But while the mothership’s bulk enables it to withstand a tremendous amount of punishment, it doesn’t have to fight alone. It’s where your fleet originates, where you research new technology, and where you refine resources from nearby asteroids and debris fields. The basic elements of Homeworld 2 will be familiar to RTS fans: Your mothership is your home base. This sets in motion a series of events that will keep you on the edge of your seat straight through to the end of the game-if you survive that long. At the start of Homeworld 2, you and your fellow Hiigarans are putting the finishing touches on your new mothership, the Pride of Hiigara, when the Vaygr fleet launches a surprise attack. A sprawling space opera, Homeworld 2 tells the story of the Hiigarans, a space-faring race of people that has returned to Hiigara from a distant exile, only to find themselves persecuted by a warrior clan called the Vaygr. The result is one of the most attractive, enjoyable games you’ll find on store shelves this year. It forces you to fight in a truly three-dimensional space. But Aspyr Media’s Homeworld 2, a new RTS game set in outer space, changes all that. Despite their contoured landscapes, you’re ultimately still playing on a flat map. Let’s face it-most real-time strategy (RTS) games are relatively two-dimensional.
