Right. I'm going to shed my name now, and I still have enough pictures to fill some four or five threads, plus drawfag capability. What do we have left to talk about?

>>3671425

>The God-Empress

Nah. I'm thinking more along the lines of a fanatic, super strict religion that has a certain set of written laws about it.

Gonna derail by posting a moment of inspiration I had a few minutes ago:
Imagine a Myst clone done to expostulate on the day of the discovery of the stone. It's kind of like Dig too but in real time instead of point/click, because you're part of the search team that made physical contact with the ship. You don't just find the stone, you have to explore the derelict ship and find your way through the interior- solve puzzles whether it's decrypting old security systems or using power tools to cut through bulkheads, etc etc.
Just kind of thought about it because I watched the beginning cutscene on Youtube and thought about how awesome it would be to find that stone at the end of a kind of Myst like adventure.

Can we fit a craft world with a hyperdrive?

>>3671460

Quite a bit, actually. I'm interested to hear more on the ideas of The Culture and the Progenitors.

If there's one thing I love most, it's the idea that we are not the first species with intelligence.

>>3671425
Derp derp, inspiration

>>3671476
...i was just about to ask about the possible contact of the Hiigarans and the Eldar. Well, we can, I think.

Stop doing horrifically banal crossovers, this is like tvtropes or fanfiction.net levels of failure, you insufferable cunts.

Was gonna post this in the other thread as a reply, but you guys already moved on, so:

If DoW2 is any indication, I wouldn't raise my hopes for HW3 (if it ever gets released) being moddable. Either it's because of DLC or because of that the new engine actually is as mod-unfriendly as Relic says, but either way it doesn't seem likely.

>>3671515
Nobody's actually writing shit like JOHN MACHA WHO WAS FARSEER MACHAS BROTHER WAS IN A HIGARRI OFFICE ONE DAY WHEN
I mean seriously, it's just some goddamn fantasy. Where in the DMCA does it say it's illegal for people to have fun speculating over their favorite franchises colliding?
Now when people get into serious arguments and shit like pic related, then it's retarded.

>>3671485
The Progenitors are interesting in that they appear to have been human in form, or at least reasonably similar, similar enough that their ships allowed Hiigaran and Vaygr crews to live on and interact with them, and Sajuuk was quite readily compatible with Karan.

We don't get any canon pictures of Alien-looking crews from the other races, so it's at least not out of the question that Hiigaran, Vaygr, Bentusi, Taiidan, Turanics and all are offsprings of the same Progenitor species. The old story of the ancient race seeding the galaxy with life that resembles themselves.

>>3671472
While the Hiigaran Navy is busy making hesitant contact with other races in this new galaxy, Karen takes Sajuuk through a hypergate and encounters the Ecclesiarchy.

Strangeness ensues.

Cue Living Saints getting stripped down and wired up into GIANT GOD-SHIPS.

>>3671533
That picture is completely inaccurate.

Nobody on 4chan ever has sex. Except with themselves.

I love that moment when Fleet Command and Fleet Intelligence sound so choked up, when they are normally so calm. The guy in Fleet Intelligence sounds like he's going to cry when he mentions the orbital facilities...I think he knew someone there.

(Fleet Command): No one’s left…Everything’s gone!...Kharak is burning!

(Fleet Intelligence): Kharak is being consumed by a firestorm. The Scaffold
has been destroyed. All orbital facilities destroyed. Significant debris
ring in low Kharak orbit.

(Fleet Intelligence): Receiving no communications form anywhere in the
system… Not even beacons.

>>3671533

>>3671533

IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE BY ME TO HELP MY SISTER TO DEFEAT THE GREY KNIGHT ENEMIES

>>3671574
I particularly liked Karen's performance in HW2. She gives a nice dead-pan all the way through except for that one line in the cutscene after...I think it's mission nine, after the dreadnought is fixed.

>There is a second dreadnought. Makaan has it.

The sheer HATE when she mentions Makaan just made me quiver.

>>3671574
>>3671601

I always thought that I was Karen during the Homeworld games...which was a little hard to get around due to certain events at the end of the first one. But it still made the most sense.

Would the Eldar make an alliance with the Hiigarans?
The Tau certainly would. The Imperium wouldn't.

>>3671574
There's some quality I like about Intel's delivery after they captured the enemy frigate above the ruined Kharak and bring forth all the relevant information about the empire, that fleet's mission, etc.

"The subject did not survive interrogation."

The only time he sounds even vaguely... content. And you just know by what those people just went through, that this interrogation was not pretty.

MANLY TEARS

>>3671637
Yeah pretty sure Karen assumes full control over the fleet. Which is interesting. If it's plausible to assume they could just plug her into a few big databases full of military doctrines, combat intelligence and whathaveyou...

...holy fuck she'd be like some kind of super-general.

>>3671637
I thought so too. It does make sense until...

"Karan."
"You've taken one step too close to me."

>>3671637
The player in the Homeworld games is an abstraction. Essentially, you are 'Fleet Command', but Fleet Command can still think and act independently of you and in fact gives you orders whenever Intelligence isn't. Also, I enjoyed how Fleet Intelligence was often completely and utterly wrong about things. Just like in real life amirite.

Also, Kuun-Lan Fleet Command was such a badass.

>>3671684
Where was Fleet Intelligence wrong?

"We need guns on our mining ship. Build some. Now."

>>3671706
"No, fuck you, those aren't big enough. You there. Scout girls. Find me a BIGGER gun."

>>3671696
It's never wrong on a scale of 'oh hey lets just walk into this obvious trap' but there are a number of times when Fleet Intel makes poor decisions or has you send scout ships straight into the enemy, resulting in their untimely demise. Of course, that's what probes are for.

>>3671537
It could be something like 100,000 years in the future, where humanity has colonized the galaxy, built huge dyson's spheres and megastructures in the galaxy. Went to war. The survivors rebuild empires much later and go to war again. And then homeworld begins.

There are no aliens, just human colonists.

>>3671678

Fuck, now I have this playing out in my mind.

(Fleet Intelligence): We’ve lost Karan. Fleet command is gone.
Emergency biotech teams are working to keep her alive.

Karan: p-plug me b-back in...
Biotech team: Karen, we can't do that. All your safety protocols overloaded to save you...if you go back in you-
Karan: PLUG-ME...the FUCK...back into this THING...NOW! That's an order!
Biotech team: ...yes...right away.
Karen: good...lets finish this...

>>3671724

I love the dialog and voice acting from cataclysm. Has a lot of emotion.

"Cut us loose!"

>>3671657
Eldars? Why? They are basically giant dicks, and they have their fancy "webway" to move across the galaxy. I'm telling you, give Hiigarans some time to tinker with Golden Throne or some other webway node and you can pretty much fuck eldar shit up.

Question: how large and where hidden are the Craftworlds? How many inhabitants, what defences?

>>3671835
Why bother? The HGN can hop entire fleets across hundreds of light years in minutes.

>>3671845
Understanding the Webway can lead to a effective way of anticipating eldar possible movements or even shutting it down entirely. Now if HGN can only tinker with the dyson sphere and cut the galaxy from eye of terror they are basically the only race beside necrons capable of efficient interstellar travel. That means the'll rock...

...if they'll find a way to combat Necrons of course

Anyone got more pics of those awesome gunships and shit?

BREACH IN STARBOARD FUSION CHAMBER

I always loved how the crew of the Kun-Laan changed from the first mission to the last one.

First mission: "The homeworld is under attack? On our way, but be advised: we are a MINING VESSEL. We arn't built for combat."

Last mission: "All right you fuckers I'm coming for you and you're going to die for good this time. Damn that's a big station. EAT SEIGE CANNON. Hey, look, problem solved."

>>3672158
"Burn, you monstruosity. Burn!"
The sheer hate of Somtaaw Fleet Command's voice...

>>3672205
Hate... Fear... Despair... Fleet Commander voice actor really did a good job

>>3672158
Also, the way that after a while they started building their new designs to automatically vent plasma into the crew area if the Beast started getting in was pretty hardcore.

"We are not... monsters!"

>>3671888
I'll see what I can do.

Deacon class destroyer
The Deacon's baptism of fire came at the battle of Coruc Farr, when two Somtaaw Destroyers were left alone to hold off a Beast Heavy Cruiser and a full flight of infected strike craft. In the thick of battle, the lead Destroyer, the Naar-Tel, closed with the beast cruiser and was raked by an infection beam. As deck after deck of the Destroyer fell to the Beast infection, the Naar's Captain made a desperate decision to vent drive plasma into the infected areas and then out into space. At the cost of gutting a quarter of his own ship and killing a sizable percentage of his own crew, the Naar's Captain was able to keep his ship in the battle and help destroy the beast Cruiser.

You're now reliving the moment when Karak was burning

;_;

>>3672367
Just WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS!?! I once tried to kill one. Battle was long and ferocius. That's how I lost a fleet.

;_;

So just how big is that structure in the background? And what the hell is it?

>>3672363
I almost cried ;__;

Is there more?

>>3672396
It's the Junkyard Dawg, and the only way to kill it is to catch it in a gravity well, and bring LOTS of ion cannons.

>>3672405
Looks like an unfinished/ruined Dyson Sphere

>>3672406
Never did more, it was always meant to be a teaser.

>>3672407
So they CAN be killed? Wow.

Who made those things?

>>3672428
>>3672407
Wait I thought the Junkyard Dog was invulnerable?

>>3672405

Speaking of, this looks like a nice arena for a mission, doesn't it?

(Yo dawg, spaceships, etc.)

i disagree with all of these statements.

man /tg/ has fucked this up royally

>>3672442
>Yo dawg
>Junkyard Dawg
Now this meme has double meaning

>>3672436
It CAN be killed, but it has several times more hitpoints than the Mothership and usually it runs away before you can bring enough firepower to bear. But it's corvette class, and so it can be trapped by a Gravity Well Generator.

New Challenge: Stat the progenitors in Shadowrun.

>>3672457
I tried that.

I circled it with three of them, sat it there shooting it for 15 minutes with 10 Ion Cannon frigates, 5 destroyers, 6 Assault Frigates and probly 100 fighters and corvettes.

it didn't even start smoking.

>>3672457
>several times more hitpoints than the Mothership
>corvette class
Who made those things? Bentusi? Progenitors?

>>3672469
You should've BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR

BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR, I say!

>>3672469
Never tried it myself, to be honest, but I hear the firepower you need is insane. Don't remember if the thing also has regen, if so you probably need a sizeable salvaged fleet from all the levels before Karos. I bet having those Multi-beam frigates helps quite a bit.

I know what I'm about to say is more /v/ related, but I trust the maturity of us fa/tg/uys more. Personally, I would love an MMO set in the Homeworld universe. I'd set it up like a combination between EVE Online and Mass Effect, but I would make the scale a bit smaller and I would center the game around exploration and salvaging from the Progenitor's shitpiles. When you look at the pictures from in-game and the concept art for Karos Graveyard, the utterly massive string of wreckage, on such a ludicrous scale, would offer so much hidden technologies and danger, kind of like the wild west or gold rush, but in space. You could command a ship(upgradeable, crew too) (although it would be pretty small, maybe a max crew of 50 or so). You could explore all around and inside these wrecks, filled with wonderful danger and potential glory. Any thoughts on that kind of concept? I think it would be pretty rad. I love the epic scale of the maps in HW2.

>>3672496
Hah. I bet Sajuuk would toast that motherfucker, judging by how effective it was against the Evil Starfishes Of Death.

>>3672479
Unknown. This was in the cool old days before they felt a need to explain every mystery with "Progenitors lol". It was just... there.

>>3672442
Ah, that epic scale is what I need. Form it into crack, and I will pay to smoke it.

>>3672479
Probably someone who didn't like kids taking stuff from his junkyard.

>>3672518
It could be fun, if only for the chance to team up with the old guard of Homeworld fans to beat up the inevitable tide of idiot kids younger than the original game.

Shit. 2 threads on this game.. I'll go try it out.

What's the memory requirement like? Intense? More or less than Neverwinter or Spore?

>>3672611
Actually, this is the third thread.

My one big problem with homeworld is that almost everything about them makes sense from a military standpoint except their ship design. It's fucking retarded, it's a bunch of flat shapes with all kinds of little important looking bits poking out. You need curves to help deflect ordinance, if it's poking out it's a shitload easier to destroy. The Borg had the right idea with sphereical ships, but then they decided to make their best ships cubes...

They had some interesting ideas for mission backdrops. Shame all of that never made it in.

That's pretty awesome.

(Fleet Command): ATTENTION Bentusi fleet, this is Hiigaran Mining Vessel KUUN-LAN. We are in desperate need of your aid. … Bentusi trade ships!
Please come in!

(Bentusi): We will not be bound!

(Tactical Officer): The energy readings on that hyperspace gate are off the scale. They must be jumping to another galaxy! They’re immune to EMP
effects, and we don’t want to fire on them so the only way to stop them
from leaving is to destroy that gate!

(Bentusi): Do not attempt to stop our translocation! Cease your attacks or be destroyed. Do you not understand what has happened? WE WILL NO BE BOUND!

(Tactical Officer): Strike craft launching from the Bentusi trade stations. They’re similar to Acolyte class fighters…but their configuration… it’s like
nothing we’ve ever seen before!

(Fleet Command): Fleet! Full speed ahead! We have to block the entrance to the gate! We can’t let them through.

(Bentusi): You are mad! It will take irrecoverable time to repair the slipgate. The Devourer will find us by then! Each of us that is consumed takes the story of a thousand bound worlds with them. The creature will
devour all our songs. All knowledge will serve to its Hunger.

>>3672664

(Fleet Command): Listen to us! We need your help. We are not here to harm you, but if you leave, the Beast will win. You helped us to win our Homeworld. You cannot run away now!

(Bentusi): We aided the S’jet persona who was newly Unbound. You are not S’jet. Your bound bodies and flicker-lives make you blind. And now we will all pay for your blindness.

(Tactical Officer): Kiith’s blood!!! More stations coming out of hyperspace. They’re powering up main weapons. We don’t have a chance! Prepare to
engage hyperspace module!

(Fleet Command): Negative! Without that cannon working, we’re as good as dead. Better to be blown to atoms now than wait for the Beast to hunt us down.

(Fleet Command): You are killing us!! You and your precious stories! Who will remember the crew of that ship? Or are flicker-lives not worth remembering?

(Bentusi): You seek to trap us in a diseased Galaxy. This cannot be. This cannot be. Desist and we will allow you to leave. We . . . regret the loss of your memories.

(Fleet Command): REGRET?! We regret the loss of the whole sand-cursed Galaxy!!! Stop murdering us and help us kill the Beast!

(Tactical Officer): They’ve stopped firing. Keep it up. You’re getting through to them.

>>3672639
A bit, thanks. This comp is about that old.

>>3672638
Thank you

>>3672668

(Bentusi): The Devourer cannot be stopped. We must flee or even memory will die. We will not be Bound.

(Fleet Command): Yes, yes! You will not be bound--whatever that means! Well, guess what: we won’t let you go. It doesn’t matter how we die. One ancient
monster is as good as another.

(Bentusi): We. . .are. . .not. . .monsters.

(Fleet Command): Aren’t you? Look around. Look what have you done to our fleet. All because we dared to get in your way! Look at yourselves--the Aloof
and Mighty Bentusi! Slaughtering the people who asked for your help. You’re worse than the Beast. At least the Beast doesn’t pretend to be righteous.

(Bentusi): We fear. For the first time in the countless orbits. . .We fear.

(Fleet Command): Join the Kiith! We’re not blind, just scared. As scared as you. Now are you going to help us, or are we going to have to ram this
mining ship down the throat of the first station that approaches?

(Bentusi): That will not be necessary. We see our own madness reflected in yours. We will do what we can to help.

I think by HW2 era, their kith fell out of favor or had a collapse of some sort.

>>3672934
>>3672916
Apparently, Kushan ship armour design consists of a layer of flexible kinetic armour used as a base, covered in an absorptive layer and then an ablative outer coating. All over the ship. And presumably between the outer hull and the superstructure.

I assume they'd put more, thicker layers on larger capital ships as well. Just for good measure.

Is there anywhere to download this from?
The version I downloaded requires a CD.

And then Trogdor smote the Kushan and all was laid to burnination.

>>3673003
That does not make flat armor not retarded.

>>3673003
I liked that explanation, it made sense that way to have "repair beams", i.e. support ships spraying ablative armor back on a ship.

>>3673015
Making all ships spherical with no external nits would make for a pretty boring space opera. Homeworld is about one step up from Star Wars on the sci-fi hardness scale. It doesn't always have to make sense.

>>3673015
The Kushan ships are utilitarian, made of basic shapes that are easy to build and assemble. Spheres and rounded shapes are, unsurprisingly VERY DIFFICULT TO BUILD PROPERLY.

>>3673071
I can make some pretty cool looking ships in my mind that make sense, Imagine kilometer long black Space zeppelins carving up entire continents with world burning lasers. Fuck I love having imagination.

Right, and Homeworld isn't too far from that, except they use mass drivers instead of turbolaser cannons, there are fewer magical energy shields and fighters don't imitate bombing runs on German dams as often.
And the explosions look a bit more like in space-based animè.

>>3673167
Okay. I guess you'll stick to your vision and I'll stick to mine, you can come visit me and my extraneous antennae any time.

>>3673231
Maybe somewhere around Babylon 5? It has the ancient race thing and the pew pew guns and the hyperspace and some techno-telepathy and some low-yield planetkillers and the fighter physics are a bit similar.

I'm of the opinion that kith somtaaw essentially gave their race the finger after getting a few years of recognition, then everyone going 'so uumm.. wheres the minerals that your supposed to be mining, get back to work' leading to the kith striking out into unknown space to create their own empire of fuckawesomeness.

Well, Homeworld started out originally as a Battlestar Galactica game, but they couldn't get the license. So they fluffed out a whole new universe (and a better one at that) along a similar theme. A civilization destroyed, the ragtag remnants fighting it's way across the universe for a lost world of legend, the new home world.

With that said, would a Homeworld tv series reimagined like BSG work?

>>3672963

>>3673336
As long as it's absolutely nothing like battle star galactica, okay.

>>3673363

Looks like the topic finally died. It took only three full threads. Nice.

>>3673799
I Didn't watch old one, new one is more of a soap opera than twin peaks, and 1/100th as good.

>>3673319
I can see it. Certainly, their ship designs are wildly different enough to make their own culture... and they've got enough badassness that anyone who fucked with them would be very, very sorry after a very, very short time. Also, fighters with ion beams to bail themselves out if they're really in trouble.

>>3673336
Why would you need to reimagine it? It makes for an epic series as it is.

It really loses it's effect without his voice. His voice fucking makes it.

Well, yes its GOOD. But there arn't any characters you can identify with.

Karen S'jet would be an important character, but she can't go anywhere. It would, however, be fuckawesome to see the series from her point of view, her only connection to the other characters in the series being through internal cameras and whatnot. Seeing them every day, no matter where on the ship they go, but never being able to see them face to face. technically she watches everyone, but there are a few that are her favorite to watch/ are important to the fleet.

Question

What's the difference between Kushans and Hiigarans? Aren't they the same thing? Are people alternating between the two just to be confusing?

>>3674142
We are not to identify with a character. We must identify ourselves with whole race.

Best character ever: salvage corvette operator.
"You want me to go out there and steal a WHAT?"
"And ion cannon frigate."
"It's a giant gun! I dont even have a pistol duct-taped to MY ship."
Later:
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-"

>>3674172
Sweet Sajuuk, I lol'd so hard.

>>3674159
Yeah, they're essentially the same thing. The Kushans were just exiled Hiigarans who eventually forgot about their origins. They then re-adopted their Hiigaran persona when they reclaimed their homeworld.

>>3674172
He then goes on to be the most important pilot ever, and even though his ship gets blown up damn near every time, he always survives.

Fact: there is only one salvage corvette operator. The other salvage corvettes you see are optical illusions.

>>3674159
Kushans are generally when they are exiled. If in posession of a Homeworld they gain Hiigaran status and +2 to happines

So we need a shit-ton of great characters, but there will probably end up being a group of 10 or less that make up the "main" cast.

So... engineers, research personnel, and an ever growing group of easily recognizable "faces" who are people that are coming out of cryosleep throughout the series.

Imagine, going to sleep expecting to wake up on a brand new world you have only heard of in legend. and then you wake up, to find that you arn't at the Homeworld. The world you did know is gone, burned away by an enemy you have never heard of. And now you are needed to crew the ships that were built to fight back.

I know how this sounds? This sounds like a pile of FUCKWIN

>>3674310
More like FUCKSAD ;_;

I have a question, do the taidaan look a lot different from humans? I think a saw a picture of a vaygr that looked fucking wierd, is that canon?

>>3672694

what's this?

>>3674324
Either way, if done properly, it would be awesome.

>>3674331
One theory is that all HW races are descendants of the Progenitors, so, well, they look alike.

>>3674142
One of the miners of that fleet later becomes the Somtaaw Fleet Commander on the Kuun-Lan.

Awesome or awesome?

>>3674331
They are all very humanoid in appearance.

>>3674230

FUCK YEAH! Thank you!

>>3674373
If the miner was on this resource collector that was gathering resources from the Gardens of Kadesh in the middle of the battle with the Kadeshi with fuckload of swarmers and interceptors going down every minute, then yeah, it all makes sense now.

>>3674142
I think one of the characters could be a starfighter pilot. It could seem generic but the idea of seeing the story from the point of view of a young guy who's basically a front line fighter charged with the responsibility (along with many others) of securing the future of an entire race is a helluva POV.

>With that said, would a Homeworld tv series reimagined like BSG work?

Yay BSG, a bad remake of a mediocre series.

On a more constructive note, the 'rag tag fugitive fleet' idea has tremendous potential for stories, RPGs and resource management heavy wargames.
