"Also I'm guessing CVBG 52 is "Something something Battle Group 52"."
"CV" is the naval nomenclature for aircraft carriers, so in this case it'll be "Carrier Battle Group 52".
And as someone who has never played the original Homeworld due to financial reasons but has always wanted to, being able to play it now is making me giddy.
Correct.
The Other Wiki uses that acronym too.
Time to get on the steam machine.
Never got my original discs working on my current rig, so this will be WONDROUS.
Also, the HW 2 UI in HW 1... actually works for me. And I like what they're trying with MP. Now, I never really played MP much except one LAN game that went... weird.
Due to ow HW 1 calculated damage, my friend and I had a game where in his game a shot went wide, then in mine it DIDN'T (Skipped bit of data)
As such in my game, a frigate was destroyed. In his, the frigate survived and limped out of the fight. The Computer promptly disconnected both of us, but KEPT PLAYING with AI as rivals... without either of us realising.
Cut to 15 minutes later as we both go "YES! You are defeated!" followed by some confused back and forth and screen sharing.
Ah, memories.
Unit Lost is also doing an LP of it, they got done with the second mission.
Twitch has a few streams up. There seem to be some UI glitches. The top streamer by viewers is quite sarcastic.
The tutorial is apparently rife with Department of Redundancy Department.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"It would appear so, yes.
Edit: Did they dump Salvage Corvettes in favor of Marine Frigates in both HW1 and HW2 campaigns? That's an "aww".

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"That's interesting, but I'm curious why one would be that concerned about stealing enemy strike craft. Doesn't seem worth the effort.

I unfortunately haven't read the booklet that came with the game, so unfortunately I had to Google it XD
