Gameplay
New game parameters, like Military rank, Crew, Honour, Game year, Research score, Maintenance cost, RU max capacity, Unit experience and efficency have been added, see the box below.
Research trees have been improved up to the limit of the game engine, a lot of new technologies, abilities and upgrades have been added.
The player can research upgrades to improve his units characteristics such as "drive", "weapon damage, accuracy", "RU rate, load, drop-off", "repair speed", "shield power, time, regeneration", "hyperspace cost, time, damage, regeneration", "capture strenght", "cloak power, time, regeneration", "sensor range, distortion", and much more, it's not possible in the original game design.

A lot of game features (abilities and technologies) have been implemented:
RU Fusion, allows each Scavenger and Mobile Refinery to generate RUs standalonely;

RU Debris, the player can capture big debrises, detonate them, and salvage RUs.
Remote Monitor, Allows the player to monitor unprotected enemies' data (parameters).

the player has an improved view so he can have full control of the fleet.

Game Parameters
Complex introduce new game parameters to the Homeworld series; here is a list concerning the gameplay structure:
Military rank, represents the player's military career. The higher a player's Military Rank, the more Officers and Crew are available to pilot units, to recruits crew and officers player need Honour points (see below).
Honour, represents how well the player is doing. To increase honour, the player must build units and subsystems, research technologies and harvest RUs but the most important thing is to fight and kill enemy units. Higher Honour leads to a higher Military Rank.
Crew/Officers recruitments, player has a limited number of crew and officers, each ship needs a certain amount of crew and each Capital ship needs a certain amount of officers too, to increase crew and officers player must advance in the military career.
Game year, represents the game time; at the end of every year the game events are processed (RU fusion, RU trade network, RU megalith, Maintenance cost).
Research score, represents the technology status of the player; the player need a certain amount of Research score to unlock the various level/division of the research tree; to increase this parameter the player must research abilities, technologies and upgrades.
Maintenance cost (unit efficency), every ship requires a certain amount of RUs each year to be maintained, every subsystem too, the total maintenance cost is paid at the end of each game year. If the player doesn't have the required RUs available, units efficency and honour will be lost. On the contrary, if the player satisfies the RUs required his units efficency will increase and he will gain Honour points.
RU max capacity, the Player can increase his RU max capacity by building RU Supply (Hiigaran) or by research (Vaygr).
Unit Experience, ships accumulate experience in battle improving their armour and fire power.
Unit Efficency, ships lose and acquire efficency based on damage and maintenance cost parameter.
