Wow, the Croc and Panther probably just became the T2 Flash and Instigator.

I'm liking those Punisher / Guardian changes. Maybe it will actually be viable to use one to blow up someone's defenses then reclaim it.

Pretty mind-blowing how many units didn't have a dedicated air sight distance, especially on AA and fighters.

reclaim t2 spam panther...

If you want to buff t2 through making the units better why do it arbitrarily only to raiding/assault tanks?

Hmm no lua errors, no stack trace, bizarre - I watched the replay and can't see that much new happens at the second it crashes, maybe could you try a spring.exe game and do
/cheat
/give all
/team 1
/give all
on the same spot and let every unit fight it out vs every unit and see if that recreates it?

Yeah i try that tomorrow if i figure out how to do what you said :p. It might just be a one time glitched with a bad timing, i play some more this week and see if it occurs again.

Great patch by the way! I like the new changes and the amount of work you put in!

Ahh D'oh.

What weapons specifically? Only torpedoes needed it really, yes?

Anyway, you can still make your shipyard immune to torpedoes by ordering a unit then cancelling it to keep the factory open. As long as there is no nanoframe in the middle of the shipyard, there is nothing for the torpedo to hit and it sails right through. But at least this takes skill (IE, arcane knowledge) and an intentional act.

I'm glad all the AA got small buffs. But I was hoping for some bigger load screens most of all :( I guess I'll make some for next BA then...

It was made worse against groups of units with the engine impulse fix, especially tanks. However this is one of those hard to predict changes so hopefully live testing will decide to keep or revert it.

as long as guardian outranges every t1 unit, buff seems to be unnecessary, but lets see :)

Better version it to 7.10, because i see confusing confrontation like 7.4 vs 7.04.

hm, i played few games and I think that ba version is fucking crap ^^. I wont play it anymore.

2 things : fighters can't see atlas even if atlas is VERY fucking close.

Decrease panthers energy cost by 40% is dumb, if you dont touch others things.

Selfd commanders for metal is a bigger problem, than fixing panthers cost, you should try to think about ba real problems and most common moves, and fix them.

I really dont see how making fighters blind would make combomb less easy??
