    Anyone know if the aerial transports have a chance at making it in?

    Oh please, you can't cost a factory on the assumption that only its own fabber will build it because that's bollocks. That T2 air factory isn't being built by an air fabber, it's being built by an air fabber and five bot fabbers.

    In relation to the fabrication rate of the fabber that is capable of building it, it makes perfect sense. And it was always quite obvious that a 66% longer fabrication time for the air fabber wasn't viable. There's quite a lot of evidence which suggests that the spam fabbers all day way to play wasn't what was designed for.

    And in the magical land of make believe where I can't enlist other fabbers, that's a perfectly valid comparison to be making. But back in the real world where I start with the best builder in the game, it's not.

    I think the point that's trying to be made is that there shouldn't be a 'best' fabber.

    No, the point being made by them is that the T2 air factory should be cheaper because air fabbers suck, which is an argument which works only in a vacuum.

    I will be super sad with no nerf to air coming..... so tired of air/ nukes it is entirely lame and boring. Not to mention that air fabs will now be seen in droves. I don't see when they weren't viable?? 6/1200 was perfectly fine. We need mobile flak!!! Especially if there's no changes coming to air aside from more strength......

    Yea an air fab only need start its t2 factory its then usually rushed by more land fabs plus comm assist. Not to mention the extreme power that hornets carry air factory should be the most expensive by far as well as units. There's a reason air has always been expensive and build slower. Its the only unit set that is unimpeded by terrain. For the past two builds air has been the dominant force and doesn't seem like it's slowing down with more buff to gunships.....smdh c'mon uber is this ace combat the rts???

    We don't know.

    Uber doesn't release specific dates.

    We were hoping today, but it doesn't look like it.

    Maybe tomorrow? Hopefully before the end of the week.

    That's not the argument at all. Rein the aggression in a little.

    And back in the land of "this game was designed by flawed human beings, not gods", there's a lot of evidence that the "do not enlist other fabbers" mindset is applied to the game in multiple areas. The numbers have not changed since they were first applied to the game.

    It is quite clear that the costs of those factories were first pass because it is quite clear that the sheer unmitigated assist spam which has become the norm wasn't necessarily designed for.

    As I was looking for this, it seems I've been ninja'd. Oh well, posting anyways.

    That's not an aggressive post, you need to adjust your sensitivity for the Internet.

    And... so what? What's your point? We can't discuss that the numbers suck because the numbers suck? They are probably going to change so we can't discuss how they should change?

    I don't understand what you're trying to say here.
