    This will be step one on it. We plan on doing more afterwards, but this should make it much better than current.

    We don´t need those asteroids; the moons are what Uber thought about in the pitch. Although mini-moons/asteriods with a tripple-nuke-size radius would be interesting...

    ...what we really need is the following:
    -Orbital Basics are well balanced right now. :) Now we need more diversity of orbital units!
    -A way to transport air and naval units to other planets
    -more advanced map editing options. The start was done, now the flashout phase has to start!
    -more optimisations in code to enable real mass player battles! Those would seriously rock! :cool:
    -Reworked Naval Pathfinding, Naval gun mounting :)mad:) , Naval Balance ---> mainly stronger Armor/ lowered cost, one Hornet shouldn´t be able to take out a stingray with a single shot...

    BTW: Appreciate that update post anyways... :D

    It couldn't be worse :confused:

    Well, you could name the ant the unit cannon, the dox the nuclear missile, the sniper bot the "melee bot", and the factories the laser defences, as well as change all the icons... but whatever o_O

    *Colour. I'm happy about this, because my mod has been broken for a while. Will it be the ye-old stripe, or is there going to be some fancy new UI for the selection? More primary colours as well? Please?

    Looking forward to the update.

    It was intended as joke since the highly demanded unit cannon was finally announced and the asteroids are the next highly demanded thing from what i've seen in the forums. :p

    Asteroids are easy to implement: Add a few tiny moons with super crazy height range to a system :eek:

    I've looked at that word for many many many hours and I can tell you it is written COLOR with colorful letters.

    From Jables on Steam : "We'll be talking about our vision of the unit soon. The teleporter replaced a lot of the funcionality we originally had for it, so it will change a bit to not feel like just another teleporter. Also will be playable on PTE soon (along with other balance changes) in a probably severely overpowered state. We'll be tuning it based on feedback and watched games to get it feeling right."

    If you'd like my voice for the tutorials; I'm more than happy to give it :)

    Also, re-everything else in the pipeline; FANTASTIC!

    US English drops the 'U'; British/Australian English includes it.

    Neither is right/wrong ;)

    Pretty sure we won the war. In fact, now the "English" language shall hence forth be known as the "American" language. I'm sorry for your loss. /endtroll

    Although I am impressed by Uber recently. I feel like they have accomplished more in the past 2 months than they have in the previous 6. Keep it up Uber and you might find yourself with a sizable player base.

    So, you take those suggestions, but not these?
