Despite the gap between the stylized space wars of Homeworld and the more realistic space combat in The Expanse TV series, there's still a intriguing similarity in the designs and profiles of Homeworld spaceships and Expanse spaceships, particularly in the gameplay previews Blackbird Interactive has released for Homeworld 3. Related: The Mandalorian’s Space Battles Are Better Than Anything The Sequels Didĭevelopers of Homeworld games use a very cinematic depiction of space travel in their game's mechanics - partially to emulate the Star Wars/Star Trek space scenes mentioned above, and partially because realistic space travel can be very technically complex (as seen in simulation games like Kerbal Space Program or Children Of A Dead Earth). Despite being in the weightless vacuum of space, the vessels of Homeworld move around as if they're in an atmosphere and dogfight with each other at practically point-blank range. Large spaceships like Frigates, Destroyers, Battlecruisers, and Carriers correspond to the naval vessels in service during World War II - powerful and tough, but slow-moving, while swifter vessels like corvettes, interceptors, or bombers correspond to propeller-driven fighter planes and bombers.
