Well, after being a wuss (well, studying, surprisingly enough), and not getting round to completing Homeworld 2 single-player, I have had to put in a good few hours the last few days on skirmish missions to acquaint myself with all the units etc..
It rocks! It really does Make sure you turn NLIPS off in game options though, it gives everything much nicer scale.
I look forward to seeing huge fleets of battlecruisers and destroyers pounding lumps out of each other :E This could well be my game of the LAN..
I'm talking about a clean install. Running game, increasing graphics from default then crashing. I have no problems now I got it going, just can't have LOD on etc...

The Vagyr don't stand a chance against an 'equal' Hiigaran fleet. I expect the weekend to be nearly all Hiigaran vs Hiigaran.
RE: buggey as hell,
I've not had a single issue with the game and I run it with max settings at 1280*1024. P4 2.53, 512 pc1066 RD, 5900 Ultra det 53.03. Dunno if you use an FX the det 52.16s made performance slow but it was fixed with the most recent release.
Only problem I ever had was completeing the game and having fun at the same time when the AI has 10+ times your fleet. I think I felt relief more than fun when I finished it.
Why is it so unbalanced? There's not a lot of difference between the two.
One thing that needs changing is the sensor ping...bit *too* useful. One ping and you know where all the enemy's resourcing operations are. Kinda negates the fact that you have a lot more 3D space to play around in.
