    Like many here, I've put probably more hours into PA than any other game this year, and through I just play VS. AI, its been such a absolute joy to play - so thank you Uber team for making this a wonderful experience. The victory ferrets are in the post! ^^

    But yes, but have a small list of things I'd like to at least say my piece on if I could please... proposed for consideration (and probable dismissal... ^_^)

    Rebuild - An Engineer circle command. Rebuilds on destroyed building husks and discounts % of metal still left from husk / aids rebuild speed.

    Similar to Sup Com but instead its a sweeping circle (like area patrols for example) going over the buildings destroyed to be replaced / rebuilt on. No fiddly rotations to get the angle just right or picking the buildings from a build list. Would make rebuilding quick, easier and less micro to boot.

    Game modes - Could we add some more game modes please? Commander sniping the CPU can be anti-climactic when he suicides randomly, so modes like Conquest (Lose only when there are no more Factories and engineers) would be a nice option here.

    Select amount of planets to play on - In the lobby, next to the 'new System', if you could pick how many planets it should generate on reload, that'd be useful. Knowing it'll only pick X amount each re-roll would be very considerate.

    Assign planet to commander/s - In the lobby, having a list of the spawn available planets on a list and being able to select which one would be nice addition to customize the battle ground and spawns.

    Armory Commanders Images - I'm all for the skins of the commanders, but could we have images of them in game, or a small 20 second video of it and how it looks in action. I'd be more willing to pay if I knew what it looks like top down / in more detail.

    Colours (damn it!) - With Burnt Custard's help ( https://forums.uberent.com/threads/i-like-to-draw-here-are-some-colours.63353/page-4#post-1029442) I've been able to somewhat do this, with any chance could we could pick primary and secondary colours on a colour wheel for our armies in the game menus, PLEASE! x_X

    Armory CPU Commanders - Make it so the AI has selectable commanders in skirmishs OR uses the full roster of the ones bought in the Armory. Currently its only limited to using a few of them, and its a shame not to see a bigger range.

    Now for the lesser 'other' wishlist items or things on my mind.

    Solo Planet Unit Cannon
    - Instead of a system wide range, how about a cheaper version that can't fire outside the planet its built on? Would open up mobility at least.

    Wall Around - Love a much less micro-intense way to protect structures with walls as an option. Hovering the wall over the top of a building or defense could template a wall box around it?, or maybe something we could circle drag a dome over an area?

    ATM, it just seems very time consuming to get right, ESP when the engineer could be destroyed so easily and is all for nothing.

    Misc. Buildings - Repair towers like combat engineers but stationary to fix units and buildings and Anti-Missile Defense as an alt to the sniper bots ability perhaps?

    Misc.
    Units - Just the usual other units that have been brought up as well in the past. Hover tanks for water / lava access - Anti-Orbital Tank for mobile protection - Submarines and what not.

    Not all ideas are going to be winners (as I'm sure many will say in the replies ^^), but I'd like to believe some of the top ones could be pause for thought. Thanks for taking the time to read - cheers!

    oh, and if you want to play a commander to see what it is like, launch PA but don't login. Play a single player match (if not enabled, go to settings, server, and turn local server on) and you can pick any com in the game- for sale or not.

    Good to know, and thanks for the reply - however I'm sure if I feel this way about picking up the commanders, then other plays will too. Uber pay note ^^

    I'm all for supporting the team and the game with the money this way, but I'd just like a little more context for what I'm getting my hands on / with or without knowing that useful bit of info ^^
