I was on a skirmish with a computer player, and one of his Destroyers was firing at my mothership while my Heavy Cruiser was shooting it to bits. Well, then, one of my resource collectors came and rammed right into the destroyer. My question is, why? he was on a clear path, he just turned and crashed into it, he sacrificed those resources to damage a dying destroyer for no reason. Does anyone know why?

p.s.Heavy Cruisers can take on anybody.

Well.... resourcers can kamikaze. Are you sure you didn't unintially send it a kamikaze order?

How do you send a kamikaze order?

Select your ship (anything up to and including a resource colletor), select your target and press k. And yes, you can tell a resource collector to attack something.

But, after thinking about a little while longer, that probably didn't happen to you. It was probably just the resourcer AI messing up.

The Resource AIs can mess up, that's one heck of a mess up, if that had been a more important ship, I would've been pissed.

I once saw a short video where the Mothership Door opened up and slammed into an enemy CA, destroying it without damage to the Mothership

How good of a game is Homeworld?

It easily falls into the "genre (re-)defining groundbreaking unmissable and unforgettable classic" category.

Actually pretty cheap.

Shouldn't be more then $20 at the most.

And like Weemadando said...it's worth ever damn cent.

Alas, no.

I got it for $10 at fry's...

Last time I was at Fry's I noticed there was a sequel out. Is it better/worth getting?

What weird things have happened to ya'll while playing Homeworld, and I mean things that are bizarre to funny to impossible. Any stories?

Cataclysm? I didn't care for it a whole lot, but some people like it. Its not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but I didn't think it could fill HW's shoes.



Now, HW2 is a different story. I'm looking foreward to that like you can't imagine.

So,no one has a weird occurance in Homeworld they wish to share?

Like I decided to be grand and have my mothership duel with the enemy mothership and after a while, both just stop fighting.

Anybody else got anything weird or funny happening in this game?

Meh, I got it for £5.

On topic: The only weird occurence I can think of is a multiplayer game in which my opponent and I traded probes for the first ten minutes or so, trying to get them on a collision course for each other's mothership...

Weirdest thing to happen to me on homeworld was when i was playing it multiplayer once and i built so many ships when i set them in formation, several of them went outside the map....

The Jumping scouts bug was always a bit of fun, but the best tactic was to get a cheap fleet together and position it in a custom formation and then try and get them all to hyperspace inside the enemy mothership - it's a bit of fun and it works rather well - my mate managed to get his mothership to ram the other mothership as a spectular finish to the game...

Probe Golf!

The only weird thing that's happened to me was in skirmish where I sent two probes to find the enemy, and both smashed the other guys mother ship, and then my second wave did the same thing. That got me mad.

Yeah a weird thing happened to me when playing the SW:Invasion mod. ONE, thats is 1 ISD MkII carved up 30 cap ship feddies fleet while only suffering 25% damage. Is that normal. I had intended to sacrifice the ISD while my main fleet moved into a position to ambush the Fed fleet.

Yes thats normal, from what I remember.

Me and a friend had a fighters only game, I decided to draw him out, he sent his fighter force, then I attacked him, his fighters arrived VERY close to the mothership, and STOPPED, did nothing.
