    Check out a new unit database made by ETFreeman with a modern look and plethora of tools and settings you can tinker with. You can find all the usual unit details - including from the Nomads faction - as well as some that were not displayed in older alternatives. It can also be set as your default client Units database (requires client version 2026.4.1 and above) - In client Settings > General > Unit Database. Some of its special features: Browse units by faction & tech tier, or by unit type Compare any units side by side — shareable URLs, section toggles, all settings saved between sessions Game-accurate DPS — replicates the game's own calculations: beams, salvos, fragments, DoT Efficiency metrics — DPS/mass, DPS/energy, DPS/BT, all invertible Custom stat formulas — write your own expressions using 70+ unit properties Covers all factions including Nomads Shows even "hidden" features like ability to fire from transport or missile splitting when TMD hits Installable as mobile app (visit the db with your phone, the suggestion to install it will appear) If you have any feedback, please leave tit at the forums: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/10050/etfreeman-db-feedback-thread

    The remaining matches of the tournament will be played this Saturday at 13 UTC, and potentially earlier depending on who goes through to the next rounds. There will be 1 or 2 loser bracket games scheduled during this week before Saturday as well.

    Getting screwed over by DC's is part of the game Disagree. We should do our best to have disconnects not impact the game. Now I also dont like the current system, but its the system we got. I do think its better than the base simply exploding. The main problem is not the system, but that people dont know how to use it. The way to go about it would be: Switch into other player PoV -> transfer all units -> switch back The person who implemented this system has already left faf, so someone else would have to pick it up. Recently I was making some new features myself that were supposed to help with disconnects, but that was declined so someone else will have to do it. I'm sure someone of the gamedev team will pick it up.

    Hello Everyone, I will keep this short! Recently I have been working on the new faf tournament website https://tournaments.doodlepros.com (the link is the domain I own of my clan) [image: 1785165587303-09761fa9-c878-4ee4-a751-34be1e203f52-image.png] I am in constant contact with hybrid (td lead) and wilson (td member and dojo tourney organizer) with improvements, adjustments and additions to the website. The main goal is to include everything into it (over time all challonge tourney will be imported to the website. This feature already exists and was tested with "Spring Mapgen 2v2 Tournament). Everything means: Overview of the event (such as info about livestreams, rewards, sponsors, game setup, FAQ, rules and so on...) Sign ups Team forming Map veto Score reporting Tourney chat Bracket Map-Overview It even has an automatic rating fetch from faf. Which means that if the TD sets rating to 01.01.2025, it will take the ratings of players of that day when signing up automatically! The website uses your faf-login. Essentially it is supposed to include everything that in the ideal world a TD isnt even needed (not really realistic with faf, but it needs a goal to work towards!). Its supposed to remove as much workload as possible from TDs, so its easier to host tourney. And with this I do not mean the members of the TD team of faf, but any person wanting to host a tourney. So while I am constantly improving QoL and feature on the website based on what I am told and what I see myself, there can never be enough feedback. I would appreciate it if people take a look and comment on what is horrible / needs changing / doesnt work as expected and so on. And for those wanting to host tourneys yourself with the website just click on "Host Tournament" at the top! You will have to "request permission" to host, but I'm basically accepting anyone, just write what you want to do. [image: 1785165453174-9304e548-d767-42f2-916f-81ae10aa9dcf-image.png] You can also host tourneys that are only for you and your friends, which no-one else can join. I mainly implemented this feature so I don't have a random person joining the website and creating 1000 troll tourneys. (not sure if i should have posted this in the tournaments category, but i decided for general since its a discussion!)

    If you want to upload your modification of an existing mod, you need the authors permission. Not sure what you mean regarding "patch". The authors mod will not be overwritten by changes someone else does. If you cannot reach an author (which wont be the case here, he is active in the faf discord) you can open a vault ticket on discord.
