Putting them in front against Beast Carriers and Heavy Cruisers is an absolute no-no. Heavy Cruisers are prone to infection, so the player must be alert every time a Beast presence is nearby. However, all that power comes with a fatal design flaw.

A Heavy Cruiser is more than a match for two destroyers. Taking up a measly SUs and being stronger than a Dreadnought, one would think this behemoth is the most juicy prize for a bunch of workers. Good luck defeating the Taiidan fleet to get hold of them. Two of them are parked near the Imperial base in the nebula, so its difficult to capture them. 3 Imperial destroyers will beat 2 Somtaaw destroyers. Destroyers move fairly fast, can hold their own against all ship types, and take up far fewer SUs than Somtaaw destroyers (24 vs 38). This is the most desirable salvage target, and luckily it is available this early on in the campaign. The following is a list of salvageable combat ships that briefly describes their specs and ranks them in order of salvaging priority. Definitely do not listen to Tactical if you want to complete the campaign well. Their primary drawback is their lack of armor upgrades and repair bots. This is because they take up fewer support units than Somtaaws' counterparts, don't receive a health penalty, and make their appearance in earlier missions. Now that you know all this, it is recommended to rely on salvaging to enhance the strength of your fleet in the Single Player Campaign on Normal and higher difficulties. You cannot capture carriers, fighters, or corvettes. Ion cannons and projectile cannons have improved accuracy vs strike craft in HWC compared to Homeworld. Captured ships start off with the energy cannon upgrade. So heavy cruisers and defense field frigates can be infected but destroyers and ion cannon frigates cannot. Any ship with a Beast counterpart is susceptible to infection. Captured ships have the same upgrades as they did prior to capture, not the same as your tech tree. This does not hold true for captured ships, they have normal HP regardless of difficulty. Very Easy gives your ships 6x health, Easy 3x health, Hard 0.85x health, Very Hard 0.70x health. All Somtaaw ships' health points receive modifiers based on level difficulty. Here are the general points important to jot down for both single player and multiplayer: To play the game on Windows 10, you must activate Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode, as older games aren't compatible with newer windows. The campaign is arguably the best aspect of the game, with the dialogues, in depth lore about the factions, and the cool ship design concepts. For those who are nostalgic about the Homeworld series (*cough* ShaneWallis123 Talthos Tyran Vizoris Somebodynobody10 *cough*) and would like to try to play HWC once more, this topic covers simple tips for the campaign.
