The way it is now in AA is exactly, exactly, and precisely the way it was in OTA. It is now impossible to tell a commander from a decoy, which is perfection.

shoot the comm and if you get 10x more experience than you should its the real McCoy!

If he D-guns your units, it's the real McCoy.

If it blows up and wipes out all your units that were killing it, it's the real McCoy.

According to TA storyline, there are no orbital stations or ships, settlements, command outposts, etc left. Just a comander(s?) who gets sent alone through galactic gates to take over planets.

ITS YOU

...but does the story count in spring?

If I may...

who cares if their name is above their comm? Does it really matter?

Also the commander is like...fifty feet tall. I'm sure they can put a comfy captian chair in there, somewhere. With cupholders and everything!

Do I see a Min3Mat Jethro in our futures?

The commander is exactly 127.284012 elmos tall, which corresponds to 50 feet. Therefore, all trees must be exactly 109.672912 elmos tall in order to be the correct scale for all of Spring. Anything else is wrong.

Someone measured the height of a Commander against the car wrecks on the urban tileset at one stage. Forget what height he is.

Can we please D-Gun the next person to bring up the damn scale thing? Scale is mod-dependent. Mods will choose a scale that works well for them. If this means they wind up being out-of-scale with popular maps, they must deal with the consequences.

Simple, ya?

yeah lets get back on topic
THE COM ISN'T YOU! (:P)

You are the commander. As Core you are NOT Central Consciousness, they are who you receive your orders (read: missions) from. Also you are a shrewd tactician (from the TA Manual; also the only personality comment in TA for either commander).

As Arm you are not a clone like everyone else. You are the Commander, operating the Commander suit from inside. There could even be an elevator up through one of the legs.

This is TA canon, indisputable. This is why there is game ends.

EDIT: as a rough idea of scale, you are to a Peewee what a Peewee is to a Krogoth. A Commander it tall and heavy enough to step through forests like matchsticks. This is also TA canon, indisputable.

As such it does not apply to mods like SWTA, Gundam etc, by its very nature. However for XTA, AA and all other TA derived mods the canon should carry over.

TA canon: You are the com. You take names, you kick down trees.

But why the hell do we care?

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 23 Jun 2006, 03:10

Cause its a matter of pride! The commander is YOU! If anyone is says anything to the contrary they are a communist. And you know what happens to communists, right.

We burn them at the stake!

Also the pole results are resoundingly pro me and anti M3M.

Erom: We care out of respect for the original designers of TA, without whom Spring would not have been possible.

Zoombie: No burning at the stake please.

Min3mat: Whether or not Noize shared my stance had no impact on my decision, and while I can't speak for everyone else I'm pretty confident that this applies to just about everyone. The Spring team seem to be pro-canon, something I support. Get over it!
