@phong said in The Billy Nuke needs to be nerfed:

My biggest complaint about the billy is it's insane range. It is too safe compared to other end-game upgrades, and less fun than it could be as a consequence. I propose making the projectile around 20% slower, thus a bit less useful against armies unless the player takes on a bit of risk by closing in. I wish effective use of it encouraged transport play more.

The counters to it should remain unit spread or mixing build power into the army rather than mobile shields in my opinion, because they require more attention.

You say its less safe, but all other coms are waaaaay more tanky then UEF com when it has billy, if it has teleport and billy its even weaker coz it has no defensive upgrades at that point. So in that aspect it is decently balanced

I agree that billy is too strong, one shoting 30-40 or more bricks/percy ect is insane.

bricks should never get billied, as cybran has the perfect counter. Sure you lose maybe your first group, but after that you should have a loyalist or 5 in your army and be pretty much imune against billy

5 - Tele Billy is insane.

Tele billy is only insane if you have zero shields on your grid. 1 T3 shield stops a billy completly

mselves from other RTS games in that it is a

and in a simulation you still want stuff to be fun.

If flak would do as much damage to your enemies as it would do to your own planes. Why would you ever build flak?

You've build flak and your air player be like, yeah I cant help you you got flak in your base, I will kill my own planes helping you.

Yeah that is so much fun

@nuggets said in Why do so many things have friendly fire disabled?:

The "unfair advantage of fighting over flak" is (if i understood your argument correctly) the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. One team build AA and should not have an advantage when fighting there? xD I guess we can just remove AA from the game and only build air instead

Now do the same but with AA in WW2.

realism < fun

@snoog said in Why do so many things have friendly fire disabled?:

My one opinion on this is that the chicken's storm should have friendly fire enabled.

yeah coz when two chickens fight 2 GC's its totally great that after 1 of each dies its still 2 v 1 coz the Storm attacks your own chicken XD

Sure with decent micro you can walk the dieing chicken into their team, but now you cant advance for a while and all your ground units are caught in the crossfire aswel

Realism < fun

Can we not have a news post with the changes in the faf client? That would be helpfull too

no

@caliber said in Will TML ever be balanced?:

@TheWheelieNoob the mavor reference was just a joke, I was interested to see how it would compare to the most powerful unit in the game mass for mass, no need to rage over it lol.

let me ask you this question

if a tml is mainly used to kill t2 mexes at 2000hp why does it do 5000 damage

is there an calculable reason that it does 5000 damage or is it just a randomly generated number?

it does 6k damage so you can 2 shot any unupgraded commander

@caliber said in Will TML ever be balanced?:

Heres another example of TML's being insanely cheap and massively OP!

The images show a TML rush in 8 minutes and a single Missile one shoting a 5500 hp full health T2 HQ before a single engineer is made and therefor the game is already lost as you now cannot defend against it.

Dont play cybran and it can survive 2 hits

@sainserow said in Nerf Novax radar:

@firv 1. Does it matter? The only purpose of Eye of Rhianne is intel. With Novax it’s a powerful addition.
2. No. Eye of Rhianne doesn’t have an Omni sensor.

Eye can see under water though. So I thought it had omni aswel?

And i just commented on, when you have an eye, do you need to make scouts? Eye is only 3k mass so thats 15 scouts? seems pretty cheap

@sainserow said in Nerf Novax radar:

Having Novax usually removes the necessity to make T3 scouts at all, since Novax can see almost an entire base to choose targets on it's own.

Cant the same be said about the Aeon Eye of Rhianne?

TML com is not rare, it is however quite expensive and requires alot of power. TML launcher is alot cheaper

just uninstall it or make it not run on startup. or just close it everytime you run faf

dont run the the software. FA just doesnt work with it properly

Jamming still seems like a waste of a slot. It serves no real purpose, its easy to spot and basicly does the exact opposite. The only slightly usefull jamming is on the uef frigrate, all other jamming seems so useless imho. Unless someone can explain to me how to effectivly use jamming

if the TMD is in the middle of the max range arc of TML you can lob it over them, it will usually only be able to shoot once at that point. Its coz the TML area is a dome and not a cyllinder

@ftxcommando said in Username rules updates:

I do this by utilizing the renowned friends list feature

Your name changes in the friendslist too, so that still doesnt help much

@firv said in Username rules updates:

Real question though, Why can you rename yourself anyway? How else are you susposed to identify someone?

Better question, why do you need to identify someone outside of a moderation setting?

Its nice to know who you are playing with, some people you want to avoid, some people you want to play with more often.
