Yeah i had problems with the skirmish modes. I either tried to invent
stuff and waste dmoney and did not build enough units to defend myself
:(

Or i did not event decent enough ships to defend myself. Its a fine
balance you have to find. At arround about that point i got bored and
deleted it :)

Many people complained that the game was frustratingly hard. The patch makes 
things much easier -- some would say too easy.

I agree with Xan, you've got to get thinking in 3d, and start multi tasking 
asap with this game. It doesn't let you slouch. But its worth it once you 
get your giant fleet working well...

And just a random bit of info for you.

Homeworld 2 has dynamic enemies. This means that if you go into your next 
mission with a tiny fleet due to combat losses, that's ok, your enemy will 
also start off with a much smaller fleet to match you. The same goes in 
reverse, if you go into the next mission with a huge fleet, expect a force 
that can fight back.

Good luck, don't give up, the ending is worth it for those who can actually 
beat the computer.
