    that makes sense, fighters really don't need to be shot by ground AA as much as pelicans might.

    Yup. It can stop "inferno" comm sniping.I am not against inferno drop, but i just don't like when they are drop on my head without micro. And AA trying kill tons of fighters in same time.

    Give that groups already do this, and the AI has platoons, I'm not sure what this change actually is. At first I thought maybe it meant fighters will stay with land units when moved together, but the sub-note seems to indicate that this isn't the case.

    This fixes the case where you have a group of bots and tanks together. If you gave them a move order that passes near water, what would usually occur is the bots would happily go through the water and the tanks would derp on the shoreline, possibly getting stuck permanently. What this changes is the bots and tanks will stay together and follow the shoreline around to the destination.

    This also fixes the case of selecting land and naval units together. Naval will now path together and land will path together. Previously, they would all group together and which path type they chose would be random, which would cause either the land or naval units to derp out.

    Someone must have asked this before because I'm getting an "oh yes, NOW I remember!" reaction :)

    My loading times are unchanged.

    Are you sure it's that mod? That would make no sense anyway.

    Not entirely true, a complex UI mod can increase the time it takes for the UI to be setup and responsive. For example I am certain alerts minimap adds some extra lag to setup the UI because it is a rather complex extra scene that is created. Not even alerts minimap increase the loading time by minutes though, so just some transparent panel should not have that kind of effect.

    @masterdigital don't know if this is a bug or actual intended :) : If you click the button "select all vehicle units in view" while no vehicles are in the view but a vehicle factory is -> the vehicle factory’s will be selected. Same goes for "select all air units in view" and "select all naval units in view".

    $20 says that it was having more than one server mod enabled simultaneously. Don't do that, 90% of server mods are incompatible with each other.

    The unit AI seems to be acting weird. the units don't go around buildings, they try to go though them, also units don't want to go though the portals. This includes Commanders.

    Anyone else having issues with the Astraeus not picking up units? I'm playing a GW game and just can't make them do it.

    Does it matter that my Steam version is still set to the PTE client?

    Edit: Mods are disabled, yes. :)

    Edit 2: Switching back to main and restarting steam seems to have fixed it.

    Like @ViolentMind I had a few issue with the new UI changes, which I had to tweak.
    Before:

    After:

    Don't know if this has already been stated but this can be done via right clicking the icon(s).

    All radars don't use power to detect underwater and there's a problem when placing T1 radars because underwater radar is set to 600 so its max area don't detect land properly.

    hmm the idle selection still seems to be pretty useless if I have fabbers spread accross the planet. I still end up selecting all of them, which means: search around where I now have units selected.
    Selecting the ones on the current screen is a step forward, but often that means "search all places randomly" as well.
    I'd like a way to get "click once and get one idle fabber, click one more time and get the next, etc...".

    Also @n00n I like that css rework a lot. Will steal it and make it a mod on pamm I think. Probably gonna add my "one click one fabber" thing into that as well, if it is possible.

    Colin, for as long as you have been around and supporting this project, how is it that you don't work for Uber? :)

    You can use the "t" key to locate them (if that does nothing see what you've changed the "track selection with camera" hotkey to).

    Errm… Permission granted. ;)

    It does work like that, but that isnt helpful unless you know already you have idle fabbers onscreen. What about fabbers somewhere in random location I forgot about?

    I think there is a severe bug with updates to the idle state of factories, the often only update when the factory/fabber in question is in view. If I queue up 5 dox to a bot factory and then move the camera to watch the other side of the planet then the idle number won't be updated even minutes later. Only when I move the camera to see the bot factory again it updates. This basically means that random factory on a foreign planet I forgot about will stay forgotten, because I would have to look for it before it tells me that it is idle. This "only updates if you observe" also affects the queue information of a factory. Select a factory, scroll away so you cannot see. Queue up units. The queue doesn't update, only when you can see the factory again.
    Fabbers seem to work, they are updated even when I don't observe them.
