This will fix everything.* *Almost nothing, actually. By speed, I mean of course the Astraeus' traveling speed in the air layer. On a planet, the Astraeus is slow. Way slow. Not fast enough. Sluggish. Knuckle-dragging, never-going-to-get-anyone-to-the-church-on-time kind of slow. Speed it up. Hard Numbers What is that you say? You want hard numbers? Alright. Let's give it a 70. Move speed: 70, brake: 70, vertical speed: 70, acceleration: 35. For the uninitiated, most air units move at speed 90. The Astraeus is currently speed 10 (vertical is 50).
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't still a little buggy. Transports don't always seem to load right, so you have to sit around and watch it do its dance while there are other things you should be paying attention to. I usually make orbital fabbers instead just because I can do that with less micro.
It would help the Astraeus to have a couple more uses than just emergency Commander evacuation and Vanguard drops.
