Make global switches so that I don't have to manually activate each Cybran ASF's stealth after it is built, but make it global for every switch in the game, if it is possible.

And make a switch for harbingers so that they don't stop reclaiming or assisting while having an attack-move command.

You tell an ACU or SACU to attack-move, they ignore engineering tasks and attack-move as warriors, you tell the same to harbingers, they start reclaiming trees or assist whatever there is on their way to the enemy base. It's pain.

You tell an ACU or SACU to patrol, they do engineering if there are no enemies nearby. Can we have the same for harbingers?

@cpt_cnullrufs
If Gabe bans all the russians from steam then we can start thinking about doing something like that.

Don't wait for the big boss to decide for you, you have your own free will.

Did I mention I don't support Putin? Oh, I guess it doesn't matter anymore: My PC is in Russia.

You people act like these idiot countries who no longer want Russians in their countries even though this is the time when people try to escape Russia the most. In case you people didn't notice, we live in a police state with no real elections, and we are punished for trying to change things. Yes, there are Russians who support Putin. I don't know why, maybe it's because they watch the state-owned media too much; I personally never watch it.

You know how painful it is just to read these casual "Let's ban all Russians"? It's somewhat related to "Death to America!". You will just make all Russians who are not yet supporting the government to fight back and join them.

You know what? I think I will ban myself from FAF. There are better and more important things to do anyway.

Can we disable repairing ACUs? You order engies assist a damaged ACU, and all they do is waste their time, as there is almost no effect.

I once tried repairing an ACU with 200 engi SACUs with a para, and I did not notice any effect.

Let me remind you, people, how powerful spearheads are (T3 UEF mobile missile launcher).

The cost is only 2 time of T2 MML, +20 range (80), 4 (!) times higher DPS and damage per volley (2400 damage).

As I understand, people ignore them because MML kind of lose power at T2 stage, when the opponent already has TMD, but think of dropping them: I see people dropping percivals to harass mexes, but perci DPS is only 1.5 higher per unit, and you can get 3 spearheads for the price of 1 perci, and because they are so cheap, you don't have to bother with expensive transports: You can send them even in T1 transports.

The barrage damage is 2400, compared to ~3000 of T3 bombers, yet spearheads cost 5 times less.

I hope you will start using them more, people.

I would kick the smurf instead of giving him the 2nd place.

Recommendation for the next tournament with an upper limit: Add the condition that all the accounts must be older than the announcement for at least by several days.

Everybody has grasped it outside of this forum, it seems. Russian players must be banned. It is that simple. Even if it guts the community. Every sport, every game, every company is politics now.

No, we should ban Americans, they are bullying me for my IP. This is discrimination.

I suggest map makers adopt the flatty map paradigm:

• The terrain is mostly flat, with different levels, with random bumps only at the edges of the cliffs to different levels
• Underwater terrain doesn't matter

A good example is DualGap Adaptive.

Reasoning:

• You never know with these random bumps if your weapon will hit the target, especially if it's Cybran or Sera T2 PD
• You never know if you will be able to build on bumpy terrain unless you memorized the map

And don't tell me it's a skill issue, the game is too complex enough to memorize maps to the point where you can or cannot build things.

Did you know that if you surround a factory with 4 T3 mass fabricators and 4 T2 mass fabricators, you get around 86% mass discount? It not only makes T3 spam super cheap compared to experimentals, it also, according to my calculations, is more profitable than T2 mass fabricators if you produce percivals/bricks and reclaim them.

@jip Turns out the ZePMiniMapZoom was removing that pin button.

The UI mod Additional Camera Stuff had an option to lock the minimap from accidental resizes, the new patch blocked the mod, and I want the option back.

@espiranto Me no understand your English.

No.

@dragun101 Just make T3 hydros, but leave T1 hydros unupgradeble to T3.

The leaderboard is a mess anyway: It doesn't care which map versions and game patches you played on.

Something has changed: It was 1/4 players, now it is 0/4. A mistery.

My issue with this mod is that it is a bit hard to see if a structure on the minimap is dead.

No.

Here, the members of the No Veterancy Coalition constantly nod to each other while stating how veterancy is bad for games like this and totally ignore all these "veterancy is skill" players.

I will start.

• Veterancy HP increase is too hard to remember and it screws up fights by seemingly randomly healing units. And, because you never see the veterancy of your enemy's units, you never know if a unit survives a close call.
• It ruins immersion and adds unnecessary computation. Ever saw a robot getting a promotion by instantly increasing its HP for killing other robots?

Everyone nods and claps.
