(Video from the mod 'Homeworld 2 Complex')

1. (From the intro) ships that attach to each other (for what purposes I do not know, but it looks cool
2. (0:47) Missiles that launch in arcs ... and MISSILE TRAILS
3. (1:04) Individual shots that work sort of like tracers inbetween shot
4. (1:23) That there looks more like a platform than a ship, lots and lots of smaller turrets, why limit it to 8
5. (1:31) Mechanics that allow (and incentivize) more for multiple types of weapon platform
6. (2:28) ZOMG ... now ... THAT is what a ship exploding should look like... \o
7. (03:08) The debris and clouds from the intense battle show VISUALLY more what (an amazing) mess this i
8. (03:18) The flashes from big ships exploding makes the entire screen white for a short time... and the shock waves move ship


I know that only some of this is technically possible to implement in EVE and retain balance - but just SOME of it

For some reason the forums ate a 1 at the end of the url (now fixed) - the other video... well, it was ... different

Bleh, ships look cartoonish, planet-moon way too close to each other, generic explosions, dull background, no drones and I can go on like this.

In short it looks dated. Twisted

:facepalm:

Of course it's dated, it's almost ten years old. Some of these visuals still are better than EVE's.

"It looks dated" .. hahaha, nice one Smile

Personally love the way missiles look/feel/operate, but it is probably too much to ask for in Eve as it would mean them accelerating towards target and such.

HW2 is/was so good that it is almost worth paying full price for it today (slightly exaggerated Smile

Graphics may be somewhat dated, but it does look like what cap warfare should be like.

the ships from this video looks like they are from a cartoon. Bad video to me.

I agree that missiles trails would be cool in Eve.

HW2's engine is as old as EVE but it hasn't had any upgrades like with Trinity. That considered, the guys on the Complex team did a DAMN good job.

Can't see much difference. PDS and Complex are just two different takes on the HW2 theme. FX and Pirates are just as good in their own right. You pays yer money, . . . etc.

Missile arcs and trails doesn't make sense in space.

Also, the ships move like they were on a 2D plane (ie the sea) and I dislike the idea of ships lining up for a broadside.
