Pirates in the Mist is the best 1 on 1 i ever played. 

The Pirates in the Mist is named well, all right. All resources in the map are either nebula or gas clouds. And the 
Pirates? They are there allright. A lot of them. Luckily, they don't chase your units, but it can get pretty ugly if you 
stumble on to them. 

The layout is good....if you can think in 3D. The map forces you to use the 3D features of Homeworld a lot. Rawdeal 
didn't make the mistake of taking the 3D out of a great map by putting the mother ships on the same level, either. The 
 enemy Mother ship is placed above or below yours. 

Game play is great fun. The pirates keep you on your toes, while the low default starting resources can make small 
fighter skirmishes common. Proper watching of your RCs is a must, or they will fly right to the Pirates and get blow 
away. 

The Background is also good. It uses a cool orange nebula background, and it also has a planet below you for a 
little extra coolness. 

My only complaints are these. First, the pirates are also not so fun at times. Stumbling in to them with your fleet is not 
fun, as you don't win anything for killing them. Another problem is capturing them. I wiped out the Pirate fighters and 
then had a easy time with the rest of the game, because i captured the entire pirate fleet. Ended up with a shit load of 
Ion Array Frigates. In fact, i even go some Mutli-Beam Frigates that i found on the map. This can imbalance things 
a bit.And of course, this is only a 1 on 1.
