I said Space RTS! gawdammit! I guess there is no hope left in the world. :(
::slowly creeps away::
BTW Zool, there was a special done in a PC mag I read the other day. The gfx look su-weeet!!! It was titled "Orange, the new black for Space RTS" It was a satirical look at Homeworld 2's extensive use of nebula as a backdrop instead of the ominous black expanses we Space rts gamers are so familiar with.
Oh and I just finished the Hegemonia demo, I cant wait until the commercial release is out, w007!!!11//1/1

How about PlanetSide? That is close enough...MMOFPS but takes place in different worlds and you can fly aircraft.

Well, MOO3 isn't exactly an RTS per se if you classify it, but it will have real-time elements from what I've read. Anyways, who cares, one can classify it whatever and I'll still be drooling for it to be released!

I completely forgot about the next few Space RTS that are also making

This gives Hegemonia a run for its money

You think MOO3 will be released this month? They just started the beta test a few weeks ago.

Dude thats less than a week from now. Cheer up.
BTW, I was kinda disappointed with the gameplay of Starfleet Command 3. ITs way too slow for my liking. But I may give it another shot later this year. I just hope they don't cancel Star Trek Armada 3. Which IMO is the one best Star Trek game franchises after Bridge Commander and Elite Force (Elite Force II coming soon!)
Anyone know how good O.R.B. is? I'm thinking of getting either Hegemonia or O.R.B. but I keep hearing conflicting stories from both camps.
Pros and cons of Hegemonia
http://www.haegemonia.com/
1)Tech tree for all 3 races identical.
2)No Carrier units available
3)Battles are more like a non-interactive cinematic. (ie once engaged in battle, ships duck and weave autonomously and attack until battles are won)
Pros and cons of O.R.B.
http://www.o-r-b.com/
1)No planet building options, which rules out planet empire expansion options.
2)xyz axis contolling of ships slightly cumbersome (Heg much easier to get a hang of)
3)gfx not bad but eye candy not upto par with Hegemonia (have you seen the planets and explosions in Heg? ::drools::
4)Again no planet conquering! :(

Eh, MOO3 is delayed again. Said it has a few more bugs they need to work out. They said it should be out before Christmas.

gawdammit jim! I said ORB vs Heg. Ah forget it!
I already made my choice. Heg wins, and I just got it. I'll let you guys know how it plays.

Is Heg out? I checked Best Buy for it yesterday and it wasn't there. Release was in November yes? Anyone playing this yet? I am looking for a new game and enjoyed Homeworld. Just looking for some input on Heg, the visuals are stunning.
Hasta!
Stark Out!

Get it buddy, you'll thank me later. The visuals are the greatest and the Heg forums are buzzing with the possiblity of a sequel and the mods that might spawn from it as well. A su-weet buy.
