Is it still worth playing?

Relic Entertainment's 1999 real time strategy game for Windows, set in space. The Kushan, on the desert planet Kharak, build a mothership to carry 600,000 people to the ancestral world Hiigara, and find Kharak destroyed on the maiden voyage. The mothership is the centre of everything. Harvesters mine resources and deliver them to it, the only currency, and it builds every ship. Those fleets move freely in all three dimensions, and the camera can follow any ship. Over the 16 level campaign the fleet carries over from one level to the next, and you choose the Kushan or the Taiidan fleet, which changes ship designs but not the plot. A fleet that has to last the whole campaign, moving in three dimensions, still makes every battle in space worth planning today.
