    i would like to know could u make bases automate and send out troops so u could focus on new base on other worlds and also if you do is it gunna be a repeat build button like on supreme commander or are you going to make a setting so you can mass units autonomously and send them after they mass.

    A repeat button will be in. I'm unsure what your first question is; if you set a rally point and use the repeat button, a base can amass an army without you ever looking at it again, yes...?

    I see what you're saying OP... managing multiple bases in supcom wasn't really an issue because you could skip to them easily on the map, but bases on other planets? Might be difficult to skip to them... Perhaps you could set base markers (base 1, base 2 ect.) that you could bind to keys so you could change to each one instantly... ?

    Oooh, that's a good idea!

    What about waypoints? If you have nothing selected, Ctrl + *character* becomes a waypoint?

    And about that, could we have Ctrl + *character*, instead of Ctrl + *0-9*? Pretty please? :p

    They could just add location control groups like in bw/sc2.

    i mean they mass then attack without having to manually press attack that way your not just wasting troops

    Determining where and when to strike is such a complex choice that it can never be automated. Leave that to AI players.
