    This was probably the first thing the devs have ever done that was straight up STUPID. Why the hell would you remove this feature?. Their argument was that it was not noticeable... what, so having a yellow and pink com was not noticeable?, so building an army of blue and red bots was not noticeable?. That is BS. Of course it was noticeable!.

    Perhaps it did not really pop out, but that was because most people choose matching colours. You did not question it, because it just looked right. Now I could choose to be black, but have the game choose pink as my secondary colour. I dont want a bloody black and pink army!. Saying that nobody notices it is such and arrogant statement, and just down right wrong.

    And hell, if it really did not matter, then why did you go through the work of removing it?. First you say that there will not be different factions, and now we cannot even customize our bloody colours properly?!

    Honestly, even if it wasn't noticable, I didn't see the problem with it. Tsk, I would have actually added 2 "color schemes", one where secondary color is patches, other where it is trim.

    I wouldn't call it stupid. I would be interested in their ideas for army designations, given my crayon box has 16 colors in it and my PA games have 40 players...

    (PS: Also, if no secondary colors, make the secondary color a neutral color or the same as primary color, getting random pink with a black or blue primary makes me want to just delete commander for no other good reason in the beginning of even a tournament match. Make the secondary color always black or something normal.)

    Relax. It's an obvious thing to add back in. They've gutted pretty much the entire UI we know to repolish it for Gamma - we're also missing pre-loading/indicators and planet size indicators in the lobby (though the current setup looks very snazzy).

    The stuff we've gotten in return is magnificent. Just wait a little while and they'll fix it.

    Bring it back or remove secondary color completely. Make it black, white, or primary color.

    You do know that they specifically stated that they did not intend to reintegrate it?

    You do know they can change their minds, especially if the majority demands it

    Can you explain me how this will be good later? Because there is no good thing for now, just taking away option. No change, just taking away something.

    In the new UI, They didn't put every feature there was before and they will fix that later.
