CA is never played com ends. What would be the point, you don't need to discourage combombing.

You don't
need to give it high range. Build a factory and make regular cons to expand.

Com lost its morph to get dgun anyway.

Not on small maps, Saktoth probably brought this up because it happens in 1v1 also. Not to mention Blue Bend-style maps.

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 territory immediately.
