I like the fact there was one named after the carrier ifrit nabal. (For the unaware the ifrit nabal was a heavy carrier on kharak that lead operation skaal brii. The failed first expedition to the kahr-toba.

[@Shamai36]

wow i didint know that !

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

The carrier also was named after Ifriit Naabal, the Kiith-Sa (kiith/clan leader) that ended the Heresy Wars and reformed the Daiamid. The Heresy Wars were a religious conflict that ravaged Kharak for 300 years, until the Naabali and their advanced tech turned both the Gaalsien and Siidim armies into gruyère cheese in a single decade (The religious kiithid had swords and spears, the Naabali had vehicles and rifles)

[@Corusame]

I waited so long for a true Homeworld sequel. The amount of lore potential squandered in HW3 as well the substandard gameplay itself.

it's incapable of basic tactical positioning as well for the moment so you know

[@PraetorPaktu]

[@Mastari]

Fantastic idea

[@owenhsia5052]

The problem is not about the philosophy of sword, shield, and hammer, it's about the fact that bad AI and pathfinding break battlecruisers, they drift in battle like frigates, unable to maintain formation, and their ion beam turrets often get blocked by their own hulls, the best I can do is to set them in aggressive stance, babysitting them now and then, and hope they would shoot something in range, in the later patch of remastered homeworld 2, even hiigaran Veneration class battlecruisers would tilt as needed to bring both ion cannons to bear on a single target, a hundred years later, the supposed improved third generation hiigaran Gal'Geth Class battlecruisers can't even shoot straight, let along on my chosen target. No wonder why the Daiamid named these battlecruisers after the largest super volcano on hiigara, because they have no idea when and how the super volcano will erupt.

[@Dracobyte]

[@Bogdan221192]

I just realised. If this time (Homeworld 3) we started at peak technological height possible, why we still limited to fighters/frigates for so long during campaign. Shouldn't we be capable to spew out batlecruisers since second mission?

[@DeadMech1]

The production module you eventually receive just came out of construction and needed to go through shake down and final modifications. The original plan wasn't to throw the new mothership directly into combat. That was necessitated by the sudden resurgence of attacks of the enemy after a period of dormancy. Under more ideal circumstances the mothership and her crew would have had time bring all the production lines up to speed, go through training exercises and build up a fleet in friendly territory before heading out to investigate. Also it's a game. Introducing new units mission by mission is staple of the genre. Reducing complexity in the early game and slowly ramping it up over time.

[@riesstiu2khunning]

Severely undergunned for a ship of its size and a downgrade from the Veneration and Hiigara IV class from HW2 in terms of armament, layout, and some capabilities.

[@MrCoolguy425]

what? The HW2 Hiigaran battlecruiser was a horrible design. Its got so much empty deck space that it makes the Naypyidaw highway look like its got a traffic jam 24/7. The Vaygr battlecruiser at least has a spinal gun which presumably takes up a lot of the internal volume, the Hiigarans just decided to grab a torpedo frigate and take a massive industrial roller, flatten the ship, slap the bare minimum of guns in a line, then call it a day. Its embarrassing that this HW3 design actually OUTGUNS the older HW2 design. I mean a ship that is nearly 3x the size, has only 4 gun mounts and 4 pulse laser turrets, vs 4 gun mounts, 4 secondary guns (in two turrets) and torpedo tubes on the smaller HW3 design? My favorite design however is the HW1 kushan heavy cruiser, its just so packed with firepower in such a small space that it makes the larger HW2 battlecruiser like an oversized kids toy, and the HW3 battlecruiser like it needs to go to the gym and work off a few pounds.

[@riesstiu2khunning]

@@MrCoolguy425 I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here. The HW2 Veneration's design is certainly not optimal, due to having its ion cannon turrets so far in the rear, it loses a lot of its range advantage, while initiating combat head on. But when referring to the "deck emptiness," consider the space required for fighter squadrons, which the HW1 Avatar couldn't carry. On top of that, each turret on the hull has powergrid needs of its own. Unlike HW3's BC, the ion cannons of the Veneration actually pack a punch, and so, must draw a lot of power from its reactor. With internals sacrificed for a hangar bay, there may be little energy left for running any more weaponry. And I must agree that including a hangar is sensible given the political realities. It's better to field a BC with a strike squadron and frigate escort, than one with the addition of a carrier. On a side note, HW3 BC can't orient its ion cannons to allow it firing both at a single frigate, whlie the Khar-Sajuuk Mothership has "mobile" ion cannon turrets, running across its hull. There's no reason the BC couldn't have an arched structure to allow the cannons to move along it. Someone screwed up big time.

[@redactedrider7606]

@@MrCoolguy425 Bro stop copy and pasting the same damn comment. This design SHOULD out gun the last..but it can even fire both its main guns at the same time...

[@elonwhatever]

The Gal'Geth Class is a travesty of nonsensical design. Who decided to a have it's dorsal ion cannon mounted in a recessed position behind a regular cannon deserves to be spaced. The weapon has no proper clearance front, has no clearance in a 360 degree radius to shoot at targets on the same plane or below itself, so can realistically only shoot "higher" on the dorsal plane, but even then it's arc of vertical motion is limited to 45ish degrees, meaning it can't shoot straight up. So it is severely limited in fire arcs. It also cannot fire both ventral and dorsal ion cannons at the same target meaning it will always do at most half of it damage at any given time. For having about 4-5 times the displacement of a destroyer, it gain very little. Firepower increase is limited as described above, it has no flexible hardpoints to build modules as the mission profile demands, no option to build a fire control system that can be used in tandem with its armaments, no cloaking generator, no advanced sensor suite and most egregious it's has no options to build it's own hyperspace field projector to take itself and a fleet with it, meaning it can't even move its own taskforce around. In every conceivable way it is a downgrade of Veneration Class which had move firepower, more staying power and much more flexibility. The designer of the Gal'Geth (both in lore and in game) needs a lot of schooling about why ships designs work and why they don't.

I am a massive fan of the Homeworld series! Grew up with the games, have a copy of cataclysm sitting covered in dust somewhere, even built the paper starships. It is a little disappointing to see how in HW3 the battlecruiser kinda suffers from a lack of.. shock n awe so to speak. Let me explain: a ship that big only has 2 ion cannons and 2 mass driver batteries? I know the older games had limitations, but mods showed the potential of the game and engine. In HW3, you'd expect a battle cruiser to be loaded to the gills with weapons... Instead its kinda more of the same... A shame really.

[@henrycooper3431]

Homeworld 2 battlecruiser is also alot more well designed tbh, you have hangar for fighters to act as defense for the back or as an additional attack force to disable enemy ships, meanwhile the 2 ion cannons can fire foward or sides without problems and the 4 kinetic cannons are deadly against both strikecrafts and small vessels or as the finishing attack against crippled larger ships. Meanwhile this one is just badly strapped together to the point they have no pdcs and their cannons are mainly in the ventral side (its 4 but 3 are ventral so only 1 to cover dorsal)

You have your DESTOYER hence the name to destroy stuff and you have your ions for close biggies and rails for outside snipes and strike craft for swarms. It's not useless but clearly by the comments most people understand class roles. Look at any history of real life and any fantasy/sci fi settings with navy it's standard.

@@rprlunn93 Yes, and if you look at battlecruisers from real life they had two arcs in which they could bare their full might towards, then a front arc where most of its might could be brought, and then rear for the least. You're thinking of the fantasy ideal of a dreadnought, but the real world dreadnought was also a monster to fight and could bare all at one on side arcs, and large amounts on the others. The idea of the dreadnought literally changed the process and the idea of ship to ship combat, where you just need one to gain dominance in an area. In game they work kind of like you describe but their ai is still trash if you have them on anything that isn't defensive, and even then it is a waste of resources to produce versus just capturing more enemy ship. If this thing was a capital class ship then you should get something like the imperial star destroyer, where its main weakness being small bombers.

[@sebsunda]

Got to be honest... I would have preferred a smaller gap for the engineering bay and have their mass driver turrets on the triangular sides... Seem like a waste of firing arc to me... But that just me.

Cool.

No subtitles?

[@themadatheist1976]

About 7mins in..... No way that top, front turret would shoot the raised hull, but they did....... 1st time I saw the turret, I thought it was only be fired forward, give not. duh

[@Jesther01]

I wonder what are you doing that you did not think of covering EvE online yet

[@deathincluded3706]

The game might be ok, but the story is *Spoilers * * * * * * * * * * * * virtually three karens fighting for galactic domination, where the bad Karen blows up planets with billions of people cause shes lonely

Could you please do a video on UNIT from Doctor Who.

Gal'Geth Class - Blah,Blah,Blah... Not only is this an unsuccessful copy/paste of the Battlecruiser from HW2, 6:53 - I wonder which silly put its top turret in the recess, thanks to which now ship shoots through his hull body. Probably the same person put vertical structures (the left side of the ship) in the line of fire this ship. Putting the ship's structures to the line of your own fire, is at least not logical. Unfortunately, the whole Homeworld 3 looks like it was made by feeble-mindeds. Instead of coming up with some new "Gal'geth" Classes, game developers need to include their brains in their work. In the game Homeworld there has always been a capital ships class, the game does not need new classes, the game needs clever elaboration of its details.

The game is an epic shame, Battlecruiser is no exception

[@Dragoncrusher]

combat 10/10 story 0/10 the design is amazing... shame the game story is trash... with the big nose but for my preference, i like the vygar battlecruiser

[@catisbetterthandog4688]

Such a cool video, such a cool ship, sucks Homeworld 3 is not a good game

I wonder if Homeworld 3 could be redeem from the curse of Sweatbaby Inc

[@apok1980]

I haven’t gotten the game yet. Maybe this weekend. Does this mean they got rid of the carrier ship? Because they mentioned this thing can house corvettes. Probably not, but curious.

[@henrycooper3431]

They still have carriers

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

a sad day for me wont buy it because of how hw3 fails the 2 core areas its first game excelled , 1 story consistency , 2 gameplay felt like commanding a FLEET they fail 1. due to ''chosen one of many aint new'' + a massive plothole they nourished ever since they ignored core stated facts of hw1 to make the cores 'special' they fail 2. due to how the gamplay turned from 'stratigic goal stated' to the tired old ''now enjoy the flashing lights and epic noises and follow the RAIL ROAD SQUAD command size crap and feel 'mighty' :( only way i buy this is when its 90% discount and drm free on g.o.g , rad video though

The ion weapons (which are actually mostly useless in the game) or not even positionned properly to be fired... this game overrall is bad guys, those videos are just commercials for it, trust me buy homeworld remastered, but not homeworld 3 it is a really bad game

[@thehumus8688]

Badly design, Arc of fire on top turret especialy HW2 design is much better - not to mention it look less imposing, and smol

[@riesstiu2khunning]

This thing would lose a 1v1 mock battle against the HW2 Battlecruiser. It would be unable to concentrate fire on such a thin profile due to its widely place turrets.

they ruin the saga. dont buy it
