    Look out in coming...... I have been around since day 1 so have seen many changes. I backed this game from Kickstarter.
    I seem to of played more in alpha less in beta and not so much now can take or leave it. Don't get me wrong it is a good game but Supreme Commander FA is still the daddy and lets face it Yes it is the game to compare it to. I feel what makes FA so good PA is missing. Sheilds, exps, Bigger transporters, unit and building sizes, commander upgrades. sorry but there are many more and i feel PA has a long way to go. I have in a post here and there asked about planet colour and the look and feel seems washed out but never answered. I do wish the team all the best but feel I may wait a while now and come back at a later date to see where the game is going.

    I do NOT feel I have wasted my money have had a lot of fun playing.

    Let me give you a quick run-down on the general opinion on shields:

    Experimentals aren't happening either.

    FA is not the daddy, it is the role model.

    Upgrades go against the WYSIWYG philosophy, so those aren't happening either.

    Unit and building sizes? Do you mean in relation to the planet?

    Use a bigger planet.

    You can always use a bigger planet, but terrain feature sizes don't scale. In my opinion, the terrain is what should be improved here; almost all features are small enough to just path around in an extra few seconds, and the only types of features you can find are unpathable obstructions and unpathable holes (with the exception of metal planets, and the negligibly small plateaus).

    Hey, we could also revive the following topics:
    • T3 units
    • Activating unit abilities by button
    • Metal-generators
    • Projectiles must be dodgeable!!!!!!111111eleven
    And now wait while I get my signed copy of the Necronomicon.

    In theory this is a nice idea, and I mean it. But PA-Setting doesn´t seem to have any mirrors ...

    "Great Turtles", everything you said was positive up to your dismissal. Does not compute.
