    Dear Team,
    please add that Phoenix can attack normal units and not only other planes.
    Thanks

    if they were to add attack on groundunits to it it should be severly nerfed in damage .. and missiles changed to lasers ...

    but at the moment I cant use them the Ai only has ground troups and so they are usless. And OP?! And what is with the Katalysators?! They are OP!!!
    I just want to use my normal planes on other planets like port them through the Portal. (or a Transporter for them)

    in that case you would have to wait for the implementation of orbital carriers


    also catalysts are not op at all ... they take a lot of time to build are easily countered with a smash before being finished ... or nukes or slammerdrop
    also catalists and annihilasor are meant to be gameender weapons ... so if you let your opponent build them you pretty much deserve loosing to it ... same with smashtoids

    Uber, pls add so that the Phoenix can also build structures and fire planet-destroying lasers.

    Btw, Catalysts are not op. They can actually be countered relatively easy.

    The phoenix are supposed to be used in conjunction with another unit. They are not supposed to be a end all be all invasion unit, therefore it fits a specific niche of protecting ur invasion beachhead.

    More specifically, the Phoenix is meant to help clear planet-drowning air swarms on enemy-held planets. They also allow you to harass swarms of air fabbers, which are often preferred for mass-assist economy dumps since they can stack tightly and not trap themselves between buildings. This means that Catalysts, nukes, econ, and global metal patrols (often on new worlds) can be addressed without the herculean task of making a successful beachhead and building air factories.

    I say no to the phoenix attacking ground units, but I would like to see the phoenix have a high RoF, low damage gun for Air to Air combat along with missiles. Balanced to not make t1 fighters obsolete of course. Only able to fire it with straight forward line of sight. I wanna see huge fighter dog fights not just be missiles everywhere.

    If you still want it, I'll throw it into a tiny mod. I really don't have an opinion either way.
