    Never said they weren't!

    But the idea you can just pick up my commander is, and would mean that every game would start with the need for an AA gun or running the risk of losing right of the bat, because that's what will happen, every one rushes for transports and the meta game ruins the entire game for anyone who wants to play online and isn't already aware.

    This game doesn't need a cheese tactic.

    You implied that ridicules things shouldent be included becuse they are ridicules. I then pointed out that death stars and teleportation is ridicules too, so either you feel that those shouldent be included since they are also ridicules, or your argument isent valid.

    ^^ You see problems without even considering solutions.

    As i said before, if they include such a thing (in my opinion), they would need to limit the ability so it cant be used easily. A long pickup time perhaps, or that the transport has to be tech 2, etc.

    If they add it, they should add it as a fun & awsome feature and not as a realy usefull feature. So it would be realy hard to pull it of but people would try just for the laughs and awsomeness.

    But then you run the risk of such a feature being never used.

    If its awsome it will be used.

    It might be a suicide move on the top of the ranked ladder, but the majority of gamers arent in the top.

    If that's the best counter argument there is, it belongs in the game.

    W...was that a joke at my expense? grrr ;)

    But I do have a counter idea, what about a specialized aircraft designed to stun and lock down enemy large units?

    Useful in an assault when you need and enemy unit or building to stop but don't have the time to kill it.

    Sorta like a flying spider tank from TA?
