r/homeworld

Homeworld is why I care about fleet readability at all, so this crowd is exactly who I want judging this. My game lets you run the whole fleet or drop into one fighter in the middle of it. This cut leans fleet: dreadnought lines, carrier strikes, a station siege under a golden core sky. Context for the timing: the wishlist counter ticked past 200 this week and I felt like celebrating. Happy to pull the post if the mods want the sub franchise-only. What I most want to know is whether the big engagements stay readable to you.

"Enemy formation drifting port. Mark the lead cruiser and commit torpedoes before the window closes.

They're trying to break the firing corridor.

Vector, hold them them on point.

Siege, stand by to spool."

Homeworld is a real time, 3D Space strategy game released in 1999 for the PC. One of my favorites of all time. Here's my intepretation of one of the ships from that game; the Multi-Gun Corvette.

Engineered as a dedicated anti-strike craft platform, the Tempest is equipped with six high-speed weapons systems capable of tracking even the most agile targets. Utilizing gyro-stabilization and a maglev turret configuration, the vessel can effectively engage and neutralize multiple fast-moving threats simultaneously. Furthermore, the venerable corvette chassis provides the durability required to withstand sustained engagements against swarms of enemy fighters, while maintaining the maneuverability and speed necessary to effectively engage the enemy in an offensive capacity.

Here in No Man's Sky, I saw that Thunderbird Cockpit and I was immediately reminded of the corvettes from Homeworld. I spent a fair amount of time putting it together, and learned a lot about corvette building in the process. This is my first major build I'm sharing with everybody, and I plan on building more ships to share.
