    Hi, i'd like to ask if the fact that impact craters are just a visual modification of the envirovment will be changed soon, it's kinda strange to see units walking on air over them... And is lan play still in the list of confirmed features? Because i see no one talking about it, anyway i'd like to greet about the amazing job you've done with annihilazers!

    I'd imagine that the whole craters thing will be a polish feature worked on in time - I'm surprised they're pathable by ground units currently, actually. Should be a relatively easy fix to make it so ground units can't path over them.

    Regarding LAN play, that will occur once the server is released to enable offline play. The technology for offline play is already done (obviously, as it's more or less the same technology used for online play), but Uber need to define a load of stuff regarding how the game handles servers hosted anywhere other than PlayFab.

    The official ETA for offline is "soon", I'm afraid. I'd imagine it's quite high priority post-launch as it's a strongly requested feature and something a lot of the Uber guys want to deliver on.

    Thanks for the reply, anyway yes it would have been better to make craters impossible to walk over by land units, let's hope they will make them 3d soon, i would be awesome to build a base into an impact crater ;-)

    Completely agree. A massive "sod you" to the guy that just dropped a planet on your head :)
