    I actually cannot play the game until these issues are fixed. Most games my factories won't build because units get stuck as soon as theyre built and they back up into the factory stopping production.

    Best bet *at the moment* is to play on moon biome maps as they have less obstacles to cause problems. The issue is they very recently changed the entire pathing system so we're back to the start in terms of tweaks- the changes they made however should result in a better system overall in the long run. In the mean time, hang in there!

    Pathing is easily the most urgent thing that needs fixing. Currently we haven't had better pathing than TA.

    Yeah possibly, from my experience of RTS is probably one of the most difficult things to get right as well though (and from what I remember, TA had pretty good pathing). You've also got to remember, PA is pathing on multiple spherical maps all at the same time- it's remarkable they've got it as good as it is. I think it's safe to say this is something they're working hard on though.

    Yeah. im not really playing atm. i love the moon but only playing on the moon is boring.

    And 9 out of 10 games my commander gets stuck, and its just game over.

    Your "computer gets stuck"? That doesn't sound normal!

    Can you expand on what happens exactly? What type of game are you playing (FFA, 1 v 1, teams?), what sort of systems and what happens when it gets stuck? If it's a case of units 'pause' whilst everything else is working it could be server related, however if your UI freezes up or your machine otherwise falls over there is probably something wrong your end...

    It says COMMANDER. COM-MAN-DER. :)

    It happens on all planets again well besides moons so far.

    Worst is definitely metal planets and lava planets, still happens on tropical and ice planets as well. It can be near doodads. It can just be out on random flat ground, where suddenly the commander or any other unit refuse to do anything, he will not move. he will build around himself and thats it.
