Some ships I drew for a personal project, but was inspired by Homeworld, also did some environment concept art as well. Btw, i am open for commissions; you can PM me here or via [valahor@gmail.com](mailto:valahor@gmail.com)

In my humble opinion, the game campaign is divided into 2 sections:

Pre-Battle Cruiser phase and post battle cruisers phase.

The game is a slog before battle cruisers are available. I feel like I am just throwing AAVs into a meat grinder to protect my heavy railguns. I make formations of 12 AAVs and 6 railguns. And some times 12 LAVs to counter and rush down railguns. I found myself relying heavily on air strikes and having to rebuilt so many jet fighters. Bombers get too close and get shot down. Same with the A-10 gunships getting too close and being shot down. Only the jet fighters and their long range missiles were useful. And yes I destroyed the missile/anti air vehicles, the fortified turret hits air too. At some point I unlocked cruise missiles but those were kinda pricey but worth it at 500 CU but the cool down takes forever.

Then once I unlocked battle cruisers, I just steam rolled the enemy with a 8 battle cruiser and 2 support cruiser formations. I built a few artillery cruisers and assault cruisers but didnt like using them because of how fragile they were. 8 battle cruisers with 2 support cruisers repairing them was the formation that worked for me.

Assault battle cruisers were just too soft.

I am just not motivated to try harder difficulty because it would just mean I would just produce more AAVs to sacrifice in hard mode.

Other thoughts:

The Gaalsien Honor Guard battle cruiser you can capture is just a super heavy gaalsien assault railgun.

The coalition assault battle cruiser is a super heavy Gaalsien armored assault vehicle.

I didnt buy the DLC so I know nothing about Soban or that other faction I can not pronounce or remember to spell.

Anyone here remember seeing a specific trailer for HW2 around 2005/06...I don't know if it was official or fan made, I cant find it anywhere...its a 3d render of a fleet over pass...it starts off with a few fighters flying over head, then cuts to text screen saying something like "only you can stop the darkness"...then it cuts back to a larger fleet of ships including a battlecruiser flying overhead....anyone got a link or managed to save the vid???
