To be fair, they offer an in-lore explanation for why you can hear noises in space. They don't actually say it outright, but my theory is: You aren't hearing noises in space. You have an open comms channel to every ship on your side, all at the same time. When they explode, the explosion you hear is from inside the ship. Imogen comments on it when the battle is ongoing, saying she can hear them all, their screams, their prayers as they are blown up. I guess the only confirmation would be if the enemy ships make noise when they explode in space. But I like my explanation.

It could be in-universe computer generated, as part of the feedback given by the system; instead of pasting up a big visual sign 'warning, enemy ship behind and to your left' it'd put up 'enemy engine noise' that you would hear as behind and to your left. Same for the in-game sound effects, its the mothership's computer giving you audio feedback on what's happening.

Just google "browser finger printing" that alone is far worse than what this game is doing. Half of what you listed is what most games gather these days, hell even a long time ago.

I was hesitant about getting this game but you may have convinced me. Looks fun. [EDIT] I did end up getting the game and there's some talk about capital ships being overpowered, but I am still finding that the usual Homeworld rules of unit comp and special abilities are key. I think you're struggling against the Destroyers because you're not using an appropriate unit comp, nor are you utilizing the terrain. Some well-microed fleet bombers and with fast moving scouts and a solid backline of long-range ion cannons would have turned the tide.

NGL I played the first Homeworld game when it first came out but couldn't quite beat it. Then I played Cataclysm, and beat that. Then 2 came out, barely got into it before getting distracted but then again I was slightly turned off from feeling like they had broken the lore (I at least remember getting the strong impression from the original manual that the hyperdrive found on the desert planet was taken apart and didn't think it had been put back together as it felt more like the Mothership was using a newly-built one, while 2 basically required that original hyperdrive to be still in use for the entire plot to work), and I also bought that on the ground prequel but haven't even loaded it up once yet. Love the technobabble for sure, debating buying it (especially at full price...) EDIT: and then I realize part of the reason for the mixed review score is Denuvo... trash... so yeah probably won't now...

@BanditLeader 23 күн бұрын

@Oborosen the force of what? If two things hit each other, they vibrate. Those vibrations propagate throughout the air and reach your eardrums, causing your ears to vibrate, which sends a signal to your brain. That's sound. There is no air in space so that can't happen. An explosion? You're hearing the blast of air being pushed from the epicenter that eventually reaches your ears. How do you think "the quietest room" exists? It's absorbs the sound vibrations so they can't bounce off the walls back to you, which is what makes it quieter. Where did the sound vibrations come from? Air. There is no air in space. If someone bashed you in the back of the head, you might hear it since the vibrations of the hit would reach your ears. But distance objects you cannot hear

@Oborosen 23 күн бұрын

@@BanditLeader Now you're making the argument that all sound is simply vibration, which would still be correct. Even in the depths of space. It was a experiment that had been done over a decade ago, basically just a group of equations strung together to see how much energy would be required from a source in deep space. To actually be heard at a viable distance. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head, but the students were reaching astronomical calculations. Which would end up being an explosion in magnitudes higher than any explosion witnessed by the human race. We're talking about an explosion that could cause subatomic reactions, by proxy.

"No noise in space" is a little overly simplified. No you won't hear an explosion in the distance with no medium in between, but anything that touches your hull you will hear, e.g. impacts from weapons fire. The vibrations/sound from those transferring directly through the hull to the air inside*. Also close enough to an explosion releasing a lot of gaseous material it will still hit you with a pressure wave dense enough to be heard and even cause physical damage as it impacts your hull. *Though as depicted in some more hard-sided sf, in such a future you'd likely vent all the air and be in suits inside your combat vessel in prep for combat as it would deny fires and decompression is likely and inconvenient anyway as it can blow people out but would also fog up the interior just like on planes during explosive decompression. Don't want to struggle with controls and read-outs in fog mid-combat. In that case you'd be deaf to anything not on comms or touching your suit directly.
