Just read the "changelog", I think 90% of these are really good. Decreasing T2 bomber speed is a great idea.
Slower moving Transports loaded with heavy units (read: Commander) are another great idea, it should move only about 50-100% faster than walking speed.
For the flak weapons, I don't think their damage needs to be buffed, they might be pretty weak against planes, but kill gunship swarms really quick.
Increasing costs of t2 con units seems like a good idea, right now you only need to invest about 350 metal to keep having access to T2, which is kinda ridiculous if you think about it. Why not raise the cost of T2 cons to something like 1000 or 1500 metal? This seems a lot, but is still cheaper than the T2 lab, which can always be reclaimed. Buff their buildpower, speed, HP to compensate a bit. Together with the commander wreck change (reduce it to 1000 metal while you're at it
), this will really slow down 8v8 DSD games, which is a good thing.
Some more ideas (mostly rehashes of old BA forum posts), some might be bad, some might be good, feel free to flame, dislike, ignore etc.:
Introduce a "Miner-kbot", which moves slightly faster than the t1 veh con and acts as a metal extractor when positioned over metal spots. This would make kbots much more viable, since they would actually expand faster than vehicles early on now.
Move antinuke to T1, and maybe reduce metal cost a bit. No point in needing to tech up for it imo. It should also intercept EMP missiles and tacnukes.
Commander upgrades are a great idea, for example armor and weapon upgrades. When fully upgraded, the commander should be able to turn into a krogoth-like unit (e.g. 4 weapon upgrades: heavy plasma gun, siege missile, AA missiles, tachyon gun). Another idea to discourage self-d and commbombs would be to automatically lose control or self-d your units when you are without comm, unless you have a "Backup Commander" (e.g. current Decoy Commander). What about a "commander teleport pad" building, to which the commander can be teleported back to when in danger?
Increase range of the ship cannons a bit, and give ships radar and more LOS.
The Juno and intrusion countermeasure building should be removed imo. An alternative use for the Juno could be a "LOS-shot", similar to the radar in Starcraft.
Give the torpedo bomber Sonar (no point in always bringing a sonar plane), also consider moving it, or a slightly weaker version of it, to the T1 airlab.
Increase pack0 and chainsaw range a bit.
Increase shield radius a bit. Allow enemy plasma units to fire unobstructed, once they are inside the shield.
My idea for sea/land balance:
Reduce cost of hovercraft lab, so it becomes cheaper than the T1 sea lab, and make it buildable by the commander. Maybe remove the corvettes (just like in OTA), to encourage early use of hovers, which have better land/sea interaction. The idea is to make hovers strong in the early game, while making the "unflexible" ships heavy hitters which are too expensive early on. Ships, in contrast to hovercrafts, still have the opportunity for the the strong t2 eco and ships later, of course. This changes should lead to increased land/sea interaction early on. The drawback of hovercrafts would be the "dead-end choice", since their cons can't build any T2 labs. Also add a sonar/dephcharge hovercraft.
Give the land-based depth charge launcher twice as much or even more range, and also sonar. Increase costs accordingly. It should be a really solid coast defense, allowing one to get back a foothold in cotested sea.
Make amphibious units really fast when underwater, like in old BA versions.
Sea might be lacking an early long range defense, basically something like a immobile T1 destroyer, but with slightly higher range and cheaper.
