    Simcity yeeep. The only sort of expansion that would take place would be in decent players building proxy bases consisting of factories and a wall of PD and AA, which was fine. I'm just not a fan of shields. t2 units were for people who just had their base rushed while setting up proxy base with commander once their eco was in ruins. Personally I used t2 UEF bomber rush to snipe com which was kinda lame and boring. Btw, when i say t2 - i mean troops not buildings. I really loved t2 buildings in FA and they MADE the game. Sadly, I'm gonna miss the 3 hour turtle games at 2am and of course Phanty.

    EDIT: Spam - This is a non-issue in PA as, sure, you may have a number of units, but you'll split them up into different groups. A couple for helping to expand, bigger ones for attacking and others for flanking. This makes it more fun and less 'blobby'. 'Spam' is probably the wrong word but I mean the BLOB vs BLOB of FA got tiresome.

    Jesus Christ! that is so hopelessly misinformed.


    you playing FA like a blueberry is your own damn fault, that is in no way a winning strategy in FA.

    who'd you win against with that? easy AI?

    late 90's game voice acting <3

    Never said it was, but it proves that I have faced and learned from competent players

    Guys, we're not here to debate the merrits or otherwise of previous similar games. FAF has stood the test of time, as has TA and Spring- there are obviously flaws with all of them but the fact that they are still actively played today says everything.

    I personally think that PA will get some things wrong- however they are getting ALLOT very right (especially support modders which is what's kept TA alive and kicking for so long, giving rise to TA:Spring and is also pushing SupCom FA to new levels).

    Right so a number which indicates my wins against competent players means less than an empty threat.

    Well you are right about planet verticality.

    Im stilling hoping for stuff like this.

    [​IMG]
    Now this suddenly feels like your on the surface on a planet, instead of a round ball :)

    But we will see if this is still possible, i for one hope it is. being able to build on these cliffs and mountain tops, place units up there for siege fire. choke points etc.

    Personally i would rather have more detailed planets like this, instead of a galactic war, if push came to shove, quality over quantity after all. Better with fewer more details planets, than having 1000 planets to play on that is all the same.

    I'm sorry, I know that conversing with me can be difficult I tend to force people to use their nogin, as discomforting as that can sometimes be. I will bother you no more.

    just remember that I tried to make peace with you on post N#1 or this argument and you spat in my face:
