Surly this page is made for the thoughts of theories. Theres lots of talk about balance and gui and com morphs etc. If this isnt the place for such talk where is ?BS....
Go play OTA!!!!! to see how this works instead of coming up with stupid theories.
The posted letter from Sheekel prompted my response, as did the comments of previouse posts. I thought this was brazenly clear ?
Your basically turning off an automated function. Its impossable to say it would not would impact micro capasity, on any player.It does not slow down gameplay.
I do notice its there, i have played ota. Your implying the lack of automation would make little differance, as "i am unaware of its benifits" [exageration not quiotation] IF so it would be only to become accustomed to the feature & to naturally take advantage of it and its labour saving servaces.You just have to adjust los correctly for units and turrets since till now you didn't even notice it was there.
If my frunt line has a guardian and some popups, and a player advances on my possition, i want my arty to fire as soon as possible to get more shots in the time frame. If i have to waist time manually targeting radar blips, the delay from firing will effect my maximum damage output. Meanwhile my static units are not moving to their correct possion fast enough. With automated targeting i can concentrate purely on my unit formation and placement.
Do NOT dissrespect vets, especially ones as articulate with the ways of rhetoric as PintleKeep going in the same rout for even less players as oldfags like Pintle eventually leave.
Hes subitted many good arguments in forums before, and does not deserve such comments. My concepts appear to be so radical to stur up such a respons from you, i dont see how this can pass as anything else but "drastic". Its just an oppinion.XTA is dying.if you have balls make a drastic change if you don't fall into oblivion and kill the mod,at least for spring.
GizThis has nothing to do with new models,that's a completely different decision and i actually support adding new models as long as they don't look completely off beat.
Firstly, my comment was inside brackets, so yes it was slightly off topic but none the less highlighted as such. Secondly, Sheekel is a good modeler and I was urging him on to make models for xta. No where have i stated that i was against new models nor stated you were against such development. I dont understand what i said to provoke that response.[with all new shiney models from sheekel that is] *hint* *hint*
Im not flaiming here, just clearly explaining my train of thought which i assumed was clear. I hope this post expands on my previouse thoughts. And for the record i was only apposed to the radar function being forced on the player "standard game play" none optional.

"If the majority of people would like such radar changes, PLEASE only make it OPTIONAL in the battle room."
Surly im entitled to my own oppinion; as are you, yourself. I trust this post hasent been viewed as bashfull.
Infact i have a tool to unilaterally change such information [LOS] in the FBI files. Your welcome to a copy if you wish? I asked Napkin to make it for me when i was toying with the idea of XTA-Turbo [a faster top speed and faster acceleration vertion of xta] But that got took over by the dynamic mod options Noruas implimented.
Advanced appologies for any misstakes in the post, its 2am
