Default Good astronomy in Homeworld 2 (Spoilers)

Right now i am playing Homeworld 2. Great game


There is some surprisingly very good astronomy in this game.

In one mission you hyperspace into an asteroid field. The asteroids are all very far apart from eachother. Most of the area is made up of samll pebbles of asteroids or gass. No star wars asteroids in sight.

Resourcing has you mostly sending resource collectors towards a large resource rich asteroid and mine it. Not every asteroid contains the necesary materials.

Another mission descrobes the breaking up of a ancient ship. This ship brok apart 10,000 years before current time in the game and due to time the pieces of the ship has spread out over a very large area.

The spaceships act and looklike real spaceships. Instead of banking, most ships stop forward motion and turn on its axis. Large capital ships movie like they have a ton of mass, and small strike craft movie like they should. If a craft blows up while in motion, it will continue to move as it blows up.

I am only a third of the way throught the game. I will say more good astronomy as it develops.
