Counter to collector scuttle bomb

Games Homeworld HW1 Strategy Guide

works 100% for me

if your are bballing collectors keep your distance watch your bball do not let it any where near the collectors.

best of all select that ball around middle scout and tell it to dock then re-guard middle scout the bball will then chose a new target the nearest target of highest priority. [IE coll with orders to kami the bball so they can scuttle it inside.]

also u can just use sphere and box every collector and controller on the screen too.

only time i ever lost a swarm/bball/sphere to a coll bomb is if i was not paying attention to it or i didnt care cause i didnt need those fighters cause i already had the game won or something like that.

You can also take 2 scouts out of that battle ball, group then 1 and the rest say group 3.. have the group 1 attack all of the enemy colls in that area in sphere formation and have your group3 gaurd one of the scouts from group 1.. that works nicely

I found that with that, the only problem is that the 2 scouts in group 1 can get crossfire and kill one of them .. lol

to avoid that, 3 scouts in group 1 in sphere attacking colls and have group 3 (your ball) gaurd the odd one out scout that doesnt have a scout across from it.. it works nicely :F
