40 minutes O_o what planet are you on

some new screens ingame









use view image to see in full resolution also shows off the new arm orbital laser weapon

The mission pages, which use some HTML, might benefit from the easy inclusion of a version of the star map from the following link:

Chuck the third one on the spring site, it's a winner

The first and third images demonstrate that lack of consistent design theory in CA that I really hate so much.

Other than that they are fucking awesome.

Make us some models with consistent design plox.

Oh man.That advanced fusion looks like it needs to be like 5 times bigger when you look how detailed it is compared to a solar or a metal extractor.looks absolutly rediculeous.

It looks like a building with people in it cause of the lights.

You mean the regular fusion?

Hmm, I dunno, I think it's fine.

It could be a little bigger, or maybe smaller windmills, but otherwise texture looks fine.

I gotta agree - the fusion is (graphically) comedically tiny compared to those cheap buildings.

Part of the problem is probably that the physical, voluminous part of the model has such a small footprint within the model's overall footprint, so it looks very tiny even though it takes up a lot more space than the buildings that look to be of similar size.

I would like it if fusions and factories were double their dimensions (i.e. 8x their volume). It would really give you a feel for the distinction between base structures and moving units. Issue would be making it playable for the majority of maps.

And normal fusions are only 1k.

A CA is fusion is only 30x more E than a solar, not 50x more like in BA. I do think it should be a bit bigger but the advanced fusion is already huge. Maybe reduce the size of the solar at the same time since they're only 1 E now.

It needs to be at least.... THREE times bigger. /zoolander

If you shrink the solars you also have to consider the similarly priced units and their scale - the mexes, the windgens, etc.

One of CA's visual goals is to have units reflect their cost in their size.

But you gotta make some exceptions, especially for buildings, otherwise the mex, solar and wind would be half the size of a flash.

Given that a fusion costs 25x a solar though yeah, i agree, could be much bigger.

Making Fusions as big as an XBox would also help discourage people from spamming them. Want to spam fusions? Well, you'd better make sure you own half the map

It is the Fuck in Sky laser (FiS).

This is the key to what we've been looking for. This is the answer to all our questions here on this forum. The great explorer emmanuel discovered it and shortly thereafter went mad. No one had since understood a thing he's said. But now we know the truth.
