    Steal this from supcom 2. It made things so much easier to control. What happened was units were auto put into groups. This was a really nifty feature.

    Hi,

    me too.

    The tactical signs are too similar to each other, it is hard to differ between a combat bot and a fabrication bot.

    Just make it so I can disable it. Feels way to arbitrary. What if I want only 3 of those 6 tanks?

    In supcom 2, when you selected those 3 tanks, it would of split them off into a group for you. Then when you zoom out, you can click the thing.

    My cursor is too big, big and clunky. I think this will get better with time though.

    Ah so that's how it was supposed to work. Sounds like a useful feature in theory and I guess many people might like it. Personally I didnt like it and disabled it. So I am asking for that option ;)

    My only problem with the auto-group feature of SupCom2 was that when you selected a group of units, they would always try to gather to move in formation (forward units would slow down to wait for the units behind them - fast units would match speed with the slowest unit in the group). This was a problem when you just wanted to have units reach the destination as quickly as possible. Apart from that, i really liked it.

    As do I.

    But personally I feel like the auto-grouping mechanic kinda get in the way after a while and end up being a bit of a hindrance to selecting individual units at range like the commander of buildings.

    But.....what if command groups (Ctrl+1...) could visually display like this? That could be a good set up for this.

    I own SupCom 2.
    But have only played it through once years ago.
    With the latest patch, and my ceaseless obsession about UI, is it worth playing?

    Considering the usual opinion to it, it can't be worth any less.
