I think its time to add some default widgets as standard in BA?, its my opinion, so new players dont play in less conditions as pro players.
Widgets like:
-Blast radius: usefull for techers show blast radius of units

-Auto heal assist repair comless: usefull for front players to autoheal units with cons or rezzers but not with coms, so it wont put them on danger to repair stuff sometimes.

-Unit stats: shows stats of units like dps damage etc, i think its a nice widget that shows performances, and help new players to show what unit does more damage or less

its an opinion only, all the way is for help noobs, if u guys have better widgets then say and may moddev add in BA

IMHO not a bad idea. Even playing BA since some time, I wasn't aware of all the widgets you listed...

BTW, is there a widget, which lets you see in numbers (not only a bar) how much energy/metal income your team members have?
Edit: Just noticed that I have one running since ages which does exactly this when I hover over it... never noticed that before in the heat of the game.

I agree so much, widgets are so useful and it is unfair that new players dont get them with the mod. Even experienced players sometimes dont find all of them (including me, i just tested blast radius and unit_stats).

I would add also (at least for me it is very useful):

- Autoquit
- auto_reclaim_heal_assist
- autofirstbuilding
- camera_smooth_move or camera_smoothcam (dunno which one)
- gui_adv_playerlist
- gui_commandinsert
- gui_easyfacing
- snd_volume_osd
- unit_bomber_control (how can this one dont be part of the mod?)
- unit_customformations
- unit_dgun_unstall or something like this.
- unit_factoryguard
- unit_ghostradar
- unit_ghostsite
- unit_immobile_builder
- unit_improved_metal_maker
- unit_initial_queue
- unit_onlyfighters_patrol
- unit_smart_area_reclaim
- unit_smart_select

Really, imo, all these widgets can help players and should be part of BA mod.

Optional: lolui is quite a good ui for BA imo.

Those are already included in BA.
Thanks for the other suggestions though, I think I will add (at least some) at the weekend.
