You can use mode/redact some game files to change color. Have no idea how to do that, but that's definitely possible

Sorry for writing in general, cannot find better category xD

timing 32:00-32:30

What happened:

1. I manually upgraded SACU with teleport and other grades.
2. I fell in battle
3. After Fullshare teammate got my SACU unupgraded.

7. SACU engineer preset is useless as hell. 850 mass for 44 buildpower? Orly?

No additional range? Not even double base stat(56)?

@keyser ready

@keyser
I don't really understand how the suggestions on the github work. Do I need to write in a nutshell about the proposed changes?
Or I should write down specific numbers that I propose to change?

Also manually upgreaded SACU have the same veterancy bar as the upgreadless one.

Maybe the easy way would be to make fixed veterancy cost for every type of SACU:

1)Engineer, ras, vanilla - 4k
2)"Weak combat", missile, - 5k
3) Strong combat - 6 or 7 k

What do you think?

SACU's veterancy cost increases linearly, while all other units do not.

As a result, we have that Rambo needs more experience than Ythota.

Expensive SACU's are faced with the glass ceiling.

@FtXCommando T4? Do you mean 1.3 colossus? Depends on the map.
On seton (and other huge maps) even 3 colossus < 1 bloody Novax. In the same time t3 arty have not enough range!!

@FtXCommando
People DO build 3-4-5 Novax and kill even base shields (yes u can assist, micro and all that)

Same price as t3 arty maybe too much. You right. You can suggest another

At present Novax costs 36k mass/44k building.
While colossus: 27.5k/51.5k
Fatboy: 28k/47.5k
Duke: 72k/115k

This price underestimates Novax's effectiveness too much.

@HintHunter 2 "weak" Novaks do the same dps as t3 arty. With 100% accuracy!!! (arty hits ~ 2/10 shots at single unit)
For the same price!!

What u mean weak?

It can do the same job as arty + a lot more!
kill cruisers, single targets, mexes, acu snipe, t4 snipe.

Thats how t3 arty works: 10 shots duke. He can shoot wrong shield, even not into base!
Novax?....
And again: 2 novax costs as 1 t3 arty. 2 novax dps = 1 t3 arty dps.
You have much more for the same price!!

@Farmsletje

I not mean to delete.

Why not make it cost like t3 arty? (+-)
This thing remains useful, but not so offensively to suffer from expensive weapons.

In the end, the havok will still remain:
half dps of t3 arty + 100% accuracy + omni + radar

@keyser
Maybe building a prison will vanish criminal activity fast enough

Anyway free nuke-killing is not the main activity. And not the main problem. Just a nice bonus.

@keyser
bannable.

Is It happens sometimes? Yes.
is this one of the reasons for the unpopularity of yolona? Yes.

1. Practically unkillable. Too cheap for tele snipe or bomb snipe. (costs <15 t3 bomber)
2. Same dps/mass as t3 arty. With no chance to miss or shoot at wrong place.
3. Too hard to resist. Best t3 shield costs 1/10 of novax. No way to cover everything on big maps.
   
4. Requires less build power then fatboy/ythota/colossus.
5. 1 Novax makes Yolona Oss useless.
6. Costs nothing to upkeep.

Would our game really be worse without this unit?
