Get out your old Homeworld CD and we'll play a nice EVE-players game of online Homeworld.
We can do the first game during downtime if enough people respond, but if not we could do one at like 1400 or 1500.
If you want to join, post here

Edited by: Dark Shikari on 23/07/2006 10:27:52 In the previous thread we had about 5-10 people who wanted to play, we just hadn't arranged a time.

I don't think you'd have a problem, I haven't played the game in years, and I doubt anyone here has either.

We can do one next weekend also... there's no such thing as too many games of Homeworld

Homeworld I was never a great multiplayer game IMO. It wins single player totally (I've yet to see an RTS with a single player campaign which could get near touching it. Best otherwise IMO is Warcraft3, and that has nothing on it). I think Homeworld II (hell, even Cataclysm) was a much better multiplayer game.

Bleh, I hated multiplayer Cataclysm because of the big giant cannon thing on the main ship. -------------------------------------

You're nuts: Homeworld 1 had awesome multiplayer.
It was a slow game, but that was the point: it was all about strategy, rather than micromanagement.

Personally I found it a bit too rock-paper-scissors, and the lack of variation detracted from the experience. On the ohter hand, I wasn't very old when I mainly played HW1 multiplayer: I might just have enjoyed the later ones because I was older and more tactically adept. I totally agree on the siege cannon though

When you log onto WON, you mean?
If you're using a CD-keygenned key, it won't work. Some old Homeworld CD keys apparently also don't work: I know there's a forum you can post on to get them to approve your old CD key if it doesn't work.
I've never encountered one though.

I had this idea for a while, but it's a bit hard to find more than 4-5 people to join my plan.
EVE would be the perfect place to "re-create" Homeworld. Imagine tier 1 or 2 frigates swarming out of the mothership to engage the Taiidan (or Kushan) scouts, tier 3 frigates as the interceptors, the corvettes (destroyers) and so on, with all types of ships available in our game (tech 1 would make the game slow enough to be enjoyable to every pilot regardless of skillpoints and allow someone to record the fights).
I would love to see PVP like it should be done (in my oppinion): 1 on 1, frigate versus frigate, cruiser versus cruiser, etc. and this could be easily done on the test server, a bit harder on Tranquility unless we get some support from the GMs :)
If you're interested, contact me somehow :)

Well I had 6 harvesters and 3 resource controllers going that you never bothered to take out... I think I ended up with the entire map's worth of resources before we fought

Originally by: Cairo dog Um, sorry about that last game :S It came up with an error saying the game had encountered a problem and needed to close. Ghey.
I got the same after it asked me whether to kick you for losing connection... 
That was the best fleet battle ever omg: it was like EVE without lag! And it was damn fun!
You were putting up a hell of a fight, I could have lost if it hadn't crashed
