In this match I was playing with the Kushan faction from Homeworld 1 against a player using the Hiigaran faction from Homeworld 2. The map is a small 2 player one, with few resources asteroid fields which are all on the same plane, meaning there is little need to move in 3D except when attacking enemies to surprise them.
The resource harvesting opening with the Kushan faction I sometimes use is to just build several resource harvesters on both my carrier and mothership with the addition of a research ship so I can start researching as soon as possible to unlock new ship types.
My first research is the one for scouts and the fighter drive, while I am making a beginners mistake here by not constructing any probes and sending them out to check what my opponent is up to.
In this match I decided to keep my mothership and carrier back and wait to construct a mobile refinery before expanding onto a new resource field, this however is not the optimal strategy and you should send out your carrier to stake claim of an additional asteroid field as soon as you start a new match.
And now we come to the main enemy tactic being deployed against me. He will continue being aggressive with both his Mothership and carrier going straight to my mothership and building new gun platforms the whole way. Letting them stay where they are deployed after being constructed.
My hope and plan was for the frigates to deal with these but I was already running out of resources to construct any more of them. And then I get one more nasty surprise as the enemy has already constructed ion cannon platforms which can rip apart armor on capital ships so my frigates stood no chance.
At this point I was feeling outplayed and alarmed as the ships I had were unable to defend my mothership while I didn’t have the resources required to build another type to try to deal with the platforms the enemy player was pumping out behind his mothership and carrier. I wanted to invest in attack bombers, but even that was futile considering the mass interceptors already in play.
