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!

    My 5 cents Absolver - yes its really good at what it does but is role is very niche - ironically its best used against its own faction, due to harbingers having shields, usefull against seraphim with t3 mobile shields, limited against uef and absolutely pointless against cybran, making absolver emp would make the unit more versatile against all factions and units, but if not done reservedly could easily become op, I always thought that shield breaker would suit cybran better as they dont use mobile shields. Czar - best used against asf as mentioned above, but rubbish as air to ground despite having big laser, a small speed buff would make it better to use in both situations but something that big moving quickly could look strange, so hp buff would be prefered as it takes only 25 or less asf to kill it Spearhead is annoying as hell, most of the annoying units in faf belong to UEF, lower hp would be nice, also consider to prevent fire when moving. Novax - obviously Othuum - speed buff would be nice to counter short range, another point for seraphim would be to match mobile shield speed with othuums, come to think of it all of the t2 shields move at different speeds to the main fighting units wich has always bugged me. Stealth - is brutally effective but rather than changing stealth costs consider making t1 scouts cheaper, not the build time just mass and energy, navy stealth is far more jarring as distances are much greater I have no thoughts about the mercy its very rarely used, however I have seen it used to devestating effect but I have also seen it acheive absolutely nothing so meh. same with the paragon very rarely seen maybe 1-100 games and ive also seen people with para get stomped, so if you can get away with making one without being punshed then you probably deserve to win at that point anyway.

    Thank you for the reminder. It is not the solution. I'm not sure if the BAR team is even interested in such a collaboration. I'm sure they have enough problems and interests of their own to manage . I personally have no interest of working tens of thousands of hours towards a project that all existing contributors of FAForever lack the collective experience and expertise to pull off. And none of those hours would be paid either. It took more than a decade for BAR to be in the state that it is now. And it will take us just as long. Even if we fork their project as a starting point. The real issue that we've been experiencing is the malicious actors. These won't go away with a new engine. And I don't often agree with Ftx, but I agree with this: @FtXCommando said in You guys ever thought if moving to a new engine?: You obviously can’t do that when BAR is missing a whole tech level, new models will need to exist. Don’t see the point in porting over a game that plays differently, is called differently, and looks differently. Just create a new game at that point. With a new engine everything will be different. Everything will feel different. Players will experience the game different. If we built our own engine and/or game then it will in all likelihood be a different game. The average FAForever player is part of a picky and limited crowd. Picky as in that other RTS games that work just as fine did not scratch their itch. And limited as in that as far as I can see it is not financially sound to take up such a project. That means we are both unable to satisfy the audience. And the audience is likely so limited that even if we can satisfy them it would be financially still be a disaster.

    Such a long waiting for the sweet Revenge was not in vain.. having underestimated their opponents, the arrogant ones were punished! In the wide seas and dark plains from different maps, the enemy commanders of dp Clan were dying and losing battles after battles, having managed to win only once on the Seton's Clutch.. again.. And with the final score of 3-1, Yow Clan was victorious over dp Clan ! From 31.08.2025 RESPECT goes to: Swatoslav Wifi_, Neytron Banani ZLO [image: 1756905593811-%D1%85%D0%B0%D1%85%D0%B0%D1%85%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BA%D0%B0.jpg]

    It's probably my fault for never being part of any competitive scene but I had no idea it was frowned upon to say gg when the game is over. This has been informative.

    @snoog said in New account in FAF: The FAF forums have become more entertaining than FAF itself these past few months. Holy hell these endless threads about moderation are so inane. Do y'all not have anything better to do? Someone asked for their account to be deleted, and then made a new account at some point later in time? What the hell is the problem? I've done this myself in several games. Why do you even care? Just play the damn game. reported.

    @Deribus @CDRMV Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure, unfortunately. I hadn't worked on this type of unit before. So I learned something, too. Great
