Help with the Macross Univers mod

Help with the Macross Univers mod

I got Homeworld remastered recently and one of the first things I did after trying the base game was download this mod because I'm a Macross fan and I watched Blaan Sarge's videos covering this mod years ago but I've found the AI doesn't function.

I was wondering if I could do something like download an earlier version of the mod like the one in the videos I mentioned where the AI does function.

Dreadnought issues

"oh, my dreadnought is damaged, let's dock it with the mothership to repair it. I'm sure this won't backfire at all"

Captain Sohban can't dock so I'm stuck on this level, which would normally be great, but I can't collect any resources because they're all just broken bits of ships. And the have to get into the mothership, which is currently being blocked by the dreadnought.

I will see you in like an hour when it's finished repairing the remaining 200000 hit points.

Update. I figured out how to undock the dreadnought. Stuff is moving again.

I did a thing...

So I've been stuck in this level for so long that on one attempt, I just did this:

Homeworld 3 Steam sale

Homeworld 3 is now on sale for around 20$, lowest price so far.

Worth it?

EDIT: Thanks for all the replies everyone!

Seems like another HW2 campaign might be in order and a wait for the sub 10$ mark

What went wrong with Homeworld 3?

I loved Homeworld and Homeworld: Cataclysm. Was really breathtaking. An epic story and an epic space adventure.

I really enjoyed Homeworld 2. Not a huge fan of the UI but still an awesome game!

But what happened with Homeworld 3? What went wrong?

The delightful chaos of the siege cannon

Recently replayed HW:C for the first time in 25 years and I hadn’t realised how much fun the siege cannon is.

I played some sneaky shots in campaign but had an absolute blast against the CPU.

I hadn’t realised the fun dynamics that you can get by batting away the shots with the Dreadnoght repulsor field, or triggering it with the DF Frigate.

It’s also such a wildcard in the endgame - instead of one player starting to dominate and the game essentially being a foregone conclusion, the siege cannon means it’s anyone’s game right up to the end.

I saw the winning player’s mothership get oneshotted by an incredible sniper shot - immediate inversion of the player ladder.

And I moved in for the kill on a CPU player, only to experience the horror of seeing their siege cannon warm up. But I managed to get a Dreadnought inbetween them and bounced the cannon shot onto another player’s fleet. I genuinely laughed out loud.

I’ve also seen videos of the Beast tactic of hyperspacing a DFF on top of an enemy as they’re firing the cannon in order to trigger it as it leave the muzzle and turn it into a self-own.

I know a lot of games (including DoK and HW3) have nuke type weapons, but these tend just to be sniper-type weapons without much potential for defence or reversal.

HW:C brought additional dynamics that really raises the stakes for all players when it gets fired.

25 years since its release, and I can’t think of a game that did it better.

Should I quit the remaster and get Emergence instead?

I tried playing the classi in the remastered, but the ships keep circling around the mothership when ordering to dock. I am currently watching mandaloregaming video on emergence. From what I have seen it looks appealing. Should I play Emergence instead? I am new by the way.

I'm looking for ambient radar from Homeworld.

Hey everyone! There was a post about five years ago about the ambient radar sound from Homeworld. But the YouTube link I clicked on that post turned out to be a long-deleted track. I've been trying to find the looped radar sound from Homeworld for a while now, but I couldn't find a source or discussion about where to find it.

Does anyone have a looped recording of the radar sound effects or know where to find them? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

HWC very minor questions.

All related to HWC. HW1 is perfect and HW2 has obvious and glaring problems so not worth mentioning.

  1. Did the Somtaaw ship ever get an influx of new people on board? Like many must have been killed when the engineering module was detatched from the main ship, yet they just make a new one. Who re-populates that? It would have been nice to see or be told about some Somtaaw joining the existing crew, especially since quite a lot must also die in the spacecraft you have to make in the game.

  2. How is the captain of the Taidan Imperialist heavy crusier able to make the decision to renounce the Taidan alliance with the Beast? Is he actually like the president of the Taidan Imperialist government? lol. It would have been nice to see or be told about a communication/discussion between that fleet and the Taidani government that gave authoriation to the captain's decision. I LIKE the fact that the Taidan abandon the Beast at the last minute, it makes them feel like a fully rational actor.

Perhaps the Taidan fleet captain is acting in a governmental capacity since maybe the Taidan government is far away from the area affected by the Beast, so maybe it makes sense.
