It's not unsolvable, but it would require more communication between the server and the lobby. That's complicated to set up and so far everybody that is theoretically capable of doing it has determined that their efforts are better spent elsewhere.

We should use the opening cinematic supcom vanilla faction descriptions

@Brutus5000 I don't think having a skill rating in a PvsAI is helping anybody much. The only reason why rating even exists, is so we can create fair matches. But the entire point of PvsAI is that matches don't need to be fair. If i wanted fair matches, i would play PvP. If i am a PvsAI player, and i want to assess my own skill, i just need to play two or three matches against different difficulty AIs (assuming we have good knowledge of AI rating) and then i know what i can beat, i don't really need anything more finegrained. So while a PvsAI queue would certainly not hurt anybody, that would be a very low priority feature from my point of view.

@jip ok, fair point and well made. My hat goes off to all you do, I have enormous respect for all of your contributions.

Agree with post. It would be nice to just not lose a unit to the commander due to the loss of a player on disconnects. It would be nice to introduce a trend where the ally commander will stay alive and also go into control. Because after the explosion of his coma, you lose the necessary combat units (if any). Also, the value of the bmk is such that in team games, you have the power to stop anything within the limits of balance. Therefore, the situation will be excluded where, after the explosion of the commander, 150 tanks will simply go to your base to kill everything that is possible. Thanks to this, you can also play quite greedily from both sides, making the trajectories of lumps cut to units, which will allow a stronger player to play from the skill, and not aimlessly spend all your advantage to save the rest of the claw-handed territories and calmly deal with t2-t3 mexs.

@dkronie From the mods page, you can uninstall and reinstall a mod in 2 clicks (circled below). [image: 1675623359738-f8a8dd11-af47-4f01-b13c-2a0fcbd3dbad-image.png] [image: 1675623379258-26c8db18-8ff2-43d9-9197-5d84c5301479-image.png]

@Karateka The new website is already live since a few weeks http://faforever.com/

Mapgen is far from perfect, but it does beat starting a game and thinking "how did I play this last time"? Yeah, I'm not a fan of predictable games like Chess, but I guess some people are.

What helps with having low lag is the following Good ping to other players (under 500) Low Latency Low jitter very low packet loss good cpu You can use this site to check your network https://speed.cloudflare.com/ First make sure your home network has no issues like faulty network cables, switches or very old routers that are dying. Also make sure your ISP has not put you on a Carrier-grade NAT, if they have try an op out of it. Also you want to make sure your NAT type is OPEN (you can use Xbox console companion to test this) https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/xbox-console-companion/9WZDNCRFJBD8?hl=en-au&gl=au&rtc=1 [image: 1675459801450-xbox.png] Also while gaming make sure someone on the network is not saturating your download or upload bandwidth. Also check https://wiki.faforever.com/en/FAQ/Connection-Issuses-and-Solutions Hope this helps.

What is that @veteranashe ?

Would you say the Japanese worship Satan because they used kamikaze tactics?

I just Feel that in general your making more work for yourself for something that has already been updated in the last 6 months while other areas suffer that have more a direct impact on the FAF as a Community. just seems that the General Focus is Fix this Update that and not actually using when you have to is full potential.

if u want to play and no one is searching ladder then open a game and play the ai. The only reason something like ladder exist is to get in competion with other human beings.

In huge quantities then bombers getting one pass are still mass efficient against aurora so t1 aa doesn't help. You're supposed to swap into another tech level to get shields, blazes, and so on while leveraging your more mass efficient tanks in defense. If you want to stay t1 then yeah, win air.

@deribus Thanks

@gramps thanks! Rowey already told me his username on GOG but I still appreciate your help!

@arma473 I see, thankyou for your answer.

Something else I've noticed, although it's too complicated to be worth putting into a guide; the weaponry of each faction also is biased towards certain archetypes: Aeon is αeon: it has the most alpha strike damage of any faction, with the Aurora, Fervor, Obsidian, T2 PD, T2 Gunship, Destroyer, Strat bomber, Tempest, sniper bot (though technically not exclusive) and in the most extreme case, Mercy (literally all alpha damage). All of these units live and die on their strong initial punch in a fight. Except for the strat bomber I suppose. Cybran wastes the least DPS: it tends to have the most high ROF units (Mantis, Rhino, Cerberus, frig destro and battleship, Brick as well as ML with constant laser), and the most AOE on applicable units (T2 Gunship, T2 and T3 arty, T3 mobile arty, strat bomber, Scathis). Their tactical missiles can also retain some of their damage even after being hit with TMD since they split. UEF and Seraphim are between the two, although UEF is slightly more alpha strike biased and Seraphim wastes less DPS (lots of high rof and especially beam weapons and 2nd place in AOE) And of course there are notable exceptions like GC, Blaze, and Restorer for Aeon or Megalith, Fire Beetle and Hoplite for Cybran
