 Queen's Dominion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One of the keys in making this music come alive is the playing of Alan Kushan on santur, an instrument that sounds like a cross between a zither, a koto, and a prepared piano, lending the aural palette a very oriental cast.
Kushan makes this awkward instrument dance and sing with a deeply delved authority and weight.
Also contributing mightily is percussionist Jerrod Cagwin, a player whom I've only encountered once before (and I just can't seem to pull up the context, although I remember him being a player of significance), but who here consistently establishes very evocative percussive underpinnings.

It follows the trials and tribulations of a young boy who is taken to ‘battle school’ and trained to become the admiral of a large space fleet.
We dealt with this issue during a final texture pass of the Kushan ships, but you can still see some discrepancies and I think that’s what you are remarking on.
We could declare Homeworld “The official videogame of totalitarian dictators, mafia bosses, druglords, terrorist masterminds, cult leaders, militant fundamentalists, and shadow governments” and send them complementary “special” copies.

 IGN's Top 100 Games
This was the first 5-on-5 basketball game where you could actually tell the difference between the players on the court, not only by the graphics (and short shorts), but by the special moves that changed the way we played videogame hoops.
It was hard not to become connected to the Kushan as they fought across the galaxy to regain their lives and their home while teetering on the brink of extinction.
The fact that it was also the first fully 3D RTS (meaning you could move units on the Z axis as well) only helped create wicked challenges in a new type of environment.

 Neowin.net - NBA rejects EA exclusivity proposal - report
The effect of EA's deal with the NFL is still being felt this week, as rival sports publishers now find themselves not only worrying about EA's relative marketing power, but its newfound ability to pull the rug out from under them completely when forced to react to any genuine threat to its own sales.
Its starting to look like the only way ESPN Videogames will be able to survive is if they strike back and do the same thing to MLB or NBA..
I dont agree with it, i think its going to hinder the improvement of the games year to year, but EA has got to be stoppped.

 Pegah
The instrument, which Alan uses, is also his own invention, which is designed after the traditional Persian Santur (hammered dulcimer), an old instrument with a sound box and several sets of strings.
Alan Kushan, using strings from Piano, Harp and Harpsichord, from a new and unique instrument designed and hand crafts the sound you hear in "Time Traveler Suite".
This instrument creates a bass sound not found in the family of santur, yet Alan has created this instrument using the santur trapezoidal box concept, and plays it using santur hammers.

The beast would probably consume a few ships, but they would almost certinaly get far more detailed reports out then the Kushans did.
Instead of "Ah crap we're being taken over or something I don't understand-" it would probably be something like "Help some kind of nanotechnology is taking over the ship we-".

The Taiidan [Homeworld]: These galactic assholes drop the hammer on an entire race, relocate what's left to a desert planet with minimal technology, then threaten them with extinction if they develop hyperdrive technology.
And when the Kushan people forget (time will do that) and build a ship to take them back home, the Taiidan raze the entire planet, leaving but only roughly 600,000 Kushan left in the universe and hunt those few mercilessly.
Being able to see their humanity, and to connect to it personally, is what gives the story pathos and weight.
