    It is especially slow since there is this moment where you have to scroll a bit for it to do anything at all. I'd much rather just seemlessly zoom out further and further

    Nice one, didn't know about that. I would still like that tray to be visible so I don't have to cycle through all of the planets (my current system has 4).

    Either unit hp has been increased or damage has been dropped. A.A turrets are not very useful now if you don't spam them. Possibly t2 A.A coming soon?

    Pretty disappointing turrets got buffed even harder. For just 4.5 tanks you get a very powerful turret that now outranges tanks and outclasses levellers.

    Did something change a few minutes ago? I reconnected from a game where the "settings change makes some units disappear" glitch happened, and PA now crashes on startup at a black screen. Tried reboot, re-install, and verify. Was playing earlier too...


    edit: dxdiag. Pa.exe has stopped working. Only thing that shows up is the blue cursor and a black screen before the crash.

    I tried them, and they could be weaker, but between where they were and are. Bombers could do a little more damage, I would have liked them taking just an extra shot more but in retrospect I like them taking a lot more shots, just not as many as they do now. Overall, things can be adjusted.

    Meanwhile, you do know artillery could still peck a turret right? Making the cost not matter because whatever the cost was it's worthless when its dead.

    Besides that, you can still bulk build an army faster with that very efficient factory pumping them out opposed to clunkier structure building.

    Overall, turrets do have pros and cons besides their basic balance. They lose outright when they can be attacked and not attack back, and the more dense they are the more likely they are to all become losses to the same attack that the turret couldn't return fire on. Not to mention the turret's range could be less, but once your army gets in range they can kill one and immediately switch fire to the next one so the losses due to turret range are only really suffered once not multiply.

    What?? They cost less than 5 tanks and take far far more than that to take one out. Their dps and hp has been buffed in line with the metal cost except they also have more range so they really aren't weaker than before. You do realise it takes 35 seconds to kill a single turret with a pelter right? You aren't actually suggesting that's a good counter? Even if you have a lot of production to build units fast enough I can spend a fraction of the metal cost to completely crush your tanks several times over?

    BUG: When a unit has a build queue with a "complete building that" order in the middle of it, they will sometimes skip over the thing to finish building

    edit:
    SIM terminated.
    when? Just now.
    why? probably 7 planets....... or the fact that a build was released.
