A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

So this and the armada threat have me wondering, are there any games where you're directing fleet-scale battles in 3d space?

Empire at War came out in 2006 but it's undergone a minor modding renaissance lately -- check out the Empire at War Remake and the Thrawn's Revenge/Fall of the Republic mods on the Steam Workshop. The ground battles are garbage though, just spam AT-ATs and autoresolve

That does look pretty cool, but it looks like it's all on a flat plane. I'm hankering for something in full 3d space, where you / the enemy can attack from any directions, hide behind objects, etc. Full on enders game directions are arbitrary kinda deal.

I need to get back into HotDS, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'll have to check out homeworld. Thanks y'all.

Probably? But Fallen Order was a big deal I think and came out fairly recently.

I’m guessing it would not be advisable to try to play this with an Xbox controller?

It's not pleasant.

I bought a HOTAS off SA Mart to play TIE Fighter. And Descent. And mostly because COVID has killed any sense of impulse control, but it was a good deal...
