Spring RTS Engine

For some reason it wont let me add .tex files as well which is sad (and odd) so its included and renamed as .txt, its the source and a bit easier to copy out of.

In any case, I think of quotes as being a great way of storing and distilling ideas.

These should keep you going for a while regret ; )

Oh wow Indiana Jones and star wars, the true sources of history.

Do you know what you just said? When you stop using flashes and move to a slower unit, you automatically state that flash is a useless unit in CA. :) [\quote] I said they are useless in a specific circumstance (IE vs gunship swarm on the defense), they are perfectly useful in many situations, belie...

I really did like homeworld but that kind of movement really only works well in massive open spaces, what you more want is a toggle on planes
low/mid/high alt (I think nota has this now for bombers).

Last I checked warriors killing tanks was immersionbreaking and stupid.

On thinking, I am inclined to agree with pxtl about them having no clearly defined niche, I view them as opportunistic/response units, you attack weakness and avoid strength (And deal with stuff in your backfield), if someone is constantly pwning your flashswarms with them, maybe you want to move to...

Popup AA is where its at, also scouting.

In terms of unit based AA, levelers are decent, and facsthatwereformerlyt2 AA units work pretty well

Also massive defender spam whittles them well. (And is generally handy)

Looking at the old modstats thingy , it seems that there are lots of weird minor differences between core and arm (EG fusion cost and output) is this intended?

Yeah dest back gun didnt need improving, if anything the front needs cutting.

A fix for the planes would be lovely, I lose a good third of mine each game to that bug.

I am not so much in favour of RPS gameplay and more against every game playing roughly the same as is the case in current sea. Options mean there are more viable ways to win or play the game, and ideally the better player wins. As far as the hammer thing goes, arty and levelers in 1:1 mix pretty muc...

I dont think I have ever seen a game of it with players...

Either way a flagship game seems like a bad idea, I am in favour of SD being used despite its annoyances.

actually vecs are not a counter 2 thuds.....nota is not rps in that aspect, what wins you games is not what counter you use...but how u use your thuds(+ what support you use)..... Leveler / arty spam hardcounter thuds easy, just as rocko counters stump/flash hard. also i rlly like sea gameplay in n...

What variations? Dessie spam, Cruiser jammer rush, BC rush and...?

Land faction balance is a bit funky yeah, arm have a few advantages in things, but overall core have a general advantage.

The point is, to axe vanilla ones. So if you dont bring ASW destroyers your battlecruiser gets sunk by subs, forget the AA its planes? Only one of each? Gank it and repeat. If destroyers dont counter everything, then capital ship rushes will be far less effective, requiring more balanced fleets. Cur...

if anyone want 2 recreat sup-com 4 spring, this is a greeat idea Howso? Supcom only has 1-2 ships for each weightclass? The main issue is really sea is too make or break, in a pros game its over by the first capital ship, often beforehand. Its also near impossible to recover from lost sea, or even ...

@hoijui I agree totally

Would be cool to have a bunch of subs of a similar size.
Attack, missile, subhunter, scout etc

Me and 123v spent a while discussing the idea of multiple sub and destroyer types (and other ship sizes for that matter) as sea is a bit bland (IE. ASW dessie, AA dessie, combat dessie, ECW / Radar dessie etc). Variety would be good for subs but I am not sure how much I like the idea of a massive su...

The advantage of taking sea is you usually get the metal from reclaim to push their base or get a massive eco advantage, you dont really even need the mexes to win off sea. Imo defending against sea needs to be fixed.

I am in, though my experiences trying to get it to work under anything bar hamachi and lan mode have been failures.

I would recommend getting bugmod for everyone here, as it helps a massive amount (really just a UI mod).

I would rather play vanilla beyond the sword than mods

Why bother having your com assist your fac? You start with no resources, and the little you gain while setting up your base can easily be burned off by the hover con. You do not have nearly the resource income to justify that much extra buildpower in your base, when it could be used to advance terr...
