Petition to add tractor beam anti weapons to literally pull enemy planes out of the sky.

I've read somewhere that in SC2, some experimental functionality comes online before the thing is completely finished building

So it would be interesting to have, let's say, a spiderbot that can start walking before the cannon is ready. So you could keep it in the base while you assist the laser upgrade. Or you could send it to the front and the spider would finish building the cannon on the way. That would get it out the door sooner but it wouldn't help you to defend a base sooner. So it would essentially reduce build time in some situations but not others.

Or a different approach, when the GC finishes building it has a movement speed of 0 but a fully-functional cannon. Then you assist it with the "movement speed upgrade." When that finishes, it can start walking. So you could use it essentially as point defense until you finish making it. I see all the time people scrambling to finish a GC while enemy units approach. It would be interesting if the GC could shoot at them while it was finishing.

Since these upgrades would be only a net positive, they would start building automatically when the unit finished construction.
hey could be paused if you don't want to spend on them but they couldn't be canceled.

Desyncs are a different problem but I have noticed that desyncs seem to be more likely to arise when a player has connectivity problems, especially if one person leaves the game while everyone else is waiting for a different player to reconnect to the internet. I haven't noticed a correlation between desyncs and the game running slowly based on slow CPU.

Maybe in general people should try not to leave games while one person is reconnecting.

To be completely fair acu death nuke was supposed to be 70,000

We only have limited access over the installer routines since we use a dedicated 3rd party tool for this and have to look into what can actually be implemented. If even, I highly doubt we'll be able to squeeze out more than a button opening a browser.

And for sure we'll not switch to a different installer.

Dont rank a PvE game or maybe have a low cap like 300.

Rank the ai side though, would be nice to see where they end at and if it lowers or raises from changes in playerbase

@biass said in "Feedback without Criticism" subforum and discord channel:

I would rather you tried something different, such as an anonymous feedback form instead.

That might be even better, even lower threshold, and I understand your concern about positive feedback loops.

Thats not a great argument imo. The icon isnt that way because its supposed to trick your enemy, its because Cybrans have more bots and they use a bot instead of a tank in t1. Its that simple. That being said, i do agree with wath @biass said. Making a ui mod would fix the problem without enforcing a change many people dont agree with.

When you setup the game make the speed adjustable and then increase it a bit in game, +1 or +2 is barely noticeable in terms of getting things done but will conclude the game signifigantly quicker.

@tagada This game is now 14 years old. I strongly question whether your premise would actually be a bad thing.

Rename "I need help" forum to "Tech support"

Because it is "Tech support" now

i like the deploying engineer idea or merging them based on tech level using a mass to merge inefficiency ratio so 5 t1 engys become a t2 and 12 t1 engys become a t3 engineer to discourage blatantly spamming t1 engys and expecting a 100% conversion ratio with no penalties

i want this idea to be implemented and give the cybran acu spider legs as payment for my vote

I am not aware of anybody working on this. Also not sure if this is even possible.

BAR has something like this https://www.beyondallreason.info/active-battles. I think the one for FAF could look similar, just with more info, and maybe provide more info when you click it or something.

I think in general FAF could do well with some nice website features.

Bubble shield kinda sucks as your always taking damage in it, I've heard you can keep some Percy's next to you shelded but yet to try that
