Teun-A-Roonius

yes, creepy.  and the 6-winged Seraphim were covered in eyes. That could also server as cool inspiration for a ship.  except instead of eyes, lasers.

You should try the book of Hezekiah. Its a great read.

Anything Old Testament isn't Dark Age, so there's a whole book you're clear to have at.

Well, since the definition of 'Dark Age' is pretty absolute, I guess you just prefer myths of what may be over what supposedly was.

That and Star Wars, cause it already happened way over there.

Well, if you're trying to call me on my ignorance of any knowledge on that subject: you got me. I have none.

On a side note, what do you call the age of swords, shields, armor, mysticism and such? That's kind of what I was aiming for.

That and furry guys kicking ass.

Are we off topic yet?

That's true. Are they individually built vessels like frigates? Do they come in squads like fighters? Are tehy built attached to a larger vessel or are they free roaming? And how are they going to count against fleet supply? And what are the varieties?

I have to admit that I am also concerned about whether or not they'll be terribly useful. In Homeworld, corvettes are more useful in #1 than #2 paritally because there is less AA in #1 and #2 dumbed down their evasive maneuvers. I can't imagine how that will work in Sins, where dynamic movement only exists for fighters and, even then, doesn't offer much evasion. Will corvettes be flak fodder or will any cannon aim for them? Are we looking at quantity or quality?

edit: Love the sexy Advent, Riddleking. I'll join that Unity.

They should also get some nifty abilities, as I think that was mentioned.  I wonder if the different factions will have different techs for them, within the same race.  There's no telling what those could be but some concept art to tide us over would be very welcome.

 corvettes are the G.I.Joes of any fleet with over-powered offensive abilities. They can single handley infiltrate enemy lines without being detected and cause serious damage. 

In other words: There the mini super weapons you can get mid game.

Immune to turrets and phase jump interrupts.

yeah the "without detection" phrase was just too catchy to leave out. 

Well, if the corvettes are anything like these, they will be a game changer.

As far as the concept art, they are a radical departure from what we know.

This Advent ship look like a carry over from a 'Diplomacy' pact with the Vasari.

This Vasari vessel looks like a Manta Ray from from a demented Vasari to rage psychological hell on humans.

But this one, it has the smoothness of Advent ships, but that circular disk above. Floating shield, Frisbee of death. WTF!!!

It also have shades of a Vasari pact in ship design. All in all, Rebellion will be the must have RTS game for 2012. After getting and playing this game, only thing left is to sit back and wait for the world to end. Maybe??

Yeah, could be a while at this rate.

@ Bison: Yeah, I feel that Homeworld has set a standard for me in many ways. It's a beautifully designed game. If you have number two, try getting the Complex expansion.
