The ship sizes shown here follow the original model sizes converted from feet to meters (which is the most acceptable interpretation as far as I know). This showcase won't consider any possible resizing that could happen in-game for any reason. It may not be definitive, but it's nice to imagine the scale compared to the little hiigaran astronaut. 😃
I just can't understand how Blizzard can trademark the word "Cataclysm", especially since this game had already used it first, and they just barge in later on and ask the name to be replaced with something else? Plus it's just a common word, you can't possibly expect everyone to pay Blizzard a royalty fee every time they use this word. Ridiculous.
I love the design of the Multibeam Frigate. The odd kind of hunched figure, and the sound of its beams firing is like a god coughing. BWONK. BWONK BWONK. "Watch us go to work on 'em."
Sadly, they cannot. The source materials and code were lost, making a remaster impossible without reverse engineering everything. Possibly AI could be used to upscale textures and fix audio and heck maybe even figure out the source code but until then it’s not possible. 😢
There is one detail in somtaws Archangel, that I don't like. Bottom ion turret is moved back, so when there is halfsphere of one modification, this ion turret can't fire forward, so ships firepower getting lower.
like law said. The source-code is gone. They can try to reverse-engineer it from existing copies, but that can take a long while. At that point, might as well remake the game from the ground-up.
@Razgriz_01 While a remake would be nice, I am equally hesitate, the game has such a unique atmosphere that it would take alot of work to try and emulate it

To hell with Blizzard, this will always be Homeworld Cataclysm. The Galaxy Salutes Somtaaw, The Beast Slayers!

That astronault had more poligons then the entire fleet combined.pixels
Love the Ramming Frigate
Really awesome that you put both versions of the Kuun-Lan. Much respect.
All the ships are really cool designs, but the Bentusi inspired Dreadnought is the best.

BWONK. BWONK BWONK.
"Watch us go to work on 'em."
That's right baby! Beast slayers
Good timing, there was a rattling in the manifold!
Uh, Roger Command ah, can you speak up!?
Good job. Nice to see cataclysm again. Now get them to remaster it.
wasnt it remastered already?

That early 2000s lack of polygons. Gotta love it!
Somtaaw Kiith-Sa approves this video as reliable. May sands of Kharak bless you.
u know what warcraft can go to hell this is and will always be the only game with its original name Homeworld - Cataclysm to me...
best game so far why eve online and other are more famous than hw

I wonder why its that homeworld cataclysm never became part of the homeworld remastered collection?.😮
Lost source code I believe

Yo you should do the Taiidan Republic fleet as well!
No spoilers, but I plan to do entire classic Kushan, Taiidan AND Turanic ships soon! Take “soon” as “anytime in the next decade haha”.
you plan on doing the beast fleet? im curious what all the textures look like close up, esp on captured ships
oh nvm you have one, i coulda sworn i searcheda nd didnt find it
