The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    You will only see this on dual gap where unit mix does not exist. In "normal" games you will see the sacus die when or if they are under your navy. It doesnt have to be to navy, but definitely torpedo bombers as any naval force should have cruisers, which makes it very costly for the enemy to shoot them down

    First of all FAForever.com has a news hub, yes it requires you to click on the link which says news, but it allows the main page to be cleaner and more informative to the user. I imagine a good proportion of people who visit the website for the first time will get all the information they need and the little effects like "Currently hosting x number of players" or the Global map of players show new people that it is active, without pushing important information aside. More isn't necessarily merrier in this case. https://imgur.com/a/m8g7HMH I've linked the image above as I think that's the bigger issue at the moment. People get Supcom FA but don't get transitioned to FAF because they don't know what FAF is, let alone get to the website. Maybe its worth using the Official FAF YouTube to just go over what FAF is, where to find it, what are the features and other activity and put it as a feature video so people can come off watching their favourite Gyle video, or watching the Chris Taylor interview to find themselves watching some sort of tour/guide of the client and community where the client can be sold to people who have never heard of FAF before. All it takes is 1% of Yuri's or Gyle's uninformed Veiwers to see that and you have potentially over 1000 people informed about the client. This is my opinion on how things can be approached so feel free to scrutinise, personally though I think the website does a good job of selling the client. Getting people to the website may be a more effective use of your time at this moment. Quick other note, the Facebook page and patreon page also seem very lacklustre, Facebook just shares Gyle casts while the patreon hasn't had a post in over 3 years.

    Only exception as far I know are featued and fxExplosion mods. For a mod to be ranked, one of the mod admins need to set it so if its Sim.

    Well, mostly means exactly that. My AI will always attack the closest enemy units first. Except the targetmanager has a high priority target like nuke, paragon or incoming experimental. There are also 2 different attack vectors for AIR experimentals. The 1st also attacks the closest enemy, the second tries to fly in the middle of the enemy base. Have also in mind there are different AIs with different tactics. Did you test Relentors RNGAI or the Swarm AI from Azrael ? You can join us on Discord (link at bottom of my AI post) for more information.

    It’s not about preventing some exploit, it’s the fact that people would just stack games so that a low rated guy can walk into the enemy base and ctrl+k and then his stuff goes to the better player. This then results in share until death becoming default which in turn encourages people to play comfy teamgame maps where dying is either unlikely (gap) or easily recoverable (canis) rather than more open ones. Sheikah has recently created a sim mod for a share condition that blows up your units but not your structures.

    The matchmaking tab will probably display your total number of games (all gamemodes added together) in the near future. I don' t know the plans for the in-game lobby, though.

    Back in the day you could stop a bomber mid flight and slowly move backwards by clicking behind the bomber. The bomb cooldown was also shorter. This allowed you to eg. land 3 bombs on pgens in a quick succession. Nowadays you can't hover backwards with t1 bombers anymore (well you can but it breaks after a few meters and is super slow, also takes some skill to pull off) and it's pretty limited with t3 bombers too. With the higher attack cooldown it's better to do short passes anyways. Yes you can still micro the bomber, you just can't* go backwards anymore. The usual use case for micro is to stop bomber mid air to let it reload so that you can get multiple bombs off in a single pass (but not against a single target like before)

    go into freeview, then ctrl-v again with no spacebar, this will give freeview but with mexes and healthbars and you can adjust height, 0 and . (ins and del) on the number pad will rotate the view and there is no height restriction. if you hit space it will exit from this view.

    I would suggest changing the number for format to something like "10.0k" and then "100k". That would cover things up to 1M games.
