            Okay and what is your Question for CSK Units specifically?
            I didn't understand what you mean with the Fleets?
            Seems like you didn't like it so much what I have mentioned in my latest response to you about CSK Units and FBP Orbital maybe but its okay of course.

                Hello everyone,
                today I want to present you a new Update related to the Unit Pack of this Project:

                • Commander Survival Kit Units (CSK Units)
                  This Unit pack is currently available in Early Access on my Github Repository only, because it is still in Development.

                3 New Techlevels:
                22fb34b8-af61-4c18-a97a-32d01ff58b40-image.png
                8f2df7a1-ae34-4c06-ba24-b2c47add8175-image.png
                The Mod expands the Game with 3 new Techlevels which are called:

                • Elite
                • Hero
                • Titan

                Overview:
                Elite Units are basically the large Tech 3 Super Heavy Units
                Hero Units are Heros of the Factions such as Brackman, Colonel Arnold and so on. Including with a few new ones by myself.
                Titan Units are basically super Experimentals for example the Avalance from Total Mayhem

                New Cooperation Units by Cory Freeman:
                I have successfully Contact Cory Freeman a 3D Artist on Artstation who had Work on two Unit Pack Mods. One for Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and the other one for Supreme Commander 2 in Detail. However both never had reached the Final Stage for an Release and has been scrapped. I have ask him to get the full Permission to Get, Edit and Use these Models for the Commander Survival Kit Project. He gave me the Permission and has send the Model Files which where created in 3D Max and I have found an Blender Plugin to Open .max Files in Blender.
                https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3dNDnD

                So his Models will finally see the Light of the World in the Commander Survial Kit Project. Several Models are excellent and their Parts can be used for several other new Designs and Units in the future. 😉

                Here is the First Wave of them:

                'Bronx Mark IV' - Cybran Elite Super Heavy Tank
                A large armored Heavy Tank, which is armed with an 3 Barrel Proton Cannon Turret. It comes with 3 additional Secondary Rapid Fire Impulse Laser Turrets, which have two Barrels. The Tank is currently buildable by Tech 3 Engineers or SACU's but this will be changed with the introduction of the Elite Factories later.
                e0f637c6-bf6d-49a3-915b-ca18425ec534-image.png

                'T-7C Icrarus' - UEF Tech 3 Armored Support Amphibious Tank
                An armored amphibious tank with an unusual design. He is armed with an dual Rapid Fire Plasma Cannon and two Cluster Missile Battery Launchers. The Tank is buildable from an Tech 3 Land Factory.
                8ebe4bca-7cb0-4fdb-904d-b782c39f8ea3-image.png

                With the Model of the Bronx Mark IV I have create already several nice looking Vehicles for the Cybrans
                For example the:

                'Bronx Mark I' - Tech 1 Light Tank
                A small assault Tank, which is armed with an single Proton Cannon Turret. This Tank is the First Version of the Cybran Bronx Class Tank Series . Can be build in an Tech 1 Land Factory. Design of the Chassis is created by myself.

                Terminator Mark II Version A ' - Tech 2 Medium Tank Bot A Tank Bot, which is armed with two Laser Cannons.
                Both Cannons are causing 50 Damage per Shot and have an slower Rate of Fire. Can be build in an Tech 2 Land Factory.

                4fe114d5-8b13-4a55-b263-b832798ef0c5-image.png

                Of course more Cybran Vehicles are coming soon 🙂

                For the players and fans of Heldivers 2 among you,
                I also have something to show you as well

                'Emancipator' - UEF Tech 3 Multifunctional Support Bot
                A Support Mech, which is focused on Ground and Anti Air Combat. Design is based on the Patriot/Emancipator Exosuit from the Game Helldivers 2. Has access to the Weapon Random System and Enhancement Upgrades. This Mech is buildable in an Tech 3 Land Factory.
                a71150a4-633b-41ce-91f4-4b8ca50714f7-image.png

                These Units are now available in Early Access on GitHub and included in the Mod: Commander Survival Kit Units (short CSK Units).

                Commander Survival Kit Version 2.0.2:
                The next upcoming Version 2.0.2 of the Commander Survival Kit will be released soon. It will contains alot of Bug Fixes for the FAF Version of the Game, The first supported Language Translation: German (Localization) A few new callable things and Improvements
                However that is not all Version 2.0.2 will be available on the FAF Modvault as well. The previous Version was simple to large to upload it on the FAF Modvault and I was able to reduce the Size of the Mod from 710 MB to 336 MB by removing two Folders which where no longer be needed. The FAF Modvault has an upload Limit for Mods of 200MB so if there are larger they will be not uploaded. Version 2.0.2 is with nearly 51 MB if compressed below of this Limit, which makes the Upload functional again.

                Two new upcoming Submods:

                Commander Survival Kit Tutorials:
                6d526b63-b8fb-46de-880c-bae4f4ccc77f-Icon.png
                The Tutorial Videos of the Helpcenter for both Managers will be included in their own small Submod which is called: Commander Survival Kit Tutorials. So the Helpcenter will be usually not available if you don't activate this Submod next to of the Commander Survival Kit.

                Commander Survival Kit Timeos:
                d966d0a8-fc1d-43f8-8502-ae761336fd0f-Icon.png
                This is a new small Standalone Mod, which introduce 3 new Lobby Options into the Game.
                The Player will be able to set the Wait Times, when these following Techlevels will be unlocked:

                Tech 2, Tech 3 and Experimental
                Elite, Hero and Titan will be supported later if CSK Units is released

                9df05dd5-e2f7-4b81-8dcd-f1f34e1984a2-image.png

                You will be able to set the Wait Times from 5 Minutes to 2 Hours

                How does this Mod works:
                The Player and the AI will start with Tech 1 first.
                The other Techlevels will be unlocked once their specific Wait Times are exceeded.

                To know which Techlevel will be unlocked next you can see it with this small Panel next to of the Economy Panel.
                It shows the new Techlevel and the Gametime when this Techlevel is going to be unlocked.
                c76e5194-338f-4d49-b199-074292d302cd-image.png

                CSK Timeos is currently available on my Github Repository as Early Access for Testing and will be released on Moddb and on the FAF Modvault soon. It works with the Vanilla AIs, M28, AI-Uveso and more.

                Stay tuned for upcoming Updates and the Annoucement of the Releases.

                  Hello everyone,
                  If you play the current Version 2.0.1 of the Commander Survival Kit with the AI Uveso Mod on FAF.
                  You will notice that the Economy Panel is broken and will not display several Informations.
                  A fix for this has been uploaded today on the Github Version of the Commander Survival Kit and will be included in the upcoming Patch Version 2.0.2.
                  The Issue was caused because the modifed Gamemain.lua of the Mod included several unneeded Function Overwrites related to the Beat Function.
                  Those unneeded Function Overwrites has been removed and fix this Issue completly.
                  So if you want to play the Mod with the AI Uveso Mod please download the Github Version until Version 2.0.2 is released on the FAF Modvault soon.

                  You can download the Github Version here:
                  https://github.com/CDRMV/Commander-Survival-Kit

                  Stay tuned for upcoming Updates or Annoucements

                      Hello everyone,
                      before I start with the newest Development Report for the Unit Pack of this Project.
                      I want to Inform you about the Situation to upload the recent Version 2.0.2 of the Commander Survival Kit on the FAF Modvault.

                      As you know I have contact @Brutus5000 a few Weeks ago related to my Upload Problem of the Mod.
                      I have get this following answer from him:

                      "Hi there, I am sorry to tell you that we are under a 100mb upload limit since we had to hide all web service behind cloudflare to protect ourselves from DDoS - even in the pro version we are paying for. There is no affordable way to raise this limit. And since the DDoS is still running on other services, we have no time to come up with alternative solutions."

                      In other Words the recent Version 2.0.2 and any following Versions of the Commander Survival Kit can not be uploaded on the FAF Modvault until the upload llmit is increased by the FAF Team in the future. So the only way to get the newest Version of the Mod is to download it from its official Moddb Page: https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/downloads. As soon as the upload limit is increased by the FAF Team in the future, I will of course upload the mod to the FAF Modvault. 😉

                      Development Report for the Unit Pack of this Project

                      These following new Units are now available in Early Access on Github.

                      Once activated the Gatling Turret of this Vehicle is able to shot down incoming Tactical Missiles.
                      However the Turret will no longer be able to fire on Ground Targets anymore.

                        Hello everyone,
                        Version 2.0.3 of the Commander Survival Kit will be released soon on Moddb.
                        It includes several Fixes related to Air Strikes, which have a few Issues in Version 2.0.2 and are probably broken.

                        The Fixes are already included in the Development Version on Github for this Mod.
                        So I recommend to download the Mod from Github until Version 2.0.3 is released:

                        Stay tuned for more Updates
                        Best regards

                            Hello everyone,
                            I have release the Version 2.0.4 for the Commander Survival Kit as an Hotfix on Moddb today.
                            This Hotfix fixes the Black Screen Issue, if you start a Match with the Mod in FAF Version 3822

                            Manual:
                            https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/downloads/manual-commander-survival-kit-version-204

                            Installer:
                            https://www.moddb.com/mods/commander-survival-kit-csk/downloads/installer-commander-survival-kit-version-204

                            Version 2.0.4 (HotFix):

                            Bug Fix:

                            Hook (gamemain.lua):

                            • Removes the import("/lua/ui/game/casting/painting.lua") Entry for the FAF Version of the Game.
                              With the new recent published FAF Version 3822 the painting.lua has been fully removed from FAF.
                              That causes a Black Screen if you to start a match with the previous Version of the Mod in FAF Version 3822

                            Best regards

                              Keep in mind what you see in these Videos is the current Prototype Stage of this Mechanic.
                              So there is still alot to do in terms of Programming and Unit Creation.
                              Ammunition Depots and Ammunition Factories as new Structures are currently in Development to expand it.

                                  The Design of the Obelisk, which is mounted on the Obelisker is based on the Obelisk of Light from CnC
                                  Same for the Cybran Drop Beam Turret, which can be called as an Drop Defense from the Fire Support Manager in the Commander Survival Kit. They will be a few more Variants of the Obelisk in CSK Units. And more Units which are based on other CnC Units will appear in the Unit Pack in the future. 😉
