Ship crews either spend most of their journey in their escape pods, and are awoken with adrenaline only as needed?(Source: The Burning Life novel by CCP Abraxas.) or live aboard ship much like ship's crews today? (Source)

Homeworld: Shipbreakers - The Prequel to Homeworld

Quote from: PC Gamer
The debut trailer for Hardware: Shipbreakers, the sci-fi strategy game made by some of the people behind the Homeworld series, shows what can be achieved with just concept art, music and magnificently gruff narration. There’s nary a hint of ‘gameplay’ in this video – which tells the story of a shipbreaker’s desire to return home from a mysterious ‘graveyard planet’ – but it’s comfortably the best trailer I’ve seen all year, evoking the similarly beautiful cutscenes from the Homeworld games. Have a gander below.

We don’t know much about Hardware: Shipbreakers, other than that it’s a “persistent multiplayer” “social strategy game” from Blackbird Interactive, a company made up of former Relic staff, including Homeworld’s art director Rob Cunningham and lead artist Aaron Kambeitz. The description on the Facebook beta signup page reveals a little more: “HARDWARE (HW) is a next-generation online social game based on the concept of salvaging resources on a distant, barren planet named LM-27.” Next-generation eh? So presumably it’s going to be on PS4 or the mythical next Xbox as well.

Hardware: Shipbreakers is due out sometime this year, and after watching the following video, you’ll wish that “sometime” meant “sometime next week”. (Thanks to Kotaku.)

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

Somewhere else not paying attention.

Obviously :)

As for the content here, the concepts seems cool to me, but I'm still waiting for a Homeworld 3 to come out.

Old news is old, but very happy the "old Relic" is kind of back together. Plus, it looks awesome.

Someone somewhere will enjoy it, obviously. Don't mean I will though. I have no presence on facebook or twitter or any other site like it and I have no console that is up-to-date. Neither of these will change anytime soon.

This game looks to be promising... to many people. Me, as stated, still wait for a new Homeworld game.

A simple RTS title.

For the PC. That is all I really want. It it's made well and isn't overly exploited shit I'll buy it if it's not divided into 1 million parts and sold one piece at a time (over-use of DLC content etc) and I'll thank whoever created it and moved the story onward.
