Homeworld 2 continues the epic struggle of the Hiigarans and their leader Karan S'jet. Many thought their hardships would end when they returned to Hiigara, yet fate has not been so kind to the Exiles. Now the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy, a renegade clan from the eastern fringes of the galaxy, who wield the power of the ancients. Homeworld 2 chronicles the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and discover the truth behind their exile.

About Homeworld 2 The Dark Wars with 0 comments by Dark-Sajuuk on Apr 20th, 2012

Unit caps were the best idea to balance these races out, due to the fact that some ships are overpowered and the only to keep things the way they are is the use unit caps to keep anyone from spaming the most powerful ships in the game.
The Dark Progenitor's ships are overpowered, but this is normal for them, because of this the Dark Progentors are balanced by a strict set of unit caps that are much lower then the other races this is due to the fact that they have the most powerful units in the game and don't need to field very much of them, compaired to the Beast which has high unit caps to balance out their lower technology.
Kardarans, due to their advanced capital ships have a lower capital ship limit, but have a higher fighter and corvette limit, and frigates stay the same. Hiigarans and Vaygr on the other hand, stay the same except for some of their new ships have a limit on them as well.
Now on to the Flagship class.
Flagships aren't motherships like the Vaygr Flagship, no in Dark Wars the Flagship class is a class of ulitmate capital ships that each race can field only one of. Every race has only one Flagship with the exception of the Hiigarans which have two, but can only have one of them fielded at a time, meaning if the field one of them, they can't field the the other one. The Flagships are:

Hiigaran:
Commerion, an advanced battlecruiser with advanced armor but not very many weapons, 
Omicron, an advanced battleship with lots of weapons but not very much armor.

Vaygr:
The Warlord Dreadnaught, an advanced super capital ship with a mass of missile launchers, laser cannons and plenty of other weapons.

Kardarans:
The Redeemer, an super destructive ship that is armed with five frontal Ion cannons, and twelve heavy plasma cannons.

Dark Progenitors:
The Dark Star, just like Sajuuk, only with a more powerful phased cannon array, faster engines, and more armor.

The Beast:
The Beast Flagship, a flagship that goes for being able to support fleets by being able to build any ship in the Beast Fleet, and using it's many advanced weapon systems.

I've always wanted to mess around and set the ships to have more power and armor. For longer battles and then have some where a Hiigaran Battlecruiser has insane firepower, yet is being attacked by a lot of ships. Is it possible to go into the game and adjust the armor and power? I even heard you could make nukes by setting the blast radius of certain weapons and I thought that'd be cool. Is it possible?
