I've read all these books, and they were decent reads. However, I should mention some positives and negatives about the series.

PROS:

  • The books are fairly well written.

  • The plot line at least makes some decent sense.

  • Some of the technology and tactics make sense as well, and the neat thing is the concept of light delay in astronomical terms in relation to combat positioning and fleet tactics. This is really the meat and bones of the books and is usually the most interesting to read (in my opinion anyways)

    CONS:

  • There is a lot of deus ex machina with the fleet fights.

  • There is a convenient hand waving of why the main character is so good at what he does. It's literally because everyone else is so terrible.

  • The romantic subplots seemed a bit forced, and constantly talking about 'honor' and crap seems really silly in context of a fight to return home.

    OVERALL:

    I'd definitely check these out if you're jonesing for some science fiction, but there are definitely better books out there if you're looking for something amazing to read.

>I don't see salvage used much. Even in the original HW1C, single player, the strategy to beat missions fastest wasn't to salvage.

Uh, what?

Like every guide, including the official strategy guide of which I had a copy (yes...I know), recommended very heavy use of salvage corvettes throughout the game, not to the extent some walkthroughs do, but salvaging things like the Multi-beam frigates and the heavy cruisers 5-6 missions before you can build them yourself is key to cruising through the mid to late missions.

Even in remastered, I've got a fleet of 200+ including 4 heavy cruisers by the time I'm in the Bridge of Sighs.

The only game I purchased from Amazon has had an Amazon downloader to a custom installer which gave me an executable which gave me a Steam key. Which sounds really ridiculous, and it was.

This.

For some reason Amazon is selling the CE again, not sure why but I just bought one from there and cancelled my non-functioning Newegg order: http://www.amazon.com/Homeworld-Remastered-Collectors-Edition-Pc/dp/B00K6ZUOQE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8&colid=4GVGBRVKOUBI&coliid=I208F8Y08E4PXX

Figured I should post it here too since we were all getting screwed...

From the Amazon listing

Because they aren't doing a retail release of the standard version, it's likely too costly to run up a disc production line solely for a limited edition they're already losing money on.
