Confirmed features and suggestions

Sheer brilliance!, I lolled.

Thank you!

I was thinking of making it with each of the confirmed features, if I people wanna see it done I'm up for it.

Can you add confirmation of "Moving planets" to the first post? just seen it now .

Can I blow up the sun or cause a flare?

Can I build a dyson sphere or a ringworld?

Can I build the doomsday machine?

Once I've smashed two planets together, how long until I can start harvesting the remains?

Yeah, I'd love that.

I want to be able to adjust all of my keybindings. It's even possible I might want to have multiple keybinding saves for different build plans.

With the huge focus on nanotech being used for construction and deconstruction, I think a nanobot swarm would be an interesting super weapon. It would have an area of effect like a nuke (perhaps smaller) and it would eliminate all units like a nuke, but instead of just destroying the crap out of everything, the enemy units and trees would be automatically harvested for resources.

and another one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y6LZf8wxzM&feature=youtu.be

a black hole weapon to annihilate an enemy planet...

Yes, I had a similar idea, but then I thought it might look very cheap and not authentic, as making it look convincing would be very difficult... units and buildings would have to be eaten away, dynamically. Just having a expanding cloud of "grey goo" without dynamic animations that support the visualization would be kind of boring.

To look convincing it would need to look similar to this:

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, and it's not a big deal...

But could there be some way to access a "seed" for a procedurally generated world? Say you're playing friend A, and you get a planetary system that's just awesome. Blows your mind. And you want to play a game with friend B on aforesaid world. Would there be any way to recreate that world, or once it comes out of the generator, is it gone forever?

This is actually how minecraft makes its worlds, and it's actually a very nice little bonus that I didn't realize at first.

Thats how maps will be saved...

I really hope though we will get some sort of Live Replays... love'em.

In C&C: Red Alert 2, there was a naval unit that was a giant squid. It could sneak up on surface ships, wrap its tentacles around them to immobilize them, and tear them apart.
I know RA2 isn't really everyone's favourite rts around here, but imagine how scary a robotic giant squid would be. Robots are always scarier w/ tentacles.

In my best Butters voice: "SupCom 2 did it!"

I just wanted to get a little clarification about gas giants. When the topic first appeared I thought of similarities to maps from TA such as Ooooweee where air matches were the primary battle. I don't like the idea of gas giants just being resource hubs.

I'd prefer to see the approach that the tademo recorder took. Which was known as .sharemappos which would show your allies as well in recordings, where your screen was looking in real time. You could also do .lockon # in order to follow a players view in real time during replay playback.

Please do not include shields in this game. I think it best to follow TA's example and let the modding community takeover their own visions.

I agree, I've never seen a shield having good gameplay repercussion.

About unit selection size:
please, by all means, no ridiculous small limit like SC or other 'popular' rts... keep it like TA, no limit in number of unit for a selection! (or very high like 1000)

About custom commander (provided to Alpha and/or beta users):
a way to select the one to use at game creation.
