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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
After the latest patch I now sometimes get a dead screen after long 30+ min of playing. I see like 1 frame blinking forever, sound is working, and if I ALT+TAB out and back, I get a black screen. My games end there as I can't do anything.
The map is unbalanced: See reclaim values: https://postimg.cc/LhrSwtHJ
I suggest Sung Island Rush 2012.
Or we could just increase the speed at which the 1st factory is built to almost instantaneous. That would not change anything.
Problem: When you have a lot of wrecks in a small area and press CTRL + SHIFT to see reclaim value of the wrecks, you see a lot of piled up values, and it's hard to figure out how much mass is in the area.
Suggestion: Let reclaim values sum up when you zoom out camera with increasing radius for value indicators depending on the zoom value, and the farther away the camera is, the more wrecks should be summed up.
Example: 
@t_r_u_putin said in The last survivor FFA tournament:
@melanol not much differences and everything is random.
Coordinates of reclaim patches in hours:
2: 8608
4: 9418
6: 9520
9: 7696
11: 6682
Max difference is 2838. Looks like a lot to me.
Is there a way to may chat unclickable? Like when I am not typing and just playing, I occasionally hit where the invisible-at-the-moment chat is, and it opens up the chat, which is not what you want.
What if we make the game check how many ACUs are left each time an ACU dies, and, if there is only 1 left, it becomes invulnerable? Will also help with the 1v1 bug where exploding your ACU to kill your enemy ACU results in your victory.
Will also help with too many draws in tournaments.
What if we make a land building transferring building adjacency to naval factories? Like in 1 adjacency building per 1 naval factory. You build it on land, connect it to a naval factory, the building receives adjacency bonuses from economy buildings surrounding it and transfers them to a naval factory (but not too far, has to be close to water).
As of now, naval units do not get any discounts. A little discount may make naval battles more interesting.
@rezy-noob The idea is not to buff, but to double unit limit. Maybe even without buffing at all.
Anyway, I now like FtXCommando's idea of air-to-air splash. Like a slow splash anti-air gunship with... 4 unit limit? Just to lower their spam. Just in case. Just like they did in Starcraft 2, when they realized everyone is just building death balls and using F2 (select all warriors); They just gave every race a lot of splash.
OK, guys, I didn't last long without SupCom. Don't beat me.
I have an idea: We know that CPU goes down when ASFs start fighting each other. What if we double them in every stat including unit limit? 2 times less lags and the prospect of hitting the limit would make players use other antiair instead of just spamming ASFs.
Hi, my global rating is 1000 with around 300 games in FAF. There once was a news post asking people why they leave. Here is my confession.
Country flags:
Since Russian invaded Ukraine, the game became too toxic; and we don't even need flags in the game where we have "ping" showing in the lobby. I stopped playing for a month after getting fed up, trying to get back and see if anything changed, and it did not. I also would not mind the game having proper mute functions where you can relax without listening to angry kindergarteners. Like, you know how some of the new games don't even let people talk to you by default?
The game is a coding competition:
Optional per-player UI mods are not cybersport, it's a coding competition where you can make a mod yourself and use it without anyone knowing. Good cybersport games do not allow this. Either ban all UI mods in ladder and tournaments, or allow only white-listed (I am not even sure how it works).
Devs don't have access to the source code. Not the biggest issue, but it makes things overly complicated with devs unable to fix a lot of things.
See you in half a year or never. I am going back to SC1 and SC2. Don't expect me to read your comments or reply. All hopes for Sanctuary.
Just send them to the streamers.
I am also very annoyed by dead observers refusing to leave and spamming like they are in a chat. I wouldn't restrict to their team, though.
Or we just need proper mute functions for chat, pings and markers.
@ftxcommando said in Ban EcoManager & Similar Mods:
And how exactly is the community gonna figure out decent ones to integrate when they’re banned from all competitive play?
By testing them in non-ladder and non-tournament games.
Why do you always discard any idea proposed in the forum as garbage?
