      Do you prefer removing Novax omni so it isn't an fast, unkillable counter to Cybran cloak at the front/in their base or would you keep it because it's cool to have such a rare interaction?

          GC lost its omni so it didn't just invalidate Cyb's gimmick for no reason, Novax should follow suit.

            it has vision so it can spot stuff at front line. The only thing the omni really counters in my opinion are cybran cloak coms hiding in a base. So just like the GC omni, it really only counters one specific situation, and seems kinda meh. It just makes an opressive unit more opressive against a com that should be safe.

              Removing the scouting ability from the scouting satellite seems a bit...

              Novax needs a rework for sure, but it being a scouting unit is the least of my concerns.

              "Design is an iterative process. The required number of iterations is one more than the number you have currently done. This is true at any point in time."

                  it has plenty of vision for scouting. Having omni only counters cybran cloak com, seems a bit silly

                    @Firv The omni i think was for larger maps that omni sensors cannot reach. for example: missions that are more than 20x20 omni only goes so far and the radar attached to it, is double the omni strength. the red ring on a omni sensor is the omni range. the blue ring is just radar.
                    The game is balanced its just most people play 10x10 and/or 20x20 when in the 40x20 40x40 and 80x80 maps it makes more sense for the novax to have omni

                      what does the omni see that vision and radar dont? Its only the cybran cloak com and cloak boys.

                      Stealth gens don't work against the vision of the sat, and i think its radar is fine to spot everything else.
