Gamma Livestream Question Thread

I thought retail keys had already been activated with the last big price drop...

Will there be options for game conditions like: no nukes , no artilery, T1 only, unit cap (optional) killing commander does not win etc. ? Handicaps done per player/AI, possibility to manually pick starting spots for AI.

Considering PA hasn't been released yet and still in a development state. There are no retail keys yet.

No, when game becomes "live" I will have 3 keys.

What about the overhaul on strategic icons? is that happening 'soon'? Or will we see that immediately?

Iet me clarify the current key that is activated right now will be usable after release. Hence the same key.

yes, but I have 2 other keys and was asking about them

The answer is when the game is released. That's when retail keys will be activated. Sort out the confusion my bed. Sorry about the confusion. My bad.

What ever happened to the egg concept?

Are there any plans for advanced mobile AA?

Are there plans to limit shared control of commanders? I love the shared army mode of team-based play within PA, but I cannot count how many times my commander has accidentally been grabbed by someone else and walked directly into the enemy.

I think commanders should only be able to be controlled by their specific owner. Pressing the commander hotkey should not select everyone's commanders.

Will Galactic War allow a single player to start a game, leave for real life (it happens!), and pick up later where he left off?

When is the livestream today?

*Legit question is legit*

Galactic War is turn based. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/psa-what-galactic-war-actually-is.53312/

Thanks for the link, that explains Galactic War nicely. I also did a bit more searching and found a thread discussing the planned game save features; just the ticket. This is some impressive software!

Holy questions batman.

As my Gran alway said, better get crackin!

Downloading new patch now!

And like I said, it would look weird to have blacked out planets or planets shrouded in fog which dissapears after scouting. I think the PA lore would be that the planet has been scanned before the commander is launched there.

Thanks for your response!!

I really like this idea; it would make commander rushing harder as well since each owner would have to be microing their respective commander during an assault, taking attention away from their base micro.

Anyway, questions:

- Is balance moving towards a build where the game is competitively playable using just one factory type? e.g. If I wanted to play with just air, or just vehicles, I could do so and not be at a major disadvantage? I feel like if the enemy was spamming T2 air for instance, that there should at least be an option to build flak bots if you already had a bot heavy build, instead of being required to invest in T2 air as well for mobile air protection.

- Has the cost of T1 p-gens been discussed at all balance-wise? Needing a lot of them is cool, and so is fabricators requiring a lot of energy, but the pace at which they build currently seems to force a lot of hard power stalls in the early game pretty easily. If they built a bit faster, I think it would be easier to dig yourself out of the eco hole and get back to having fun.

Will the Orchestral soundtrack be updated and cleaned up more(quite a bit of static in game and out of game)?

What are you plans for clan systems? Will Clans be able to reserve names(such as Ballistic Logistics and/or The Realm) before the system is implemented(so others don't grab the name)?
