@jip said in Ideas for Disconnect Mitigation: I've also thought of introducing the ability to (almost) immediately vote-kick observers or dead players as they time out. To reduce the waiting time when it doesn't impact the game itself My concern with this is that people in team games often rely on a dead player's help I would suggest: members of the dead player's TEAM can kick their own dead teammate after just a brief delay, like 10 seconds of non-connection players that are not on the dead player's team need to wait longer, unless at least 1 other player has already voted to kick

Thank you funkoff for being the only person to contribute years of service to FAF for your personal avatar.

@jip said in What if? Atlantis has stealth: That is considered a glitch and can get you banned if you get reported This doesn't fall under any (bannable) exploit. As far as I am concerned, it's an intentional mechanic since base SupCom, right? If it is bannable, then why do Jamming and Stealth work in transports, to begin with? Shouldn't those be considered exploits, too, then? It also takes time to set up requiring multiple factions. It's a team effort to get working. ~ Stryker

I've played games where these kind of 'home-field' advantages work out to help balance by preventing pushes. I can actually see how it might apply to Supreme commander, given that the 'anti-rush' measure is usually the commander, and the commander is limited in naval combat. That being said, it's important to know that this exists, so I thankyou for the visibility, while being unable to comment on the balance implications. Thanks.

Nomads is still imbal and people already complain a lot about the current 4 factions.

Yeah that change was shitty and the option to deactivate it doesn't work properly, it also deactivates the ringing of the mexes.

@drpatrickstar said in Unassisting one factory with onather shouldn't kill current cue: So if I have a factory assisting another one, and I want to upgrade the assisting factory to t2, if I cancel the assist order directly the current order gets cancelled and the buildtime and resources wasted. Unfortunately that command doesn't help. The "stop and cancel all factory orders except the current one" command tells said factory to finish whatever it is currently building, then do what you tell it to. In the example you gave, the command I mentioned ("stop and cancel all factory orders except the current one") would have the assisting factory complete its current build, so what you descibed : "current order gets cancelled and the buildtime and resources wasted" wouldn't happen. It would, instead, finish its current build (the one it inherited from the factory it was assisting) before starting its T2 upgrade.

I forgot that this was even a feature, and now I'm excited to try it again.

@Balthazar is the maintainer, we could start by asking him

Thanks a lot for everything you've done for the coommunity Rowey!

@closed said in Status of Game? It sucks!: And I don't know if it is only me, but when I quit FAF, it stays most of the time in the task manager and I have to end the task. Maybe this is worth mentioning, but the problems my (closed) playgroup has had seems to also involve the ICE adapters, and people not being able to quit the game properly without a black screen and involving Task Manager. We play tonight, so I guess we have to cross our fingers that some reinstalls we did help.
