1. Top Air: typically spams t1 until bottom air gets t3, but not necessarily; in charge of getting radar, and also SMD in time before enemy Eco can destroy everyone in top
2. (Upper) mid: goes to the upper lane in mid. Land focus, but will often start with air fac to get engies in mid in time. Playstyle depends on individual.
3. Mid: handles the "true" mid lane, his survival often depends on Navy even if he wins his slot. Can and probably will start with air fac like the other mid player
4. Navy: as the name says
5. Eco: as the name says, is supposed to handle late-game and is responsible for winning (or losing) the match when it gets to that stage
6. Bottom Air: in charge of getting t3 air faster than the enemy team and possibly win the game or cripple them with strat(s), or at the very least getting asfs out in time for enemy strats; also in charge of radar for bottom. Might give t2/t3 engies to eco/rest of team to help, but this will necessarily delay his own progression.

Variations and other strategies are always possible (t2 air spam to win, double/triple navy, eco/navy ACUs to mid.), especially when playing with friends/people you know (also see: stacked teams, a reason why most mid-to-high level games use opti).

I'll let someone else tell you about the True Masters because I wouldn't know.

One important thing to know is who gets what rocks: it's generally rude to eat rocks that don't belong to you (not to mention entirely harmful to your team on the whole), and I have seen high level players just quit minutes into the game because their rocks were being stolen/trees knocked down. If you prepare any pic with the rocks marked I'll tell who they belong to.

I really don't think I need a dedicated channel

I like how you added a gif to your report!

Ping to Australia from EU is always unplayable

False.

I actually read this, and all I have to say is:

Are you ok?

Is this actually some joke?

but now I need to verify my ownership of a game nobody owns

You couldn't be any more wrong.

@sladow-noob said in I feel like Czar's crash is more important than its' weapons:

If your opponent attacks with ASF, you groundfire and all the ASF get a huge amount of damage (Stack 2 czars, groundfire and every single ASF will die by flying through the beam).

Pretty sure that was nerfed back in 2015, patch notes for 3650 mentions it.

crippling Zthuee spam will forever be one of my favorite things

Nothing is stopping you from making a mod to change the name of their units if you want to, but I highly doubt it will be officially integrated into FAF if that's what you were asking for.

Personally, I don't think there's much of a point in giving them human-readable names, it's part of the faction alien flavor.

You ever tried ordering a thousand units to move somewhere? They stop and start thinking, may take them several seconds before they start moving again. With 9k units it may take half a minute.

At some points all units on the map (yes, even ACU) become unresponsive and just sit there, ignoring all orders. This happens frequently in campaign maps.

I'm afraid it's an engine limitation.

No, you also spend mass-̶t̶h̶e̶ c̶o̶s̶t̶ i̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶a̶m̶e̶ a̶s̶ i̶f̶ y̶o̶u̶ w̶e̶r̶e̶ b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ a̶ n̶e̶w̶ s̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶.-̶t̶h̶e̶ c̶o̶s̶t̶ i̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶a̶m̶e̶ a̶s̶ i̶f̶ y̶o̶u̶ w̶e̶r̶e̶ b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ a̶ n̶e̶w̶ s̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶.

No, it only repairs the shield while it is up-once it's depleted, you are wasting your bp as it does nothing.

It's related to question 1: the smaller the shield, the cheaper/faster it is to keep it up, but you risk a big shot taking it down before you can even start repairs or that it gets destroyed directly. Cybrans have both the cheapest and most expensive shields, which are generally considered the worst at arty wars if that's what you are asking-Seraphim's ones are instead arguably the best. Still, the ability to sequentially upgrade shields can be useful as it's a quick way to get a shield back up-Aeon used to have t2 shields that couldn't be upgraded (unless my memory fails me) b̶u̶t̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ w̶a̶s̶ p̶a̶t̶c̶h̶e̶d̶ a̶s̶ a̶ b̶a̶l̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ d̶e̶c̶i̶s̶i̶o̶n̶.

@darkmage72 try here or here.

If it's for personal/offline use, wouldn't modding storages to hold a trillion mass effectively solve the issue?

All things considered, if you are going to the trouble of copying text, alt-tabbing, and pasting text into a google translate page, you might find it more convenient just to use a mobile device to translate the text directly.

No, because many don't know and can't type russian characters

I don't follow. You can already type text into gtrans and then paste it into the game if you need to communicate in a different language.

On mobile it takes text directly from the camera and either shows an on-screen translation or you can take a photo (give it a try if you have never used it-it's pretty neat).

Why wouldn't alien space magic be able to differentiate between friendlies and hostiles?
