Who's buying? Who owns it?

I'm eager, but have to wait until the next paycheck or two in order to budget for a $50 game if I decide to buy it at full price.

Reading the positive reviews of this has be playing thru 1 and 2 remastered (news there is a major patch coming soon for 1 to fix the major complaints finally...).

But anyways, this game seems to be well reviewed for a new RTS based in the Homeworld series and story, being a prequel to the first game, and taking place on the ground seems interesting. While it does seem more basic it looks like a lotta fun, and once they fix the lacking skirmish maps, and other issue reported I'm looking forward to playing through a good story.

Also keep in mind the folks behind this were also the same folks behind the first Homeworld so long ago now. :D

Thoughts?

I have this game high on my wishlist, but have been holding off. Some of what makes me hesitant are some of the user reviews which are probably accurate, which point out one of the stupidest RTS AI's they have seen, being humorously easy and doing the dumbest things.

I think it's still being offered with Homeworld: Remastered added on free, but I guess I'm awaiting a sale.
 
It's on my wishlist as well. Will probably buy it when it's on sale for 50% or more but otherwise probably not.

I haven't seen a RTS I like on first glance for years now.
 
Want it, waiting :)
