Awesome, I'm a big Homeworld fan but found the story missions impossible to beat somewhat into the game.

Yeah you get like 6 scouts and then a few salvage corvettes in the story mode. I got like 3 ion cannon arrays with them but they got blown up in the asteroid level :(.

What got me in the story was this impossible level.
You got this radiation field all over but these little tunnel like paths. So you go outside these paths you slowly die. Doesn't help when your miners go OUTSIDE the tunnel to gather ore!!! To make it worse, the enemy has a dense minefield in these paths! After 10 exhausting tries I gave up on the game.

I loved the orignal HW. I wasen't all that empressed with the expansion pack, though. It diddn't have the true HW feal. I hope HW2 is more like the orignal.

HW2 should feel like the origional from what I've been reading. It doesn't even bother to include the "Cataclysm" events in the history I think so that is a good thing.

ALso ships THey are going to be HUGE. There are going to be huge battlecruisers and they may even include modding tools with HW2.

I'm going to buy this game when it comes out (I will have a good job by then $15 per hour :) Gotta love goverment contract jobs)
