    Hey @HerbertFreir, I've randomly come across this post. It's a common thing in pretty much every online game that people will flame each other. All it is is a coping mechanism so they must not admit they made a mistake themselves. It's really just the easy way out for being anonymous on the internet. There is no way of saying this is common or uncommon across a community as a whole as it's mostly invididual. Estimating how often it will happen to you is nearly impossible. Sometimes you will be flamed three times a day, sometimes it won't happen for two years straight. But there is a tendency: The bigger and the younger (on average) the community the more likely it is that people will flame, as they don't expect to bump into the other one ever again. FAF is a small, "well aged" community, and therefore less likely to be that way, as you for sure will bump into someone again. What usually helps is narrowing down the amount of anonymity to a minimum by playing with people you know through joining smaller clans / communities. I, for instance, happen to run a beginners group within the FAF Dojo. It's me and my co-trainer running training sessions with up to a dozen trainees (0-1300 rated) three times a week, in the EU evening hours. Our youngest trainee is ~20 years old, our oldest is ~60 years old. We have gay / trans people, furries... We welcome everyone and respect each other. It's about having fun and learning together. If the above is appealing to you and you could make (some of) the training hours, feel free to join our Discord server and reach out to me. If you can not make my specific training hours, please still feel free to join, meet people you could play with, and maybe find another trainer that matches your time zone.

    Thanks for your replies, I tested Eternal Strategic Icons, in combination with Penguin's Icon Mod and ACU Highlight (those three mods seem to be compatible), and it looks a lot nicer with the size increase of 150%

    May not be relevant. Had a similar issue with steel series that did this even with surround disabled. Only thing that worked was installing equalizer apo and configuring as SFX/efx in configurator for the headset, then it finally would stop messing up in supcom. Other games i could still set a profile to switch to surround. There is also a nice gui equalizer called peace that can be installed to control the equalizer apo.

    Okay that makes sense then. Generally things like these game properties are limited to ASCII. I am surprised it didn't give a more informative error but will make sure to restrict it properly

    If I am not mistaken the error doesn't prevent you from doing anything. You can still play the game through the client.

    With "Advanced Strategic Icons" and similar mods, the icons are bigger for T3 mexes than T2 mexes, and T2 mexes have bigger icons than T1 mexes. This does make the level of each mex more clear. The higher-level mexes are more noticeable. This doesn't exactly solve your problem, which is that you want to notice low-level mexes that ought to be upgraded. UI Party not only has an accounting of your mexes (telling you how many you have of t1, t1 upgrading, t2, etc.) but you can click on those icons to "select all." So you can click on the t1 mex icon to select all t1 mexes on the map. If you're zoomed out and you do that, you should quickly see where the "safest" ones are that you can upgrade. There is also a keyboard shortcut for "Select nearest onscreen lowest tech idle mass extractor." That is also a way to find T1 mexes that you might want to upgrade.

    Overcharge does not depleet last 10% of power of your storage, thats why you need about 67000 power for 15000 overcharge
