The largest combat ship in the Hiigaran navy, the Battlecruiser has two long range Heavy Ion Beam turrets. These weapon systems allow the Battlecruiser to engage targets at extreme distances, making it a deadly foe for most capital class ships. A complement of four pulsar turrets and four kinetic burst cannons enable the Battlecruiser to engage strike craft intent on disabling key command, propulsion, or weapons subsystems. With proper frigate and corvette support, the Battlecruiser is the heavy-hitter of many fleet engagements.

Heavy Ion Beam turrets and Arbiter Cannons lay waste to Capital Ships at long range. A strike craft bay and a complement of four Pulsar Turrets enable the Battlecruiser to engage strike craft groups intent on disabling engines, weapons or ability subsystems.

"One of the best new ship designs of the Hiigaran navy is the Battlecruiser. The Battlecruiser's capabilities are best used as the flagship of a dense strike group. By forming a strike group around the ship, you're assured a balanced force that's ready to defeat a wide range of adversaries. The Battlecruiser is designed to fight and destroy other Capital Ships, and provides the mainstay anchor of any task force." - Dan Irish, Executive Producer

"There is a new battlecruiser that is the mainstay of the Hiigaran fleet. While there are ships like the Battlecruiser, bristling with weapons, we've ensured that all ships are useful throughout the game. Bigger doesn't mean invulnerable. Fighters maybe be smaller and weaker, but their speed allows them to swoop past slower defenders and sneak in under the firing arcs of bigger ships. Without a proper balance of combined fleets, it is possible for a fighter squadron to disable even a Battlecruiser. Have a few Corvettes escorting the Battlecruiser and the situation would be far different." - Dan Irish, Executive Producer

This is the first Homeworld 2 vessel identified from a screenshot, appearing in a Relic website graphic that was leaked and then hushed up in November of 2001. It's a very, very large warship, and heavily armed.

Now that we can see the underside of the ship, the weapon picture becomes clear. The large turrets on the bow are twin Kinetic Burst Turrets; there are two more underneath port and starboard. The central turret topside is the heavy ion cannon; there is another underside. There are four pulsars, two each port/starboard. The only thing not accounted for in the weapons list above are the four box-like structures (two topside, two underside) that appeared to fire ion cannons in the 2002 PCGamer pics. Asked about these structures, Relic's Dan Irish replied: "These structures do not impart or control any abilities. Think of them as racing fins. The battlecruiser is, after all, a bit of a hot rod."

There are also now docking bays on both sides of the ship. Josh Mosquiera has said that the battlecruiser can repair damaged fighter squadrons, but not build anything. It has two slots for subsystems, listed above.

New patron Elkwyn says "hello", and your response is scarfed Homeworld Shipyard content that you don't own - but think is cool?

Sheesh. Yesterday we had smiley duels and death wishes from you. Today we have fantasy screenshots of a totally unrelated game series. What's for tomorrow: Warez links to cul gamz u lik?

Young man: this is not a chatroom. This is not your personal webpage. Please behave accordingly.

Elkwyn, welcome to the Org and my apologies the the, ummm.... enthusiasm displayed by some of our fellow members. Hope you didn't get any on you.

No problem admiral666, that's part of what we do here in the Entrance Hall: get our new members oriented to how things work here. Looks like you've "seen the light", so to speak. We appreciate your cooperation. We do actually have a forum here where we discuss other games - it's called The Arena; check it out.

Your extensive use of smiley's is fine - they help express emotions better than mere words do.

But please do be careful of one thing: (I know you were merely play-acting) but threatening to harm or kill another specific Org member violates our forum rules.

"I will slaughter you on the R:TW battlefield, admiral" = OK

"Die, admiral, Die!" = not OK. See the difference?

Welcome to the place we total war gamers call the .org

If you need just ask, don't get or else would not be nice to you, but most important is to have fun.
