LiveStream Questions for 4/24/2014

Mavor said that he will consider the role of submarines and how they will work and he wasn't sure whether they will even be in the finished product. My question is:

Do you think the combat environment of PA is good enough to include the role of a stealth hunter like a submarine, or will this require an overhaul of the water layer?

Let's hope they make it in v1.0. I love subs <3

Can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee when half the bee is not a bee, due to some ancient injury?

If it be a wall the half the bee that is not a bee, then that bee shall be a wallaby.

explain this Quote from Brad Nicholson :3 ^^. Please?

What are the plans for matchmaking?

Y U NO show us the last two faction leaders and icons?!

It's been more than four months since polls on the third one and we still don't know anything but leader name.

Am I really the only one caring about that?

Many people also enjoy these maps. My favorite biome by far.

It is said that gamma is about improving social, and I got the basic clue that gamma would lead to 1.0, Can we also hope for optimizations before 1.0.
the amount of lag and crashes I get is just absurd and the behavior of this game from one system to another is all over the place. plus there are still a good number of serious bugs and exploits out and about.

such as units in the ground, planes going to orbital if assisting an orbital unit, pathfinding and mass extractor wireframe showing opponent's position.

Hi Uber! Thanks for a sweet game. I´ve been following you and backed you on Kickstarter.

I wonder if you can make the Mac standalone client automatically download updates? A simple "Update" next to Exit and Later, would be nice.

Also my chat function has been less working than working a while - even after several updates. I´ve reset the keys a couple of times, but I think it started once I chose to ignore a duplicate key warning.

I'd also like to see other features on moons, maybe giving large craters an additive ridge or something, maybe even some more gradual mountains occasionally.

(Part of the giant equatorial mountain ridge on Iapetus as an example)

Is it possible the game makes a sound when someone joins a slot in the lobby, even when game is minimized or alt+tabbed?

Will we be able to play with multiple commanders in one team, but only in 1 player team? eg 1v1 with 2v2 commanders.

Questions:

1. Map Editor (as in making fully customizable terrain, spawns, distribution of metal, all of it). Will there ever be one or will you work on balancing in the existing editor instead?
2. Unit rooster. How much bigger can we expect it to get and how do you feel about the relationship between basic and advanced.
3. Economy balance. In a previous build storage was added to the commander in what i thought was an attempt to allow us to go factory first, without having to build resources. Was this a misunderstanding on my part or is it an idea you've abandoned?
4. Please read if you haven't already: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/what-is-economy-balance.58470

As always, thanks for doing a fantastic game and thanks for being so transparent. It is very appreciated. You are all doing a great job.

Doesn't the OS X launcher work for you?

Does <Command> + <Enter> work for you in that case?

Ah! Will the Feature be back that we can see when a player has left the game? ( like before for example a grey name?)
This was really helpful.

Will you take balancing in the direction you took with the current PTE build (64758-balance)...please ?

everyone that I've played with on teamspeak, mumble or skype so far has asked me this : "couldn't they make the planets in PA entirely navigable by scroll wheel? " I tell them it's definitely one of my first impressions as well and I'm hoping it'll make it's way back in.

Considering if you center the cursor on the planet it zooms straight in and straight out?

Can we please get navigation by scroll wheel back?

You had to have won an invite only first official Planetary annihilation tournament, that happened just 2 week ago IIRC. Ot you have to be an AI.

Here's my question:

Since the majority of community would like the balance take an entire different route than advanced being an upgrade, is uber prepared to accommodate us?
