would you want an option for capping units in the hosted games settings that is disabled by default?

    if the AI is building more units than you, you're doing it wrong

    That is a very weak argument, considering that PA already has a lot of characteristics of other RTS. And I don't think the "no unit cap" feature is what makes PA unique. PA is basically a variation of Supcom on spherical maps, with multilayer gameplay, shared army options and the ability to destroy planets. That wouldn't change if it had a unit cap (also we are just talking about an option here!).

    It's TA's spiritual successor, not supcom's.

    Again.

    SERIOUS miscommunication and/or misinformation going on here.

    SC (if by SC you mean starcarft) did NOT have unit cap. it had Supply. And only 200 of it.

    one game that DID have "unit cap" (word for word) is FA of FAF with a cap of 1500 per player. for a total cap on a 12 player map of 18000 units structures and buildings.

    .....

    ONCE again. PA runs up to 4000 then starts crapping out.

    that's not a good thing


    BTW I saw a little error up there that I must rectify. PA is not just TA's spiritual successor and by the devs own admission at that. so stop spouting nonsense like that that doesn't even constitute a proper retort.
