Hoping in vain for a Linux port of this. Aspyr did Civ 5 and Borderlands 2 ... I really want to give them money for this too!

I caved and bought this today, I was hoping my resolve would last a few days for user reviews but it didn't; at least I didn't pre-order it. Which was an achievement as I am a massive fan of both games and put 100's of hours into both, I completed HW2 for about the 8th time only a few months ago.
Initial impressions are good, performance is good and I can confirm it's certainly homeworld. I can appreciate the effort that has gone into this, the cut-scenes in particular look amazing. Any criticisms so far? well the HW2 UI feels a bit intrusive - but it could be that I need to play with the UI scale, and one of the battle-chatter voices refers to an assault frigate as a flak frigate which annoyed me more than it probably should have.
I just got my ass handed to me on the 6th mission of the original campaign, nice to see they haven't nerfed the difficulty - although I suspect it was HW2's difficulty balancing at play as I breezed through the 5th mission.
Also if you use MSI afterburner make sure to disable your OSD otherwise you will get an unreadable mess in the menus.

So happy with the game. The tutorial was crap and kept bugging out for me but its not really needed so not fussed about that.
Just finished mission 6 (astroid belt) and man the game is beautiful. Wish I could make the UI smaller tho.
Forgot about the difficulty in HW, Mission 5 was HARD! Was finding all the missions before nice and happy but then had to restart 5 multiple times... in the end managed to nab myself one of their destroyers and their carrier! WOOP!

So quick chat with mate at work it looks like it may be auto scaling like HW2 did.
Return to Kharak - I had 3 assault frigates attacking the trays, he had 2. That is a scripted scene with no carrier so it must of added one for me.

Also maybe its just me but was a whole Animation scene skipped of the of the destruction of Kharak?
Bought this yesterday and had my new laptop arrive also, not the best of the best but a nice 860m should make things look and run smooth as silk, can't wait to play!
Confirmation on this thread on mission 5. People have a massive mix of enemy units depending on what they took into the mission.
Also they confirm what I noticed - Amount of salvagers required to cap has increased: original game's 2/3/5 to 2/4/6 (Frigate/Destroyer/Carrier)

FWIW I had 4 assault frigates on my return to Kharak. 3 full health and one 2/3 healthy.
Further evidence of the auto-balancing difficulty.
Sure hope they fix any noted bugs in the foreseeable future
Had a crap day at work so decided to buy this. Its infuriatingly good And should run on my laptop
How is the multiplayer?
