooped up the 2 frigates that stayed put. By the time the frigates caught up with the cryo trays the first one was already loading and by then my corvettes were doing work. The 2nd tray never made it but the frigates never made it back to attack the remaining trays. After that mission I pretty much just maxed my salvage corvette allotment. My fleet is now bloated with stolen destroyers and heavy cruisers. I actually never got to build my own HC because I had more than double the max amount of capital ships I'm allowed. Fleet scaling was actually a major benefit in a later mission with the unknown alien ship. My frigate count went from 19 to 45 by the end.

[@katarjin]

Same here I try and salvage as much as I can i have 3 HC, 8 Dessy 4 missle Dessy, and 6 multi beam and I am on the Headshot asteroid I was going to steal all the Ion frigs on Bridge of sighs but too much work. (I still hate the Junkyard mission too many autoguns.)

[@edragon4435]

katarjin Ooo, man. I just got to the junkyard mission. (Been taking this nice and slow to fully absorb the atmosphere, I could listen to the music for hours...Wish the soundtrack was included.) Impressive work on the Destroyer captures. I haven't even seen a multi beam Des yet but I've pretty much ignored the missile ones, the one I got on the alien ship mission seems to hit it's wingmen as much as the enemy...the Taiidan are idiots for designing a missile ship that shoots SIDEWAYS. I don't think I've missed a HC yet, though I'm a little sad I can't build one of my own without massively reducing my fleet. Oh well. Maybe the junkyard will clear some space for me...though that'd be a poor consolation prize for losing half my fleet... I am a little ticked already about the Junkyard though...I captured all of the 'elite' frigates in the previous mission which had insane stats, (The ion frigate did more damage than a destroyer!) only to find that they turned into normal frigates upon entering the junkyard...lame.

[@katarjin]

That made me mad to made some good RUs off of them though. (These are teh Multi beams shipyards.relicnews.com/kadesh/multibeam_frigate.htm )

Hey Shack there is a way to guard ships the Hot key is G but there is a button if you select a ship and click the shield in the bottom right. Since the Kushan have salvage corvettes just *SALVAGE EVERYTHING* if you can, I don't even bother building resource collectors i only built a 2nd one in mission 2 but i salvaged the rest :P Also you can not salvage the Turanic raiders carrier since its classed as a mother ship. remember to *research* new ships!

[@TheTechnicalNirl]

You're being very brave, but I'd strongly recommend you harvest all the resources available before you jump. Very boring, I know, but that's how things are. Also, don't stop trying to capture big enemy ships. The early missions don't allow you to capture certain types, but it doesn't mean you can't do it later on. Check your controls settings for ships' special actions. "G" is for guarding.

[@whitewolf1477]

you dont have to harvest all the resources, they auto harvest when u go into hyperspace

I keep noticing this game from start to end, and just did for Battlestar Galactica Deadlock as well. Wonder if something like early part of Homeworld would work for lost generation of humans after Battlestar's first cylon war. (From Deadlock's Anabasis DLC/ if colonial fleet missed survivors from then.)

Well, I'm just finished watching your playthrough with Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. And, you know because it's a prequel (and I never played with the original HW, or the HW 2), I started to think, hum that would be pretty awesome if Shack going to play with the next game to continue this epic journey. And here I am, a little late but thrilled to know what happens with the survivors of Kharak. I mean 600k people (Thanks to our Captain, now it's just 500k lol We love you Shack, it was just bad timing we know), so not even 1 million? And after I just saw the prequel, those big desert dunes and all those different clans just grew on me. And to see the whole planet destroyed, it was a little shocking for me, I was the only one who freak out. Not even the crew was shocked, I mean c'mon. I know this not your home planet, but many generations grew up on that place. I was waiting for a heartbreaking monologue from the Mothership's crew, or from the Captain. But oh well, let's see what happenes next, can't wait to finish this walkthrough too.

Game is addiction, game is entertainment, game is relax, game is immersion, but could one day claim that game is art? The answer could be difficult for a large majority, but I think for those who knew, played and immersed in the magnificent story of "Homeworld", the answer would be easy. Yes !!!, Homeworld is simply art in its purest state !: perfect gameplay, visually stunning, engaging music and especially a magnificent story! What else could we want? hummm ... maybe "James Cameron," the great movie magician, buy the right to bring the series to the movies and show the world something that could be comparable to "Star Wars." Am I dreaming loudly?
