Visual aesthetics are the leading force in this mod. The vessels look great, the animations of ships (such as the reapers) when they prepare to fire are wonderfully done. The music is very impressive and actually enjoyable to listen to as the game goes on. The only bit of a bummer in the graphical department is the strange error I seem to be getting with planets, however I am sure that is an easy fix.
Game-play is a bit different, however. The lack of a research tree makes the game feel a bit shallow, and the AI's constant creation of only dreadnought class capital ships makes versing AI rather boring. Geth fighters are extremely powerful. When playing as the reapers the Geth sent in a plethora of fighters, which none of my larger vessels could target (although I noticed this to be a problem of any larger ship versus smaller craft), and I had to produce wave after wave of fighters to even begin damaging the Geth. In fact, by the time I left the game, the skirmish was still going on.
On the subject of larger ships versus fighter craft. The only time I noticed my larger ships firing on fighter craft was when they had previously target larger ships. Only then would their anti-fighter weapons actually fire. When engaging a Cerberus AI, I had around 10 fighters harassing their command center and a dreadnought. They didn't fire back. When engaging a reaper AI, however, their larger ships were able to fire on my fighters without a problem.
Ship building wise, I feel as if build times are a bit too slow, and the lack of any dedicated ship building facilities makes production of a large fleet extremely time consuming, and makes investment into dreadnoughts to bolster production capabilities a necessity.
All in all the game is a good bit of fun, however needs work in order to rival some of the other mods in Homeworld 2 (Halo Homefront for example, being a good bit of fun even for only having one playable race). I can't wait to see what comes next!
