do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

I have finished HW2 twice now.

A few comments...
- Flak frigates are useless. Fkak frigates are going down far too easily in fights. Torp frigates can fulfill both the roles of Flak and Ion frigs. Torpedoes can hit fighters pretty well too, although anti-cap ship torpedoes are not as deadly as ions.

- Someone said corvettes were useless (I think this was in the HW2 demo thread) but they are invaluable asset. It is surprising how anti-fighter ships have hard time shooting down 'vettes... Beware Vaygr Assault frigs...

- Why the heck Hiigaran destroyer has only on turret in it's bottom side...

- The mothership... Why on Earth it can't have proper defensive weaponry. I hated the Mothership's poor weaponry in HW1 and still it is as bad as before...

- I was hoping to see the Mothership's weaponry getting better through weapon research during the game, but noooo... :(

- It was strange there was tech improvements for speed and armor but no weaponry. Oh well...

I always use the Hiigaran logo, it kinda stuck with me after playing the first Homeworld the story was too good for my to abandon the Hiigarans :p

Mr. Fury agreed on all points all frigates need more armor! Especially flak but I find guarding them with a small detachment of destroyers helps nicely.

My first mod will be mothership Ion Beams :p

Bombers dont get owned by torpedo frigates (bommbers move faster)
