    This isn't even all that experimental now, this stuff is in the main branch. I didn't expect we'd get that much so quickly.

    meta [45 seconds in]: "...orbital fabbers can build teleporters...."

    That makes so much sense. Not sure if I can watch the whole thing right now, but just hearing that change was worth opening up youtube.

    Doesn't anyone else think that this game seems much more epic since the new build-time changes?

    Keep them coming.

    We should also have the understanding that not everything shown in the play test will make the cut, but we can still hope.

    @3:42 - Flak cannons mentioned :)
    Was this mentioned in a previous livestream? Haven't had the change to watch them all thoroughly yet.

    Yup, they've been mentioned a few brief times recently. I still haven't seen one in action, but I have the sense that it was shown at one point. Just too much video to watch it all. #firstworldprobl...

    They were in the latest but one playtest video, you saw them built, but not really used.

    Do you have a pic or timestamp of where it can be seen (unless it's just a placeholder model)?

    Err...

    Nah... He starts getting harassed by bombers, builds a flak cannon, moves his camera and you never see it. It just looks like a missile turret. Nothing special. You don't even see it in action. I guess just placeholder.

    Bro you should update Hotbuild.

    Also, scathis is a cry baby. You learn just as much about balance by observing other peoples play. You com bomb him all you like.

    You can see flak used at 1:00:10-40 in



    There were 3 flak cannons and they quite easily stopped a bunch of T1 fighters. But I think in this latest video he said that the flak has been nerfed since then.

    The teleporters look promising. You should have abandoned the main planet and teleported all your units to that moon as soon as you had chevron seven locked. :p

    But if you com-rush the balance guy too much, the commander might get nerfed into the ground, lol.

    You're right!

    I didn't think about it that way.

    Thanks
