Question: Is there plan for T2 space?

For now, the space layer doesn't follow the same pattern as other land/air/naval layers:
"T1 Facto -> T1 Faber -> T2 Facto -> T2 Faber".
Is there plan for a T2 Space facto and a T2 Space faber?

If yes:
- Do you plan to make T2 orbital factory... actually orbital?
I mean: a building/satellite (moving or not) actually far over ground.
- Do you plan to revamp T1 space-facto to make it more like other t1 factories?
I mean: the commander and any T1 faber (and T2) can build it, it requires less energy, has a lesser build rate, ...

If no:
- Do you definitively consider space as a T2-only (or T1.5) technology?
- What about gas planets project? Will there be more space units/buildings/satellites?

Thanks in advance.

orbital itself is considered t1.5. Meaning its not an equal member t1, it is a t1 utility, and all things under it are utility branches.

I am fine with it. Its fine to have orbital launcher same tier as pelter, and orbital require fabbers to build in space to balance its cost and speed of deployment.

they could add or adjust things though.

It kinda is already divided into what the factory can build and what the fabber can build

We haven't heard any plans along these lines from Uber.

Maybe after 1.0 eventually... maybe not.

I think there's various issues with Orbital, and I don't really know what the fix would be. Maybe advanced orbital would be a good thing. I'm not sure.

There should be because orbital bombardment is cool.

I think that orbital bombardment would be an excellent (and awesome!) planet cracking tool - but at the same time, it would be extremely difficult to keep it balanced.

Anchors.

I think it would be cool if laser satellites did this, instead of their single big bang attack.

Or a Star Destroyer.

I hope there's no plan for t2.5 orbital. Teching up is already as drawn out a process as it needs to be.

Well you're boring.

Enlighten me then. How would introducing yet another layer of '->fabber->factory' be a better way of introducing new units, than just adding them to t1.5?

Um. TIE fighter?

Put it in t1.5. Pay attention you in the back, I'll only repeat myself as often as need be

I think orbital bombardment is good as it is now - a single target attack from orbit (if you want more, build a nuke). We only need a way to deal with OP anchors and umbrellas. I think there should be an aerospace craft (either a dedicated fighter-bomber, or the current avenger or maybe even an orbital ship) that enters the air layer to kill umbrellas and fight enemy air units so we at least have a tool other than smash or nuke spam to deal with fortified planets and another craft that can deal with anchors - like a spaceship or something.

maybe.....Im just not sure I like the lasers power, and long build time.

Orbital bombardment should fill you with glee and awe. It shouldn't be something you look at and think "Hey the US made serious plans for that in the '80s and we're almost completely capable of doing it today".

Speaking of graphics effects, a continuous energy beam is a must have.

meh, its not the teching that is interesting, its the units themselves.

I like Meirid's "Microwave Satellite" idea, where it does very low lingering damage over a wide area. Matches more this game's theme.

Only if it melts units instead of just making them explode.
