Is it still worth playing?

Relic Entertainment's 2003 real time strategy game, the sequel to Homeworld, in which Hiigara answers a new enemy, the Vaygr. Units move in a three dimensional space, with the mouse and keys together setting the height of a destination. Everything comes from one currency, Resource Units collected by harvesters, which pays for both ships and research, so every game is a choice of how much of each. That money builds a fleet around the Mothership, which makes all but the very largest ships, and losing it ends a single player game. Its ships come in classes, Fighter, Corvette, Frigate and Capital Ship, and the larger ones are more powerful and durable but much slower. A fleet built around one ship you cannot afford to lose still puts every battle at risk today.
