good idea for diversity or not?

  1. buff the vehicle fabbers rate and efficiency!

    Possible miss info here. Are they identical in every aspect?
    Since vehicle fabbers accelerate slower, pivot slower reach destination slower, shouldn't they build faster and more efficient than bot fabbers?

    This could lead to a diversity of openers and almost force some more mixed unit combos couldn't it?

    I don't know just a thought let's here your opinions and votes.

    The bots and vehicles actually accelerate at the same speed and have the same turn rate. All of their stats are identical.

    What I'd love to see is what the RCBM did.

    Bot fabricators cost half as much, but build at half speed. Vehicle fabricators cost twice as much, but build twice as fast and are slightly more energy efficient.

    That would add diversity without making one of them the absolute clear choice.

    So if we race around a bot and vehicle fabber they tie? Maybe the little legs are pulling an illusion on me.

    Do they get built at same rate/cost?

    They have the same stats, RCBM and Statera change them up a bit.

    The bot Faber used to be the same as vehicle, only faster, they changed that, and honestly I hope they make bot fab faster but less efficient so that vehicle dabs become your base building fabs, bots become your expansion/scout group, air is for other side of the map last ditch construction, and naval is for... Naval. ^^;

    RCBM - Bots fabricate slower than vehicles and are slower with less HP but cost less and are more efficient.

    Statera: Bots fabricate slower than vehicles and are less efficient with less HP but are faster.

    ModX keeps them identical. Not sure about IgnCom's mod.

    Statera obviously makes more sense from a vanilla perspective (as the RCBM changes go along with the whole role reversal of bots and vehicles present in the mod). There are probably a few more stat combinations that would make the fabbers different in stats and in feel.
