Mission 3
Guide to Mission 3 of Homeworld Remastered. Learn how to defend the Sarum Shipyard from Vaygr attackers, capture enemy frigates, and counter strike craft.
- 1You'll start with your Mothership arriving at the Sarum Shipyard, only to find it already under attack by the Vaygr. Your first priority is to help defend the shipyard.
- 2Soon after, reinforcements will arrive, helping you to repel the initial wave of attackers.
- 3Once the immediate threat is dealt with, you'll begin a resourcing operation in a nearby asteroid field. However, this peace is short-lived. A Vaygr Carrier will hyperspace in and start attacking your resourcers.
- 4Deploy strike craft from both the Shipyard and your Mothership to deal with the Vaygr Carrier and its escorts.
- 5While the fighting is still going on, send a few resourcers to begin repairing the Sarum Shipyard.
- 6Just as the repairs are finishing up, a major Vaygr assault will begin. Three Carriers will hyperspace in, launching a barrage of Infiltration Frigates, Heavy Missile Frigates, Assault Frigates, and a seemingly endless stream of strike craft.
- 7The Shipyard will complete construction of a Carrier, which will be transferred to your control. Use this new Carrier to begin building Flak Frigates immediately. These are crucial for dealing with the enemy strike craft.
- 8Simultaneously, start building Marine Frigates. Their primary role is to capture enemy frigates, which will bolster your own fleet and weaken the Vaygr.
- 9Work with your Pulsar and Gunship Corvettes to maintain air superiority while your Flak Frigates deal with the enemy strike craft.
- 10Use your Bombers to target the enemy Carriers' Frigate and Fighter Facilities, disabling their ability to launch more ships.
- 11Once their facilities are destroyed, focus on taking down the Carriers themselves.
- 12After defeating the Vaygr forces, your Mothership will set a course for the Oracle outskirts.
- Prioritize building Flak Frigates early in the major assault to counter the overwhelming number of enemy strike craft.
- Don't underestimate the power of Marine Frigates for capturing enemy frigates. This is a key strategy for turning the tide of battle.
- Keep your resourcers safe while they mine ore; they are vulnerable to attack.
- Use the Shipyard's repair capabilities to your advantage.
Mission 4
Complete Homeworld Mission 4: Gehenna Outskirts. Destroy hyperspace inhibitors, capture Hyperspace Gates, and destroy the Command Station.

- 2Capture the Hyperspace Gates.
- 3Use newly captured Heavy Missile Frigates, Assault Frigates, and Infiltration Frigates to destroy a resourcing operation.
- 4Destroy three Carriers reinforcing the enemy fleet.

- 6As soon as the last of the hyperspace inhibitors are disposed of, initiate a strike hyperspace to enable the quick destruction of the Command Station and its protectors.
- 7Destroy the Command Station.
- Heavy Missile Frigates and Assault Frigates will be destroyed one by one during the assault on the Command Station.
Mission 5
Your guide to Mission 5 in Homeworld Remastered. Learn how to ambush the Vaygr, capture their ships, and secure the Oracle.
Alright, this next mission, Mission 5, is all about setting up a nasty surprise for the Vaygr. We're going to use that dust cloud to our advantage, get our resource operations going, and then spring a trap. Pay close attention, because timing and ship deployment are key here.
- 1First things first, our Mothership is going to jump into a nice, thick dust cloud. This is our cover, so the Vaygr won't see us coming. Once we're in, get your resource collectors out there to start gathering materials. We need to build up our fleet and research new tech to make sure we're ready for what's next.
- 2While we're building up, we're going to lay down some minefields. These are crucial for protecting the Mothership while we're still vulnerable. Think of them as an early warning system and a nasty surprise for anyone who gets too close.
- 3Eventually, the Vaygr will launch some probes our way. This is where our scouts come in. You need to intercept and destroy these probes *before* they can transmit a warning back to the Vaygr fleet. If they send a warning, the Vaygr will know we're here and will be much better prepared.
- 4The Vaygr, realizing their probes went silent, will start sending out three garrisons to investigate. This is our cue! They'll be weakened by our minefields, so now's the time to counter-attack. Focus on destroying their frigates and capturing them if possible – captured frigates are super useful. Try to use your fighters to draw fire from their Flak Frigates, keeping your heavier ships safe.
- 5Keep an eye out for a Vaygr Shipyard. Your captured Destroyer will be perfect for taking this out. After you've dealt with the shipyard, you'll spot an Oracle. You need to capture this with a Marine Frigate and bring it back to the Mothership for study.
- 6Here's the twist: once the Oracle is on board, it's going to take over the hyperspace core and initiate a jump. Just hang on for the ride; we've completed our objective.
- Don't underestimate the minefields. They can thin out the Vaygr forces significantly before they even reach your main fleet.
- Capturing Vaygr frigates is a high priority. They add to your fleet strength without costing you resources to build.
- Use your scouts effectively to intercept those probes. It's a critical step to ensure the Vaygr are caught off guard.
- Protect your resource collectors and research facilities. A strong economy and advanced tech are vital for the later stages of the game.
