Issues with Mesa drivers - OpenGL 3.3 Compatibility Profile required
 This is a known issues that causes the remastered versions of the games to=
 not work with the Mesa drivers. It is discussed in the bug report 41551.
 The games require the OpenGL 3.3 Compatibility Profile that should be supp=
orted by the Mesa drivers starting from version 18.2.0. Please check if the=
 compatibility profile is supported by your setup with the command glxinfo =
 grep version. If so, then set/export the environment variable MESA_GL_VERS=
ION_OVERRIDE=3D3.3COMPAT before launching the games.


This patch adds a vast unit cap option to multiplayer/skirmish, and adjusts=
 the unit caps closer to the classics. However Homeworld remastered has eng=
ine limitations around unit caps; including a max of about 250 units per cl=
ass, and no unit cap options for the campaigns.

As for the festive ghost of Homeworld future, there are a lot of big projec=
ts just on the horizon. Veteran modding outfit Phoenix Interactive are gear=
ing up to launch three total conversion mods in the new year. Battlestar Ga=
lactica: Fleet Commander, Mass Effect Reborn and Stargate: Space Conflict. =
While older builds of these mods are available for the original game, the r=
emastered versions appear to be a far more ambitious set of productions, wi=
th the Stargate mod promising a scripted campaign with voicework lifted (wh=
ere appropriate) from the TV show.

While threadbare, only partially functional and long out of date, there's a=
n early demo of Stargate: Space Conflict here on Steam. If nothing else, it=
 features some flashy UI work, wholly replacing Homeworld 2's main menus. P=
hoenix aim to get the first wave of Stargate remastered releases out Januar=
y 2020, followed by Mass Effect sometime in June, and Battlestar out by the=
 end of the year. Is three total conversions in development too much for a =
single team? Probably, but I'm excited to see how the Stargate launch early=
 next year goes, if nothing else.

To celebrate the launch of the remastered stand-alone expansion, GOG.com is=
 giving big discounts for all of its "Homeworld" titles until the end of th=
e month. The "Remastered Collection" can now be picked up for $12. "Emergen=
ce" is currently priced at $9, while "Deserts of Kharak" is available for $=
17.



The game takes place fifteen years after the original game. After destroyin=
g the Taiidan Emperor and reclaiming their ancient homeworld of Hiigara, th=
e Kushan re-establish their clans, or "kiith", in a great council, though s=
ome clans have precedence over others. The Mothership, with Fleet Command a=
nd the hyperspace core removed from it, remains in orbit over Hiigara as a =
shipyard. Meanwhile, the Taiidan Empire has collapsed after years of civil =
war, and the new Taiidani Republic has arisen as an ally of the newly minte=
d Hiigarans, while the Imperialists and their Turanic Raider allies continu=
e to raid both Hiigaran and Republic space.

Following this, the Kuun-Lan makes contact with a Hiigaran carrier known as=
 the Caal-Shto, which takes the majority of the information that the Somtaa=
w have on the Beast so that they could return with reinforcements. Unfortun=
ately, the Caal-Shto becomes subverted by unknown means and leads the Kuun-=
Lan into a trap, where the Hiigarans have to fend off a massive Beast fleet=
 led by a mothership class vessel. This ship was no other than the former r=
esearch module that they jettisoned early in the campaign. It was not only =
capable of communication, but was also seeking their origin point of the Na=
ggarok. Despite these setbacks, the Kuun-Lan manages to locate their sister=
 ship and finally get vital information to their homeworld, whose territori=
es were on the verge of buckling with both attacks from the Imperialists an=
d the spreading Beast infestation.
