Imagine a PA2 with these graphics:

The MP modes aren't interesting.

Blackbird Interactive wrote:An all-new, co-op capable multiplayer mode extends your game beyond the campaign. Fusing Homeworld’s RTS gameplay with roguelike structure, one or two commanders take on a randomized series of fleet combat challenges. Manage your fleet strength across each battle and claim powerful rewards with each victory. Based on your results, you’ll unlock incredible powers that carry over run after run.


Blackbird Interactive wrote:Your ultimate test of tactical skill comes in battle against human opponents. Sharpen your instincts in AI skirmish matches, before squaring off with human opponents in 1v1, free-for-all, or team battles.


But combat in general sounds great:

Blackbird Interactive wrote:Strategic freedom is yours. Hulking space derelicts called megaliths bring 3D terrain into the classic Homeworld battlespace. Use the crumbling remains of an ancient civilization to funnel foes into a brilliant ambush or hide your fleet from powerful enemies. Fortresses teem with menacing turrets and invite your strike craft into dangerous trench runs deep behind enemy lines. But not everything is in your control. Dangerous space phenomena like particle storms and asteroid fields will test even senior commanders.

Attack head-on, with a clever flank, or even from above and below your foes. Homeworld 3’s fully simulated ballistics make line of sight and cover critical strategic considerations. Your fleet persists from mission to mission. Scars on your ships linger. Strike craft pilots and capital ship captains pass along critical information through battlefield chatter.


Imagine a PA2 with these mechanics.

There is a new trailer showing in game footage summarising a single scenario mission showcasing the features of the game.

The importance of terrain is very interesting. The use of large tunnels for alternate attack routes and large debris for cover seems a bit scripted - a dormant jump gate surrounded by wreckage of the previous inhabitants / garrison, but perhaps the final release version of this mission will give better context.

Star Citizen has ruined me with its ships. These lazy designs stick out at me like cancers on the screenshot now. Especially the larger ones are comicotragically lazy, as if a child had drawn them. Look at that barge of a capital ship and the Minecraft cubes in the background lol.
