I'm just saying Homeworld Remastered was a huge mess balance-wise after releasing that patch. Remember that Homeworld Remastered has four playable races whereas HW1 Classic only had two (nearly identical) races. That's a lot of stuff to balance!
[edit]
Forgot to mention that ballistic weapons are a lot harder to balance. I am not an expert, but you have to take into account projectile speed and maneuverability, turret tracking angle and speed, spacecraft positional armor and flight capabilities, etc. etc. Versus each weapon only having an RNG that can be tweaked in a text file somewhere. Which is probably why Gearbox totally abandoned the game never to be seen again immediately after releasing that patch. (Possibly, they were also reeling from how badly Battleborn tanked.)
I should praise HW2 Remastered for how much prettier it is than HW2 Classic.
