I've only skimmed the last page so i'm not sure if this has been suggested, but a cloaked ship class (i.e. submarine) would be cool. maybe even with anti-ship and anti-planet versions (or just different abilities, weapons, and/or upgrades). Naturally, you'd need a destroyer class ship to detect them.
[quote who="Taranabug" reply="8" id="3475692"] Quoting Ryat, reply 7 Rebellion is such a common word. I would understand if it was a unique name but usage of a common word and to try and "trademark" it is ridiculous. What next? The word "The"? I am glad you guys won.

wow, that's great. nice, classic style.
[quote who="WOEaintME" reply="6" id="3425717"] Zooming in is a pain as the bright white burst consumes half of the gravity well, meaning you are blind on that side.[/quote] True, but look at the bright side (sorry, couldn't resist), if you click on an Advent culture tower there's a slight bass thump when the announcer says "Victory is at hand for the Unity" and it makes it feel like you're at an Advent rave.
Desert, b/c I play advent the most. I wish random maps had an option for starting on a desert world rather than terran since advent need terran research to improve desert worlds.

[quote who="trigorin" reply="9" id="3381786"] It would be better if resource bonuses were not hard-coded.[/quote] Agreed. Then we might be able to fine tune the difficulty levels a little more.
this does make a good case for having a wider range of difficulty levels with a smoother gradient to satisfy most players. I had seen some discussion regarding the Hard level but I don't believe changing anything above that was discussed or asked for (unless I missed it).
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="8" id="3368294"] There is no longer any easy way of modding such a limit in the game, so I would be surprised if one existed.[/quote] Could you change the cannonGravityWellRatioDenominator to something larger than 4 depending on what one wanted to do? Like if you just want one superweapon, make it 1000 or if you want to make different mods with slightly larger values for different size maps. Haven't tried this m
I played a few 4 player ffa's with the AI. it was harder but i did win 2 games with TEC and Advent rebels (I lost with the loyalist versions of each race). part of it just seems like luck of the draw based on how the AI's ally and if you make an AI friend in your game. If i get into a 2 front war, it's over.
i haven't played the new ai yet so I can't comment on the specifically, BUT it would be nice if there were some sort of damage and/or income handicaps you could apply to AI's on top of the difficulty level (i've seen other RTS's do this) so if Normal is too easy but Hard is too hard, you can find a happy medium. Alternatively, if this were easily moddable some where...(anyone know if this is possible?).

[quote who="bilun" reply="73" id="3223190"] Quoting stein220, reply 72maybe a dumb suggestion but what light frigate abilities could also target titans? it's not an extreme counter but would just limit/prevent titans from using abilities. plus they die quickly enough that so long as you could clear them out (presumably with lrfs), you would eventually be able to use your titan's abilities as normal. Would be way too easy to to shut down titans

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="57" id="3212902"] Quoting bilun, reply 19Also @Yarlen: I have a quick question I've been meaning to ask on the topic of the Advent Loyals: Since implementation The Coronata's Repossession has never applied on-colonization effects, most notably Assimilated Populace, which especially now with assimilated populace being buffed is going to matter. My question is this: Is this a bug as most people assume or was it a concious decision on the part
not taking advantage of assimilated populace is the main bug with it, as others have mentioned.
these proposed changes sound good.
