So I was a big fan of the original Homeworld back when I was a kid. And I remember it fairly well. Something felt off about the interaction with the Bentusi in mission 4.

So I noticed that there is dialogue missing. Before they hyper-spaced off, either after you'd accepted their deal or time was up, they'd warn you about the Turanic raiders (this would also allow you to quickly accept their trade). Now they just hyperspace without saying anything (and in my game at least) the game zooms out to sensor manager and then straight back in (as if there was gonna be a cutscene) with a new objective saying to defend against the Turanic raiders.

The lack of this dialogue/cutscene cuts out a lot of the contextual info of the original and makes the Bentusi far less benevolent and helpful. They just zip in, trade, zip out, barely saying anything.

Is this a bug or just a bizarre design choice?
