    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!

        Is it possible to make mechanics so that if a faction has less than 15 planets left, then points for ordering reinforcements accumulate faster?

          I think it would be interesting to have starting scenarios. The Supreme Commander Campaign starts with a fairly aggressive opener: The Aeon breaks out of the UEF's quarantine zone and is so effective in their initial assault that they will defeat the UEF within 33 days. UEF's president is in ignorance and or denial of the tactical reality and tries to continue the war as normal. Cybran exploits UEF's weakness to try and rescue slaves and break through to Earth in other to interrupt UEF's ultimate weapon: Black Sun.

          As a traditionalist, I love this scenario. I have spent quite a lot of time imagining Aeon's break-out from the quarantine zone, even though this was never rendered in Supreme Commander.

          That said, I was able to come up with several dozen other really interesting starting scenarios... that would make GW more interesting than a static 1000-year infinite war. If youd like to hear them

            Sounds great as a story, but bad as a multiplayer setting. It basically means that aeon at first can only fight uef.. if other scanrios include some "not fair" split of the galaxy its just bad from a balance standpoint

              After some pause a GW server is up again for testing, with freshly generated map. Since Cybrans (thanks to abusing bugs, how else) managed to wipe out Aeon.

                        Introducing planet defenses.

                        With higher ranks structures will be unlocked for buy.

                        These structures can then be placed on the planets you control. Unlike the units that fly in on transports, these will stay as long as your faction controls the planet.

                        Godot_v4.5-stable_win64_2025-10-16_18-53-59.png

                        When the game stars, all defences will spawn, but they have activation time, so they will be inactive until the required time passes. These structures can not be reclaimed for easy mass boosts.

                                          Hi SupaCup, we have closed testing for now to allow Speed to work on GW for peace. To quote what he has said in GW-Announcements

                                          "@Galactic War Contributor Im shutting down the server until further notice!

                                          Thanks everyone who's tested and reported bugs so far. No more testing for the rest of the year! πŸ˜„

                                          I have gathered a lot of feedback to know what are the important features and fixes to work on. Even if I havent replied to you, I have read all the messages and suggestions in the GW channels. "

                                          Your message request isn't going anywhere, and you'll be added to the testing pool when tests resume πŸ™‚

                                          Mods, can we ban this guy?
