Hmm... Anyone else experiences some heavier load on graphic cards with Homeworld? My 970 is getting hot pretty fast in it which wasn't such an issue with Dying Light (if we compare shitty optimisation).
If your cards get hot under full load, it's time to work on the cooling in your case. Why buy a strong card when you will never use its full power?
I have good cooling in my rig. I just wonder if I'm the only one with this issue. This game is putting more heat on my gpu with all maxed out 1080p than Dying Light 1.3 with everything maxed out except viewing distance. It's not like it hangs my PC or my graphic card is flying off. Just wondering nothing more.

Do you have a frame limiter installed? If not, I strongly suggest you use one.
I will check it more thoroughly at home and thanks.

vsync ingame should do the trick ?

I cant finish the mission where you end up on an asteroid field
just use ctrl atack box. it works. dont forget to retarget pieces. salvage 2 destroyers and 8 ion frigates from the previous mission. i had 2 repair corverts on ms to, but were kinda useles. position the camera behind ms, and target only the asteroids heading there. ms can take a few hits without to much trouble. be prepare to restart mission ) there is a bug when you are unable to continue even if you are free.

If your graphic card overheats on nominal frequencies, than you do NOT have a good cooling. Why? Because the cards are tested to operate at acceptable temperatures under 100 percent load.

I strongly suggest you don't cripple your high performance card with anything like that. If you want to limit framerate, VSYNC is more than sufficient. If your card overheats, work to improve cooling in your case, namely provide free passage for the airflow, place one fan where the airflow enters and one fan where it should exit the case, optimize your cables so that they don't block it, clean up your passive heatsinks from dust, or replace stock coolers with someting more efficient.
No point rendering above your monitor's refresh rate.
Only those benchmarking render as high as possible. Games like Euro Truck 2 render at over 800fps on the title screen if not limited - that causes a LOT of unnecessary heat.
Oh and idiots who think high FPS = better performance.

I built about 10 of those ION ships but they get blasted to pieces within 1 minute lol
go back mission or two and "farm" more ships and then enter that mission, when mission start quickly capture those 2 destroyers with salvage corvettes, also make a lot of attack bombers (i had 25-30) and it should be easier.
Yeah, the trick is to draw the destroyers and ion frigates away from the Bentusi, otherwise they just get smashed up in a few minutes. In contrast to keewee's advice, I never bothered with salvaging, it seemed to take more time than I had, and the corvettes tended to get destroyed too quickly.
You need at least a destroyer of your own, preferably 3 or more on that mission, to absorb punishment.And make sure you are attacking ALL the frigate+ class ships at the same time immediately after the cut scene!

I never build corvettes and frigates. I go straight for the big cruisers. They rock/paper/scissor anything like butter, except for fighters/bombers. You'll have to churn out lots of fighters and bombers yourself to keep enemies from rushing you until you get your big boys out of the yard though.
You guys seem to forget that the first one is also using Homeworld 2's difficulty scaling. The stuff you faced isn't necessarily what he's up against. Many people also reported that missions become unbeatable if you have too much stuff. Having a smaller but diverce fleet is basicly more managable and the scaling handles it better.
Just saying.
And yes, it's all reproducable. You can test out the scaling yourself.
Finished HW1, asteroid mission was the worst, lost most of my fleet there and then kinda limped through the next two missions before it became impossible. After I redid the asteroid missions with a better tactic so most of my fleet survived (basically just hid the fleet, had 5 repair corvettes on the MS and a few ion frigates to break up the really big asteroids).
I didn't notice difficulty scaling during the missions I had to re-do, I was facing the same size enemy fleets, and my fleet size was 3-4x the size of the first attempt. Last few missions I pretty much had 100% fleet capacity while 80% of it sat by the mothership, yet it was still very easy.
If you take care never to lose much of your fleet (i.e. restart as soon as you do) the game becomes really easy. Your fleet becomes overwhelming so you rarely lose stuff and it just snowballs from there.
All the fighter class ships except bombers are basically useless as soon as you get corvettes (they die so fast, it's too much of a money sink.). Corvettes are also useless as soon as you get gravwell generators (15 assault frigates + 2 gravwell can take out huge fighter/bomber squads without losing anything on your side). Ion frigates also useless as soon as you get destroyers, they die too fast to enemy capitals or even frigates.
In the end my tactic was mostly keeping the destroyers on the front line, assault frigates and gravwell being backup in case I encounter small ships, plus 4 support frigates to repair my capitals. Had 60 bombers to take care of enemy cruisers since they rip through my destroyers (until I got cruisers of my own).
Anyway fun game, I'm pretty sure I finished the original but couldn't remember anything about it.
i have 3 salvaged heavy cruisers before i was able to build my own.
and now i want to build, but i canot. 3/2 heavy. and i dont want to recycled 2, just to get one.
damit.

Yeah, good catch, fighter formations seem kinda broken.
All formations are broken. No unit will stay in formation if given an attack order.
My favourite tactic from the original Homeworld is to have a wall formation of Corvettes concentrate fire on single targets, with a couple of repair ships behind them. Now, as soon as you give the attack order they start behaving like fighters. Evading shit instead of holding the formation.
And that's just one example. Using the sphere formation + guard order doesn't do shit. They create a sphere just not around the guard target, making it useless.
