Homeworld 2: Tips from experienced players
1. Be sure to complete the training. Here you will learn about the main game mechanics. Without this knowledge, victory will be impossible.
2. Capture enemy ships. To do this, use the Space Infantry Frigate. A captured ship can be used in battle or decommissioned, receiving resources for it. Any ships except fighters are captured.
3. Destroyed ships give you resources. When you destroy large ships, a debris field remains in their place. Collecting debris will give you a lot of the necessary resources.
4. Pause the game. In it you can give orders and assess the combat situation. The pause will allow you to give thoughtful and timely orders.
5. Destroy enemies gradually. Break enemy troops into small groups and destroy them. If you fight with a large number of enemy troops at the same time, you will suffer huge losses.
6. Destroy capital ships piece by piece. Enemy ships also have modules. Destroying a module is much easier than destroying an entire unit. Destroying them reduces the attacking potential of the enemy ship and it will be easier for you to defeat it.
7. Save often. So you can download the right moment of the game and act differently.
8. Study your ships. In the descriptions for units, it is written against whom they are effective, and against whom they are useless. Use your troops wisely.
9. Hide assemblers and unneeded units. At the beginning of the game, as a rule, the most fierce battles take place. Unused units can be taken to a safe area or docked with the mother ship. That way they stay safe and sound.
10. Study the goals and conditions of the mission. Each location has its own specifics. Ignoring the features of the mission will lead to heavy losses or defeat. Read the dialogues and mission objectives carefully.
11. Don’t interrupt scenes and videos. So you will better understand the plot of the game and save yourself from bugs that occur when you skip them. Dialogues and messages can always be read in the Journal.
12. Repair damaged squadrons and equipment. You should not wait until your units are destroyed. Send them to dock with the mother ship for repairs. Or use special repair units. Frigates and capital ships are being repaired on their own, but slowly.
13. Destroy enemy resource collectors. So you will not only slow down the construction of the enemy fleet, but also save resources for yourself.
14. Do not use gun platforms. They can’t fly, they don’t carry over to the next missions, they can’t be disposed of. Instead of platforms, it is better to build ordinary ships.
Homeworld 2: Don’t rush to win!!!
After completing all the tasks, you automatically make a hyperjump and start the next level. A distinctive feature of Homeworld 2 is that all resources, research and units that you have before the hyperjump are automatically transferred to the new mission. Therefore, outside of battles, you must perform the following actions:
1. Do not rush to do all the tasks. Usually, the trigger for completing a level is the completion of all mission objectives. Therefore, do not rush to destroy all enemies and perform other tasks. This can be difficult, but necessary for the successful completion of the entire game.
2. Collect all available resources. Send your collectors until they say that there are no resources left and there is nothing more to collect. The game has one single resource that is used for construction and research. The more resources you have, the higher your chances of successfully completing the game. At the end of the mission, all resources are collected automatically, but you should not rely too much on this.
The game has a bug. Collectors need to be sent several times to collect resources (H button), until they say that there are no more resources.
3. Conduct research. There are quite a lot of technologies in the game. Therefore, all necessary research must be completed before hyperjumping. At the beginning of the game, there will be few resources, you need to choose only the most important technologies and study them.
4. Write off all obsolete ships. If you have the opportunity to build more efficient ships, then the old ones must be written off. When writing off, you will receive a part of the cost of the vessel.
5. Build a modern fleet. In the game you will meet a lot of enemies. You need to have a strong army to defeat any enemy.
It should be remembered that in order to produce certain ships, it is necessary to carry out research or build an additional module.
6. Don’t repair damaged ships. When hyperjumping, repairs will be carried out automatically. And in the next mission, you will receive your ships with full health.

Homeworld 2: Game Story
Background. The hyperspace core made it possible to travel in space. One of them made it possible for the exiles to return to their home world - Hiigaru (Homeworld 1 story). Under the influence of the third core, the Weygr raised a new leader for themselves - Makaan. He had already conquered many star systems, but now he turned his gaze to Hiigara.
1 mission. In secret from everyone, the construction of a new mother ship with a hyperspace core, the Pride of Hiigara, has been completed. The ship has only half the crew and many non-working systems. During testing, we are attacked and we hyperjump. Veygrs are attacking all our bases, a full-scale invasion has begun. The mother ship is sent to the rally point.
2. Mission. 6 transport workers with a crew for our Mothership are flying to meet us. On the way they are attacked by Weygrs, our task is to protect them. After docking each of them, a certain function is activated in the Mothership. Captain Soban’s fleet comes to our aid and helps to defeat the enemy. However, we are being hunted by a huge army of Weygr, so we’d better fly away.
3. Mission. The Veygrs have occupied Hiigara. Makaan promises to spare us if we give him the Hyperspace Core. With the help of the shipyard, we will be able to rebuild our fleet, but it was also attacked. We repel the attack and repair the shipyard. The Bentusi then appear and talk about the prophecy. Sajuuk (Great Forerunner) created 3 cores. The first - it turned out at Bentusi, the second - with us. By combining three cores, you can awaken Sajuuk. Only he will help defeat the Weygr and Makaan. We hyperjump and the shipyard stays behind to make ships for Hiigara.
4. Mission. Sujuku is not a myth, he was worshiped by all the great clans. Bentusi gave us the coordinates of the oracle, which is located in the possession of the Weygr. But first we need to destroy the huge military base that guards this sector. We destroy the hyperspace gates, enemy units and the base itself.
5. Mission. In the sector where the oracle is located, the Veygrs are conducting large-scale excavations. We must get to the oracle before the enemies. We use dust clouds to remain unnoticed. We destroy the enemies and take away the oracle.
6. Mission. The oracle changed our course and led us to the Kars cemetery. He is in complete control of our hyperspace core, and it is making new leaps. We reflect the attacks of automated ships. Capture an enemy ship and develop effective weapons against enemy ships. Thanks to one of the wreckage, the oracle managed to deactivate enemy units and obtain the coordinates of the forerunner artifact.
7. Mission. We appear at the location of the wreckage of the Forerunner Dreadnought, which was called the "Sajuuk Gatekeeper". We need to destroy the debris that keeps us from going into hyperspace. We use for this transport corvettes, which we have learned to build. The Veygrs have learned of our location and have sent troops to destroy us.
8. Mission. Transport corvettes are forerunner ships controlled by artificial intelligence. The Forerunners themselves were from our galaxy. On this fragment of the ship, 3 hyperspace engines were made. We are flying to the coordinates where the huge Dreadnought-class ship is located. According to the prophecy, whoever combines the 3 cores will release Sajuuk. We capture the dreadnought and activate some of its systems. During the mission, we will be attacked by the Precursor Guardian - this is a powerful ship that cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons. But we find energy modules that will help destroy the Guardian.
9. Mission. The Dreadnought is many years old, but we can control it. He has tremendous power, but many of his systems do not work. The Dreadnought can also control some Forerunner Artifact. We’re heading to the coordinates given to the captains of Soban. Using the Dreadnought, we will inflict devastating damage on the Weigers. However, Makaan also has a Dreadnought. We destroy the capital ship of the Weygr, but they disable our Dreadnought. We protect and repair our ship with the help of a friendly shipyard. We reflect powerful attacks of enemies. The Veygrs capture Captain Sabaan.
10. Mission. We’ve tracked Soban’s coordinates and are flying to rescue him. But on the way we are intercepted by the Guardians. There are many of them, and they are still invulnerable. Bentusi appear nearby and repair the Dreadnought’s main weapon. We defend ourselves from many attacks of the ships of the Guardians. The Bentusi complete the repairs and blow up their ship to destroy the Guardians. We’re going into hyperspace so we don’t get hit by the blast.
11. Mission. The Bentusi sacrificed themselves for the prophecy. The Bentusi hyperspace core is left at the site of the explosion, we need to pick it up. However, Veygr ships also flock to the explosion. The core of Bentusi broke into 3 parts, and they became radioactive. We pick them up using frigates with a protective field, and also do not let the Weigrs do it.
12. Mission. Captain Soban is transported to the Weyg base for interrogation. We are heading to this base to rescue him from captivity. We destroy the enemies and pick up Captain Soban. After leaving the base, Soban blows it up. Makaan appears and again offers us to give the cores, in return he promises to spare us. We’re trying to destroy Makaan, but he’s jumping into hyperspace. Soban gives us the coordinates of the Balcora Gate, where we go.
13. Mission. Balcor is a cluster of black holes at the center of a galaxy. The hyperspace gates of the Forerunners are located there. Balcora’s Gate is the path to Sajuuk. Let’s go to this section. Makaan wants to get Sajuuk using the Dreadnought. For some reason, the Veygrs are trying to destroy the gate. We destroy all opponents and launch the gate.
14. Mission. We opened the gate and released Sajuuk. However, Makaan only expected this. Now he wants to get Sajuuk by combining 3 hyperspace cores to control him. We fight off a massive attack of enemies and defend the Mothership. We destroy Makaan and take away his core. Before dying, he says that Hiigara is in great danger. The triad of nuclei is assembled, we will integrate it into Sajuuk. We make a jump to Hiigara.
15. Mission. In orbit around Hiigara, the Weygrian forces battle the remnants of the planet’s defending fleet. Sajuuk is a large and strong ship, but it can be destroyed. We use our fleet to destroy the enemy. After a while, huge ships of unknown origin appear. They begin to destroy all life on the planet. Normal weapons are useless against them, use Sajuuk to destroy them. With ordinary ships we shoot down torpedoes of planetary bombers.
Epilogue. We have become the chosen ones and keepers of the three cores. The millennial era of wars is over, the time has come for peace and great discoveries. But the nuclear triad opened the Eye of Arran. The discovery silenced the entire galaxy in amazement. The hyperspace gate system has been preserved in excellent condition. Therefore, the era of peace will soon end, because we are waiting for new battles in Homeworld 3.
