    Anyone else noticed that we now have a new commander in our list that wasn't shown to us? And no i don't mean the raptor, its a Quadraped commander (like a spider, only missing 4 more legs) Looks really cool though.

    Maybe im behind on my news but now we have 4 playable commanders and i like this.:D

    Sorry if it was talked about else where.

    Edit: Also a new single laser cannon has been added.

    Here you go.
    I hope they'll name him the Overlord Commander. That'd be a nice name for him, I think.

    Though for me the Single Laser Turret is missing an icon in the build menu.
    Still have to try one, though, my first game after the update lost server connection when it started to get interesting :/

    i took a really good look at that single laser tower. it's kind of the exact same as the regular tower....but it's got less range, and that's about it i think. i'm still wondering why they put that there.

    It's a cute LLT and nice and consistent with the other one. Although now it makes me wish the 3-barrelled one rotated while firing a lá G.A.A.T.

    Yeah I noticed, too.
    But it's a really nice model :)

    Looking for a name for the new commander why not Zoidberg?

    Ha, you guys haven't seen anything yet in terms of commanders. More coming soon...

    Also we are playing with the balance of turrets and felt like there was a gap there that a single barrell tower could fill. Expect more units to roll out as well to start filling out the gaps in other parts of the roster.

    I really like these broad unit choices you guys are aiming for. Instead of having factions with a unique roster, we have the ability for a wide range of play style. I know that in the end most games get broken down into those final "only build these or else you lose" elitism, but I think we can break that as much as possible here with lots of variety.

    Unless you've changed your mind on how many Commander rigs are available and/or the flexibility of the proportions of those rigs and their associated animation sets...

    I mean... the Alpha still walks like the Delta, has the same proportions as the Delta... he just looks like the Delta, especially from a distance.

    Just click the commander icon below your name when in a game loby. It will cycle through the options just like your color does.

    Well, I for one really like the Quadmander (or whatever Uber decides to call it). And now I'm really excited thanks to neutrino's post above. CAN'T WAIT!

    Also, there is another thread on this new commander here (with more pictures).

    Hm... I for one can't change anything. I click the commander icon (on a left from my name, there isn't one below it) and nothing happens.
