The ships in the game will have familiar favorites like fighters, frigates, carriers and of course the Mothership that was found in Homeworld2, along with other new craft that unfortunately we didn’t get to see in our GDC demo. Combat with ships has been refined in Homeworld2 with the use of “strike groups”; groupings of ships that will eliminate things like having your fast but small ships always getting ahead of your slow but powerful ships. Larger ships will also have subsystems like weapons, propulsion and the like which smaller ships can eliminate. We have been told that the Mothership will also have some more powerful weapons of its own in Homeworld2 (it won’t just have wimpy anti-fighter guns).
