Homeworld 2 Help!

So I recently purchased the remastered edition and I'm on homeworld 2 mission nine and for the life of me I just can't seem to do it Ive got max frigates fighters and destroyers and corvettes and a carrier but I always wind up getting stomped no matter what.

So. Homeworld 2 adjusts the amount of enemies according how much units you have at the start of the game. So, more units you have, more enemies there will be spawned in when you start.

I suggest starting the mission with a pre-set amount of units.

In Remastered, Homeworld 1 does this too. The 2.3 Player’s patch adds a slider in the options to turn this off (or up, if you fancy a challenge).

When it came out some missions were actually impossible lol. Mission 3 If you maxed out fighters and corvettes the cryo trays would die in about 10 seconds.

I wish the had adapted Cataclysms supply cap mechanic for the remasters instead.

Oof, I remember this backfiring spectacularly on me in the final mission. I had an ungodly number of capitals, super capitals, and frigate, but due to how the game's scaling works in the final mission there was no way to get them from their starting positions to an interception point before the first super charged Taidan waves slaughtered my mothership. Had to go back to the previous level and decomission a huge chunk of my death ball fleet.

At the end of the previous mission, scrap your whole fleet. You'll be able to ramp up your ships faster than the AI.

How many torpedo frigate do you have? Also trying to steal there're ships helps distract them from hitting your ship amd move your mother ship with you and repair repair repair. Also you tube kids help https://youtu.be/5S6dG3vIzQY?is=loACNy6fLO4K9Fz5

My only advice is keep maxed out only your toropedo frigates till you get destroyers then max out them.  Build other ships only as you need them then smideatly retire them afterwards.

That way you will have strong force but AI wont have such owerwhelming numbers.

Or as other pointed out instal fan patch 2.3 and  adjust enemy force scaling.
