Title: Homeworld Fleets Post by: Eco-Mono on March 20, 2006, 01:18:14 am Quick question: how many ships are actually in a homeworld fleet? Is it actually an infinite number, or something more like 255?
Title: Re: Homeworld Fleets Post by: Halleck on March 20, 2006, 01:58:48 am An infinite amount as far as I know.
Title: Re: Homeworld Fleets Post by: Vela on March 20, 2006, 11:44:57 am An infinite number, I think.
There is nothing in the text files of the game related with what should happen when you conquer a world, so I suppose it's impossible.

Internally, you're just killing the same ship over and over again.

Title: Re: Homeworld Fleets Post by: VOiD on March 20, 2006, 10:58:42 pm Yep, trying to beat a homeworld fleet is a perfect exercise in futility. However, it can make for an interesting competition among friends; ie. how many ships do you manage to kill off before you're blasted into oblivion. :D

That's actually a bit fun - take a saved game where you have resources enough to do what you want and then pick out a team of escorts then go (don't use the toady dweeb) attack the Sa-Matra. Bonus if you get to see the Sa-Matra itself ;D Title: Re: Homeworld Fleets Post by: JHGuitarFreak on March 21, 2006, 12:38:21 am Yep, trying to beat a homeworld fleet is a perfect exercise in futility.
