I was wondering if anyone used to/still does play ^ game. Old one, that I started playing again after three years because my current semi-retro gaming trend. And I've become re-obsessed. Enough to buy the expansion off one of my friends. So, anyone?

Kadeshi Mod
Try this, meant for skirmish only (the Kadeshi don't have Salvage Corvettes, so you can only get halfway through first level  ). Remember the Kadeshi? The guys in the nebula with the badass fighters (and tons of them)? Fun, no research ships to gaurd (I guess the Needle Mothership does it), although there are like five techs that are just to lead to other ones. Needle Mothership is fast as hell, for a mothership (don't know if it can ram like in the campaign, though). Collecters can easily outrun pursuing captiol ships (durable, too), equivilent of a Resource Controller is very heavily armored, and looks like the Research Station on the supernova radiation level (no guns, though). Multibeam Frigates and their Heavy Cruisers need huge nerfing (One Heavy Cruiser takes forever to build, but can take down a Mothership in ~1 1/2 minutes, and this one rips through fighters, no need to worry about those thirty Bombers coming if you have one Kadeshi Heavy Cruiser). They are plagued by HUGE build times, though.

HW was very fun, as was the expansion (liked the expansion better, though it needed 3 races out of the box IMO, 2 just dosnt do it anymore in stragity games)
It must be the all time best 3d stragity game yet to see light of day, hands down. I did play that for some time (never did finish the singleplayer for the expansion, Im not big into singleplayer stuff, I live online  )I have been looking at HW2, and it is me, or does it look like they used the same graphics eng and just updated it so they could slightly bump up the textures/effects? I hope that there will be more than 2 sides, I also hope that the sides will be very different vs the almost identical sides in the 1st one.... Well anyway, we shall see how it goes....

I do hope they are different, but I doubt they will be that different
""Despite using different ship types, the Vaygr and Hiigaran ship classes (Strike, Corvette, Frigate, and Capital) are more or less equal. The Vaygr have faster ships in greater numbers but they're fragile and highly specialized. They're very good at what they do, but very bad at what they don't. Favoring fighters and corvettes over frigates, Vaygr fleets have more options in these classes compared to the Hiigarans. ... Vaygr players will instead develop a system that uses fixed hyperspace gates to allow extremely inexpensive hyperspace travel between two fixed points." - Geoff Thomas, Assistant Producer" I just see it being lots of fighters &few cap ships vs lots of capital ships w/fighter escort.... And I remember hearing that the 1st game would have different sides as well   Dont get me wrong, I do hope that the 2 sides are different and balanced, however IMO all good stragity games now adays needs a 3rd main race for multiplayer, and all 3 need to be different from the ground up.
