The Resource Collector was a non-Combat Ship designed for harvesting resources and later ship repairing, used by the Hiigarans and Vaygr in Homeworld 2.
Overview[]
The Resource Collector is a critical ship in the fleet as it permits the harvesting of resources. These resources are necessary to construct new vessels and to research technology upgrades that can either create new vessels or upgrade existing ones.
The design allowed it to operate in extremely cluttered environments, making it easier for it to hide out of sight from the enemy. The Collector gains the ability to repair other vessels with its claw-like appendages, which is first used to help repair the Shipyard Naabal in the Sarum System.
Trivia[]
- Due to a feature of Homeworld 2 that auto-harvests every resource available on the map when the mission concludes, harvesting resources becomes irrelevant by the halfway point of the single-player campaign. While harvesting can still be done in any mission, resource collectors are best used as repair vessels, rather than for collecting resources, as by the mid-late game, the player will have thousands of resources to not need to bother with harvesting during missions.
