that flying claw just, flew right up and snatched that destroyer out of the middle of your fleet and ran away. Your shout was like, so purely confused and offended it made me laugh much harder than I thought it would
It's actually quite lucky: you didn't notice it, but in the Graveyard just as you first noticed the Junkyard Dog, your ships blew up the closest hyperspace gate. If you hadn't destroyed the gate, the JD would have carried your missile destroyer in to the gate, instantly turning your ship into a unmanned derelict which would be placed somewhere on the map. You would need to go and salvage it back, while the JD kept going for your ships - the greatest lure to cause you to bleed ships. However, since the gate died before the JD got there, it seems that the ship programming (since it's an automata even IC) must have gone bonkers and just stayed in place. Oh, and good work figuring out the Old True Method of Not Giving a Fuck about the graveyard. Old Homeworld veteran's seal of approval! XD
The last time I played this game, I captured nearly all of the ion cannon frigates in this level. Took quite a few hours. And the next level, they hyperspaced in, and were a huge line going off the map. Made the next level nearly unplayable because of the huge enemy force generated and the time it took to get all the ion frigates back to the mothership for defense. Good times though.
I remember when I played a custom map the gave each player a junkyard dog, so funny how you could just drag off their most powerful capship and bring it right into a wall of ion cannons. First time I encountered the dog in the campaign however I lost nearly 3/4's of my fleet before I killed it, had to restart, but it was an epic memory!!!!
your the best captain shack i really enjoy your space engineers lets play and i was wondering if you could make a hour long episode. keep that robot and valefor in check captain
Many years ago when this game first came out, I won Bridge of Sighs By luring out one to three Ion Frigates at a time and then salvaging them. Captured ships don't count against your total. Although time intensive this gave me a huge fleet which, if I remember right, I took to the final engagement.
Sorry for the double dost but you inadvertently just mentioned one of the most hardcore challenges of the original homeworld. Capturing every last one of those Ion Frigates was a major challenge involving a carrier and lots of cloaked salvage corvettes, not a minor challenge in the original, if you got to far into the sphere it would collapse and make it so all the ships went straight to the inhibitor, you try defeating 100+ frigates in one massive clump!!!
I spent several hours capturing every last one in the original version. It makes the last battle a cakewalk when you send a wall of ion cannons across the map.
Patrick Green Very easy with a handful of scouts to distract them all. They'd do nothing but chase the scouts all day and I;d pick them off with salvagers.
+Patrick Green if you spent the game capturing everything possible you wouldnt be able to hyperspace after the sphere mission, due to the line not being able to get into formation and being stuck on the edge of the map.
Junkyard Dog. I just flew my "throwaway" Assault Frigates along with one Carrier full of Heavy Corvettes to the right most section of the map to avoid the junk yard and its auto gun sentries. Left my Grav Well near the MS and used my other Frigate fleet to bait the JY Dog to loot one of them. Trapped that sucker with the Grav Well and pummeled it with my Capital fleet(lasted all about a minute 15 secs). Then ordered the Assault Frigates to assault and clear the way towards the landing bay where the rebels were keeping the transmitter and launched a wing of Heavy Corvettes to get there. Lost a couple to the auto guns but hey it worked and mission complete.
Those salvage dogs nicked my cruisers. Over everything else including my massive ion frigate wall, they had to go for my cruisers. The pains I went through to tow them back too. The glorious sacrifices the noble many salvage corvettes. Cryeverytime
the junkyard dog is the ultimate scavenger being able to single handily take any ship (other then the mothership) He just lucked out and got the warp gate as what the junkyard dog reaches that it jumps away the ship then needs to be recaptured to be friendly. I just used a gravity generator to stop the dog in it's tracks but blind run it stole one of my cruisers which I later found and recaptured
In this mission I was like "f it! MOVE OUT!" and sent my fleet straight through the center nonstop and lost a lot of ships. Yeah didn't think that one very through did I.
Shack, david here, I think you should use a divided strike squadron. you must destroy the Taiidan carrier that you have(send him into suicide) and the build another one. Then, make your carrier able to make fighters. Separate them in two groups: 1 Heavy cruiser, 1 or 2 carriers, 3 destroyers, a lot of frigates( make equal groups of them with multi gun ones an heavy ones) and 5 repair corvettes. Two groups like that and you can make he best strike groups ever(if they remain alive)
They must have changed the code in bridge of sighs as the iron frigates used to be in one giant sphere around the hyperspace inhibitors. U could draw the off one by one and capture them. Had a line of them a mile long in the end. Took about an aeon to do though.
*jokingly* "We could run around with salvage corvettes and gank a bunch of them" You laugh as though that wouldn't work but it's the exact strategy I used to win that level xD
"We now know the location of hyperspace gates though and we also know that 10 bombers can get the job done.. with minimal casualties" Meanwhile... "Group 2 defeated" all attack bombers got blown up xD
When I did this mission I was able to just take multi gun corvettes and a swarm of fighters straight through the flak then run back to the mothership lol
i used a group of 3 stealth generators and a flight of salvagers to steal 30 ion frigates, cycling the stealth gens so i was never seen. had quite the fleet after that.
Did anybody else ever play the old homeworld and actually use the salvage corvettes to get all the ion frigates its the only way to go past the build cap my last battle on the campaign i had close to 40 or 50 frigate class ships it was a slaughter soooo many ion beams everywhere it was glorious
be careful of the junkyard Dog as it can drag away even your most LARGEST vessels and drag it away to somewhere in the map then that vessel which was drag away returns as an enemy
Ugh... that Junkyard Dog. Probably the biggest nasty surprise in the whole game. Hilarious though, despite how annoying it is. I kinda feel like the Homeworld devs threw that in there just to troll players (and especially the ones who tried to gank lots of enemy ships)... There is a trick to stopping it though. All you need to do is make a gravity generator, which will immobilize it (and any other enemy corvette-size ships), and then wallop the hell out of it. As it is, you still managed to wallop the hell out of it WHILE it was stealing one of your destroyers (a not-unremarkable feat, since the Dog was supposed to be nearly impossible to kill while mobile by a "normal" fleet).
I believe I sent one cloaked fighter to kite the Ion frigates one at a time and capped them. I'm pretty sure I took all of them. 'Twas epic...I may not have. It's been quite some time.
that flying claw just, flew right up and snatched that destroyer out of the middle of your fleet and ran away. Your shout was like, so purely confused and offended
it made me laugh much harder than I thought it would
+purplehayabusa He should have tried to steal it, it seems so much better than his salvage corvettes
Right it is only a corvette class ship
That junkyard dog had more health than a freaking carrier.
It's actually quite lucky: you didn't notice it, but in the Graveyard just as you first noticed the Junkyard Dog, your ships blew up the closest hyperspace gate.
If you hadn't destroyed the gate, the JD would have carried your missile destroyer in to the gate, instantly turning your ship into a unmanned derelict which would be placed somewhere on the map.

Episode 8 of my Homeworld Remastered LP. Hope everyone has a wonderful day today. Enjoy! :D
Awwww yiiiiiiis~~~!!
TheXPGamers when is space engineers Ep. 14 coming?
TheXPGamers hey shack you know you can scrap the carrier you captured to build one that can produce fighters, corvettes, and frigates
I apologize if you said this and I didn't hear it... But are you gonna play HomeWorld 2 after this
When is the next RAW coming?
RIP Bob from Accounting

Did the same but half the fleet instead still good times
I laughed extremely hard when you announced your plan for the carrier, captain.
DROP THE BOOT ON THAT JUNKER! ~presses giant fire button~
My first instinct when I saw the junkyard dog is "he should probably try to take it with salvage corvettes"
Welcome to TheXPGamers, where we create problems nobody needs.
-DougDoug
I laughed my ass off at the junkyard dog ship. "on hello!" "who a- hey! HEY! all ships fire!" 15 minutes later... "Keep Firing!" XD
1 hour yes thank you
As i watch this I feel like im watching a TV show. the cinematic are amazing as is the story. this game is a masterpiece.
10:54 the moment I was waiting for! The panic!
31:50 another great moment!
Shack, keep playing this. Your the only TH-camr I can find that plays homeworld.
Skyhawk996 scott manley plays homeworld too
I remember when I played a custom map the gave each player a junkyard dog, so funny how you could just drag off their most powerful capship and bring it right into a wall of ion cannons.

your the best captain shack i really enjoy your space engineers lets play and i was wondering if you could make a hour long episode. keep that robot and valefor in check captain
Oh you son of a.... Cutting of right at the best part! Worse than Television! DAAMN YOU SHACK!!!
PS: just kidding awesome vid :D
Sgt.TrollzorR . That's shak for you!Dass ich dich hier finde...
Brownie-ein Braunbär Du wirst mich an vielen Orten finden O.o
"Juckyard dog, HEYYYYY!!!!!!!!" LOL

This episode is SO GOOD man! Great story telling
Shack pissed me off on this one when he didn't just destroy the autoguns with the corvettes and instead flew them right by to get destroyed!
Sorry for the double dost but you inadvertently just mentioned one of the most hardcore challenges of the original homeworld. Capturing every last one of those Ion Frigates was a major challenge involving a carrier and lots of cloaked salvage corvettes, not a minor challenge in the original, if you got to far into the sphere it would collapse and make it so all the ships went straight to the inhibitor, you try defeating 100+ frigates in one massive clump!!!
Patrick Green So many frigates!
I spent several hours capturing every last one in the original version. It makes the last battle a cakewalk when you send a wall of ion cannons across the map.
In my game, I used a sensor array which broke the sphere. I then cloaked my fleet and destroyed the inhibitor. I did it quickly.
Patrick Green Very easy with a handful of scouts to distract them all. They'd do nothing but chase the scouts all day and I;d pick them off with salvagers.
+Patrick Green if you spent the game capturing everything possible you wouldnt be able to hyperspace after the sphere mission, due to the line not being able to get into formation and being stuck on the edge of the map.
Ah this mission... I spent a few hours stealing a whole bunch of the ion cannon frigates with Salvage corvettes. Good times... good times.
Those tactics.....made me cry
Shack, you really want to get things DONE in this episode. Great episode.
Junkyard Dog. I just flew my "throwaway" Assault Frigates along with one Carrier full of Heavy Corvettes to the right most section of the map to avoid the junk yard and its auto gun sentries.

Those salvage dogs nicked my cruisers. Over everything else including my massive ion frigate wall, they had to go for my cruisers. The pains I went through to tow them back too. The glorious sacrifices the noble many salvage corvettes. Cryeverytime
My favorite tactical move was a swarm of salvage Corvettes leading the ion frigates into a minefield. I built up a huge ion frigate squadron
more... more... I'm addicted to this series
Over 1 hour.. god i love you!:D
YES! Finally!!!
59:55 "Wait they are literally throwing rocks at us?" XD I guess they have just run out of ideas on how to stop you.
imagine constructing and launching something of that size into space. Thats insane
space stations are built in space
I used to throw half a dozen probes through to the end of the yard at different levels then drink beer & try to salvage the theif,lol
ALL HAIL SHACK
That kinda hurt my ballsack!
IT RHYMED I HAD TO DO IT
the junkyard dog is the ultimate scavenger being able to single handily take any ship (other then the mothership) He just lucked out and got the warp gate as what the junkyard dog reaches that it jumps away the ship then needs to be recaptured to be friendly. I just used a gravity generator to stop the dog in it's tracks but blind run it stole one of my cruisers which I later found and recaptured
You keep saying "get it done" and it's making me think of cakefarts lol
You deserve more subs. Your videos are the best
You fired More ordinance than that one scrap drone has mass in it and it lived.
Makes sense.
i know this is old but i love this game too and i would have love to see a clise up on the research ships when they make that donut dock
fan theory suggests the junkyard dog was what classified as the salvage corvette of an ancient race.
"I'm tempted to get rid of a destroyer" completely forgetting that he has a useless carrier of the enemy
9:45: "Let's just move in the main task force to deal with this." No, no, NO! DON'T!!
My favorite mission for stealing ships.
In this mission I was like "f it! MOVE OUT!" and sent my fleet straight through the center nonstop and lost a lot of ships. Yeah didn't think that one very through did I.
I remember spending hours at one point salvaging a ton of those ion frigates. Basically trivialized the last mission.
the game decided to give you a taste of your own medicine there lol. also, rip in advance to all future members of pathfinder squadron
Shack, david here, I think you should use a divided strike squadron. you must destroy the Taiidan carrier that you have(send him into suicide) and the build another one. Then, make your carrier able to make fighters.

Holy crap I wrote a lot. Sorry Shack, I hope you read this nd you keep this in mind
The junkyard dog tried to get revenge for all the stuff that you stole
I feel bad for those fighters at the beginning. They got promoted to group 3 and then they all immediately died... God rest their virtual souls.
Back when I played it originally I stole every ion frigate on the map it took me hours. But the fleet I had afterwards was huge
It would have been hilarious if you had used salvage corvettes to hijack the junkyard dogs
They must have changed the code in bridge of sighs as the iron frigates used to be in one giant sphere around the hyperspace inhibitors. U could draw the off one by one and capture them. Had a line of them a mile long in the end. Took about an aeon to do though.
*jokingly* "We could run around with salvage corvettes and gank a bunch of them"

+Heating56 IKR
That guy shut down fleet command🙊
"We now know the location of hyperspace gates though and we also know that 10 bombers can get the job done.. with minimal casualties"
Meanwhile... "Group 2 defeated" all attack bombers got blown up xD
Shack I love the same kinds of games as you it would be awesome to do like a community game night or something. That would be fun.
Go captain, taming the junkyard dog
When I did this mission I was able to just take multi gun corvettes and a swarm of fighters straight through the flak then run back to the mothership lol
"That probe is a mistake", Captain Shack-2015.
Nicely played!
The graveyard mission is soooo easy with 2 or 3 gravity generators. The JD is just a sitting duck
XD His destroyer getting stolen.Zero Shits given.
i used a group of 3 stealth generators and a flight of salvagers to steal 30 ion frigates, cycling the stealth gens so i was never seen. had quite the fleet after that.
Yay more homeworld
I really miss this game.
The interceptor and scout squads should be a punishment. Like a penal battalion that only the worst criminals are sent to.
(Evil laugh recommended)
"colonist sees scout ships being mad" Ah shit
I actually sent 4 repair ships, each fixing the one ahead of it, and went through the junkyard against all the turrents...
nice, keep the good stuff rolling.??
Did anybody else ever play the old homeworld and actually use the salvage corvettes to get all the ion frigates its the only way to go past the build cap my last battle on the campaign i had close to 40 or 50 frigate class ships it was a slaughter soooo many ion beams everywhere it was glorious
When there are ships all alone and shack has scavenger corvettes. FREE REAL ESTATE
finally more homeworld
I know right, I can't get en
Enough sorry
be careful of the junkyard Dog as it can drag away even your most LARGEST vessels and drag it away to somewhere in the map then that vessel which was drag away returns as an enemy

Bro, you were still attempting to build a heavy cruiser. That's what you were maxed out on.
One might wish to move the mother ship with the fleet so it cannot be caught with it's pants down
Max Evenson The first game doesn't allow you to move the mothership, except in multiplayer.
rookieroo24 thanks for clarifying
Probably because the enineers were lazy and didn't put on the engines before they put on the hyperspace generators, I AM LOOKING AT YOU JIM!
In your space engineers survival you should give alterian an upgrade when you have alot of resources
He's only a player model.
come a little closer then you see, come on come on come on, things aren't always what they seem to be
Wolfpack Squadron? Was that a Wing Commander Prophecy reference?
I captured most of there ships by mining, and bating. One at a time, I took them with my Salvage Covets.
Jevil would be proud
Qoustion to you captian .should i buy stardrive 2 or home world 2 remasterd?
Start of tje video, lets Hope he salvage/steal all thoese Units in the graveyard :3
RIP Bob from Accounting.🙏
32:30 mine, mine, mine!
6:40 Anyone else notice the Hiigaran insignia on the TAIIDAN proximity sensor?
I wonder if the salvage corvettes would have worked on the asteroid thing, you could have used it for yourself :D
Is there any warhammer40k mods for homeworld 2 because there starships are really cool.
:)
+The Emperor Not that I know of. I'm sure the idea is floating around, though.
cue the Vangelis 26:22 , almost blade runner
You should do a star-drive 2 full lets play.
KKILLER GAMING he said he is probably is going to do one after he finishes RAW
God Of Light what are his requirements for finishing RAW because he said he was not going to take over all the CIS planets just the main ones
i dont know
Right at the good part damn u shack
hi will home world remastered work on widows 7
You only have part of the actual research ship. Its like 4 modules is 1 research ship. It makes research faster i believe.
I can't get HD footage... On my kindle fire HD....
WTF TH-cam!!!!???
i have been playing empire at war and it is so good i'm about to get republic at war but so far good game
GET IT DONE
the research module? will become the ship when you are completed all of them
