For Backers Only: Unit Whitebox Sheet

+1 to this. Playability is key, and we are talking planets with diameters on the order of tens of km I would guesstimate. A 270 m battleship has no place in an ocean that is just a few km from shore to shore.

One thought for the BBs - it would be awesome if you could somehow add a shockwave effect in the water coming off the guns when they fire, and/or a rocking animation when the ship fires a broadside.

the building to the left of the unit cannon could be terraformer, that would be pretty cool.

I like!

Keep up the good work.

The old school power plant looking buildings made me chuckle for some reason....

Me too

Shockwave on the water would be awesome!

Someone mentioned earlier that there should be some sort of way to know immediately the difference between kbot factories and vehicle factories. While a little subtle, having ramps for vehicles to roll off the factory and steps for kbots to walk down after being built might achieve this somewhat.

I really like most of the designs so far but I can't help but notice the distinct absence of a cat-shaped scout unit! :x

Not all units are there so....

THERE IS HOPE!

I know I'm not done yet, sorry! xD

Love this! One note on factories:

The factories seem to come in 2 sizes (big & small), but in-game you may be zooming in and out often and won't be able to tell if a factory is big or small unless there happens to be something sitting next to it for context. There should be a subtle design difference that distinguishes a large factory from a small one so they are easier to read at a glance.

Fantastic work, I'm so excited!

So far thing are looking great to me. Though when completing the factories, do please make each one look unique beyond just size differences.

I do have to agree on the navel units should look like they don't have a bridge. But on the other hand, each ship might have something like a large computer that is the unit's 'brain'. It's hard for me to say which one I prefer.


And this I would have to say is a wall unit. If it is, I think it would have to look more similar to what was in Supreme Commander. But as long as it's unique, I won't complain.

Regardless, things are looking awesome, and please keep the awesomeness coming!

Wall!

Even Theta commander doesn't know!

It is all about relative size.
The tank is about 10 meter which is about the same as in the real world.

Another thing that I find strange is that a carrier is much smaller then a battleship.
A carrier would normally be the largest ship of the fleet.
It has to carry a lot of planes and stuff.

Well you are assuming that ship is a carrier, it was mentioned that there are more units that haven't been shown yet so it might not even be a carrier.

That comment about it being a toaster made me think of something, the toaster pop up cannon from TA, so maybe half the structure is underground. Just a thought.

Not a carrier.

Also the block thing is a blocker. Don't worry, we'll have cool blockers.

I smell tactical missile ship ( something like that )

and i like how knight stalks the forum every minute without any amount of sleep to get the news first.

...thinking about it some more, I bet this is regular factory and an advanced factory ala TA, which means you are probably already planning a design difference, just haven't had time to do it yet. Anyway, this is all ridiculously badass, carry on!
