oh, I like.

Also I could have sworn there were already 3 of these; 2 in space and 1 on a planet?

Deserts of Kharak are more considered a side to Homeworld instead of straight sequel.

Actually 3 in space! Don't forget about Homeworld: Cataclysm (nowadays available as "Homeworld: Emergence" on GOG due to Blizzard trademarking the Cataclysm name ). Wonderful game, just as enjoyable as the original HW to me (and thus considerably more enjoyable than HW2). Think Moby Dick in space.

Reserving all other judgement...
Co-Op is a BIG selling point for me, and I lub me some Homeworld.

I wouldn't mind a bit more of Deserts of Kharak like gameplay (but with better AI). Maybe by the time they get to HW4 they could alternate missions between space and planets like some kind of Homeworld/Dune2000 like mashup surrounded by an epic storyline.
