    Lol this guy wants the worst things that were in supcom placed in PA. Why not take only the good things from supcom and put them in PA?

    Personally, I feel that constructive criticism of the game in terms of performance, interface usability and depth, strategic gameplay and the like, is great! However, coming onto the forums, without searching prior posts and getting an understanding of topics that have already been debated ad infinitum makes me think that you're just trolling. There are areas that are open to, and should be debated as I mentioned before. But when it comes to things like the art style and overall game genre/direction, then that's something that the developers are in charge of, I'd like to think we're helping a bit, but in the end this is Uber's game.

    The game was crowd-funded with certain concepts being pretty firmly in place, and it succeeded. The dev team is now trying their very best to adhere to their design principles and promises, while simultaneously inviting comment on many facets of the game and adopting good ideas from the backing community.

    I go back every month or so to the kickstarter video, and I'm amazed at how the game has gone from a bare-bones alpha full of bugs, to something that matches, and is now starting to surpass the original concept. It's not perfect, yet! But if you think it lacks something, then by all means mod it in.

    Please don't just march into a forum, declare your opinions without any substantiation other than: "Me and my mates think it's crap" and then offer zero response to questions, comments and criticism.

    You guys can't be serious that you think I search more than 300 pages for all these things. If you think I should do that, well fugg yourself.

    No, but I want to have this game more variety and more in depth strategy which also contains orbital/space warfare.
    Just do hopping from one planet to the other with less restistance than there should be.

    In fact.. if planet earth was one big nation. Do you really think they wouldn't build a space fleet and orbital stations, etc. if you think that then you are lacking of range of view. I wouldn't let my home planet alone with no space defence and ships.

    Almost everything you mentioned will be modded in at some point or another (probably not all in the same mod though). So if I were you, I wouldn't totally discredit the game. There are thousands of gamers out there all with a different idea of what their perfect game is, Uber will never be able to satisfy them all. Lucky for us, the game is highly moddable, and there is a massive mod community itching to get at this game. So almost everybody will be happy at the end of the day, even if Uber isn't the one directly providing the content you seek.

    I think one issue with your expectations is that PA is doing interplanetary combat differently from most games. You probably won't have spaceships besides orbital units (as far as I know), but you will be able to make movable asteroid bases with nukes, teleporters and unit cannons that you can send to invade larger planets or other smaller bases.

    Oh wow! look at that! I found most of the things you suggested discussed in the FAQ! https://forums.uberent.com/threads/frequently-asked-questions.54326/
    Maybe you should look at the front page before posting, if searching isn't worth your time.

    Did I miss something or was it a question what I wrote in a single point? eeeh nope.
    FAQ=Frequently Asked Questions.... If you think once you wouldn't even write that into that topic.
    There is no question and there was no question, there will be no question.

    The post reflects opinions of various players not only mine go ahead and to a poll for each keyword. And do an agree/disagree button into it.

    This game shouldn't be Supreme Commander totally it isn't even possible with having planets and there are no space ships in Supreme Commander at all but it also shouldn't be Total Annihilation that's why it should have all the nice stuff that is told about on the front page.

    FAQ's don't just encompass questions like "why won't my game run?", they also encompass questions such as "will shields be added to the game?" or "will there be spaceships?", especially on a forum for a game that's still in development. Since you are essentially asking those questions, you should at least glance at the FAQ before whining that that game isn't exactly how YOU want it to be. I am pointing out that you don't even need to search to be able to see information that you are looking for, even if you are blatantly ignoring it, forums have sticky threads for a reason.

    It's the same thing with a different tone.

    "ANSWER THE BLOODY PHONE!"
    "Would you please answer the phone?"

    Same outcome is desired, but it's written differently.

    I have:
    - Windows 7 64-bit
    - 8GB ram (2x4GB for dual channel)
    - GTX 760 factory OC
    - AMD FX-8350 8 core CPU @ 3.5Ghz
    - 128GB SSD

    And on my computer the game chugs at 20fps late game with two planets regardless of graphical settings. So if you have specs that are "pretty basic" I encourage you to post them, along with a picture late game showing your FPS that "isn't lagging"
    UNLESS of course you mean internet lag :p
