the excellent Homeworld
Shipyards site. Their forums
are first rate.
RelicNews
Forums: the first place to go for any general news, information,
and community updates for the Homeworld series. In fact, they
are excellent; while they are run on a voluntary basis by
some Homeworld fans, they also act as the official "unofficial"
forums for Relic Entertainment.

Homeworld Info & Strategy Links
Homeworld's
fairly straightforward and there aren't too many surprises in
most of the units you use. Compared to many RTS games out there,
it can actually be quite simplistic. As a result, there weren't
that many intense strategy guides or sites out on the Web. |

 A
modest but comprehensive, home grown Homeworld info and strategy
site by lone webmaster Bit Shifter.
Its aged a bit now, harks back to 2000 and doesn't look like
its seen much action since 2003. It's emphasis is on the singleplayer
campaign only; it contains a wide range of hints and tips,
walkthroughs, screengrabs, unit breakdowns, game buglists
and other little gems. |

ign

Mirpasec:
Homeworld Research Ship is a Korean Homeworld series fansite
that looks like it goes into detail about the games' ship stats
and some other info. I can't understand a single word of it
- it's all in Korean - but its presentation is quite original
and nicely laid out. You can locate a whole swag of crash keen
fan sites for the Homeworld games from here. |

Paper
Starships |
|
One of
the perks of low polygon counts in 3D models for computer games
is that they lend themselves to making cut-and-fold cardboard
models... and there seems to be a small but thriving subculture
of people doing just that! Paper Starships is evoted to cardboard
cutout spaceship models. You print out the plans, cut along
the dotted lines, fold and glue all the various bits and pieces
together, and hey presto! A perfect reproduction of a spaceship.
There's a few Star Trek vessels, but most of these plans are
for Homeworld, with one or two new models appearing for Homeworld2.
Even some of the complex Kadeshi ships are included. This is
an excellent site, and something completely different. |
