Both machines displayed the game smoothly. I did have to download the patch to because interestingly, the Intel and TNT cards are the only cards which give problems. Every ship, from scouts all the way through to massive capital ships, is amazingly detailed, right down to markings on hulls and individually animated gun turrets. One of the reasons the graphics are so stunning is because the engine doesn't have to draw complex backgrounds. Relic could then concentrate on designing more complex units than other games.
Explosions are beautiful, while the nebulae backgrounds are simply breathtaking.
Homeworld captures the feel of a dog-fighting style of combat. For instance, fighter craft are swift and nimble, making it much easier for them to evade the fire of heavier craft. Cruisers, frigates and capital ships are huge. They move and turn slowly, yet take large amounts of damage and are capable of handing out similar. You control of an armada of space vessels, support ships, resource collectors, squadrons of small fighters and fleets of massive cruisers.
