    FA was a stand-alone expansion, with a new faction, new campaign, and new units for everything.
    Core Conteingency just had a new campaign and new units for the exiusting sides. As well as new planets to play with.

    Perhaps a Expansion of PA might even have more planet Biomes.... Maybe even Crystal Planets!

    Define Mega unit; then we can have a conversation.

    There's a difference between " Bigger because it's Better " and " Bigger because it needs to be ".
    The former needs to die in a fire.

    One of the most powerful units in RCBM right now, cost for potential, is the Boom!. It is also the smallest unit in the game, not because it's weak and needs to be shown to be weak via its size, but because it needs to be small to fulfil its function.

    Same goes for anything that gets bigger; the only reason for something to be big is because it would be unable to perform it's function if it were smaller.

    You'd be surprised at how many people would not only take what you said at face value, but actually believe it.

    Yeah I want them so badly!
    The lack of "experimental" units and shield technology is what makes me think that I would never prefer PA to SC. It is not a matter of balance for me, it is a matter of fun factor.

    And as for huge units, well, let's hope for a mod, and that they would be realy huge, like a kind of planetary annihilator. :)
    I would love something like this:

    (sorry as a new user I am not allowed to add picture links in my posts, remove the spaces in the url)

    They would not be just very powerful units. They may be like an end game threat that may justify to abandon a planet to nuke it to the bones or to get it smashed by moons in order to get rid of this ultimate threat. Also, they may not be able to make interplanetary moves, and must be build on the planet where they are meant to be used.

    They may also be used as bosses guarding a planet in GW.

    you do know that the universim came after PA though, right? :)

    (and to me it should be paying royalties to PA but hey, that's just me.)

    Yes, I know, the Universim isn't even playable yet, but I do not really get your point... Does it change anything ?

    Royalties... why the hell would they feel obligated to pay Uber royalties?
