Special damages should be avoided if possible, the brawlers in this picture are pretty much all terrain hovercraft and should fly close enough to the ground to be hit (not too accurately) by all ground units.
Well it's possible to avoid them entirely. Also let the Penetrators shoot the Brawlers as I find penes counter slow high hp gunships quite well.

huh, weird, now i see guessmynames post, which wasnt there before, but not google frogs latest post, which the forum said he had made. I think it cuts out the first post of every new page until the page is completed, then cuts out that new post.

We're going to have to spam this page to completion to see what google said.

Did someone delete a post or something so now all the page/post orders are mismatched? Whats causing this?

I think it was just something about how penetrator is actually pretty good against gunships so it should just have a bad target catergory. Although what kind of noob uses a weapon with >15s reload time on fire-at-will anyway?

Just an update on this as I foolishly said 'a few days' in my first post and have now realised that putting teams of units from a few different sources into one mod and making sure all the weapons, resources and everythign is kosher (without bloat) then integrating them with skirmish and tweaking the stats to have some semblance of balance takes longer than I thought it would!

I've got a Spherebot and Kernel Panic team sorted out now, one more to go then i'll look into procuring an SVN and release revision 0.

I merely mean the model, not the unit. Using the exact unit stats in a different mod would be retarded. s44 vs CA, who will win? Well uh, whoever uses the bigger numbers. Samson already uses a laser and everything, but it would need to be scaled up appropriately. Only problem is the angle of fire wouldnt be the same.
I think stats should be kept as near original as plausible, it'd be nice to have similar micro as in the units main game. Costs are still defined here. Or change some stats about evenly across the whole faction, like making every unit move slower so they compare better with other factions but work pretty similarly in comparison with eachother.

Are those the old bugbomb bugs? IMO the new artillery bugs are much more interesting.
