this is a great mod
but I suggest to change the cybrans portraits icons on the UI menu , they seem very dark and poor of art 
-
@JoTape79
Which Portrait Icons do you mean specifically? The ones of the callable Units from the Reinforcements Manager? If you want you can send me an Screenshot to Show me them, because it is better to See it directly what you mean. I'll add your suggestion to my to-do list. However, please note that improving, recoloring, and redesigning the icons will take a lot of development time. If you have Discord, feel free to join my Discord server. This will make it easier to communicate later when I rework these icons. -
Hello everyone,

Soon you will be able to Play with Units and Features based on the Helldivers 1-2 Franchise in Supcom.

@CDRMV I will send you a screenshot soon as possible
-
@CDRMV
for example.... these portraits of units that I marked in the photo are a little weird compared to the originals , I recommend to change the texture of the pictures 
-
@JoTape79
Oh, those are the unit build icons you mean.
For me the icons themselves look good (Not prefect) except that they are a bit too dark.
But as always improvements can be done anytime so I'll see what I can do.
-
@CDRMV From my experience, those icons are very good looking but if you can make them more lighter is will be perfect
.. Supreme commander is one of my favorites games you've done a great job making this mod I've done Maps and Mods for other RTS games such : command & conquer 3 , C&C Generals , starcraft 2 , WH 40k dawn of war , Age of Empires .... I will be focused for your new updates that you make in the future for this mod.... -
@JoTape79
Yeah I agree they will probably look much better If there are more lighter. Glad to hear that alot and thanks for the compliment. The Commander Survival Kit is of course still Not fully finished yet and will be expanded with more Features and callable Stuff in the Future. For example callable Units as Reinforcements from other popular Unit Mods such as Brewlan, Blackops, 4DC and of course my own ones. Next to of this new callable Air Strikes, Drop Defenses and more will join the roster. Next to of it the new upcoming Standalone Unit Pack Mechdivers which contains the Units based on the Game Helldivers 2 will is currently in Development and its First Version will be released soon of its finished.Wow you have done alot as well when it comes to Mods and Maps for these Games.
I Played.a few of them so I will going to Check them Out in the Futureif I have the time.
As always I'm Open for any kind of Help for my Mods. So If you have interest someday to create new Units for Supcom I would be glad to add them into my Unit Pack.;)Keep up to good Work on your Projects as well.

cool mod! i love helldivers! looking forward to release. maybe you can give me some advice. i made a post earlier today about how i wanted to rotate a units position because in a mod i am using most of the point defense buildings are rotated like 30 degrees to the left not aligning with other units. the mod also does this to some of the vanilla and units from other mods. i'm trying to correct that but as i'm new to modding. i'm still learning. any advice u can provide would be a great help. @CDRMV

@Zanryo
Hey Zanryo,
welcome to the FAF Modding Community.
Yeah I will going to Help you If I have the time.
From what I saw in the FAF Modding Discord Nomander leads you to the right Direction related to the Rotation of the Point Defenses. Glad to hear you like the Helldivers inspired Units which will be included in the upcoming Unit Pack Mechdivers. Mechdivers will get its own official Forum Post here soon but for now Updates related to it will be posted here. Currently I Work on the Units for the Cybrans for Mechdivers which are basically the Cybran Designs of the Automaton Units. Stay tuned for them because they are heading to us already.Of course I and several Others in this Community can help and teach you in Modding for the Game. So If you need help let me know.
Best regards

The Heavy Fusion Laser Cannon has an long Range and causes 1000 Damage on Impact but the Turret rotates slow and has an long Reload Time. The Design is based on the Automaton Annihilator Tank from the Game Helldivers 2.
'Shredder' - Tech 3 Heavy Autocannon Tank
A Heavy Tank armed with an powerful rapid fire quad Fusion Laser Autocannon Turret. It comes with an two Barrel Light Fusion Laser Cannon Turret in its Chassis (Front) for Close Combat.

Keep in Mind the Toggle Button will temporary disappear once you call in the Air Transport with the Land Reinforcements. The Button has an reload time of 100 Seconds. Note: Each Player and the AI can only build 3 of them. The Design is based on the Automaton Detector Tower from Helldivers 2.

@Caliber
Currently, I'm leaning toward releasing the first version of Mechdivers in December of this year. Of course, this depends on how well the development goes. Otherwise, it'll be in the first quarter of next year. Unlike CSK Units, Mechdivers is a smaller unit pack but will be regularly updated with new content and features in the future. Anyone who wants to play Mechdivers in early access or support its development can already download the current developer version from my GitHub repository. -
