Final Frontier 1.18 (Website and first FF-map released)

[Optimus Prime]

the death star

ground units? :D
make those defense stations float! :D and the shipyards too!

If u play on any metalmap u are on the deathstar
atm i think its much to early for groundunits and i m unsure if they ever will be implemented, cause they can completely change the game.
I already made the shipyards floated and the small battlestations too (before ur post - but i didnt told it)

[Min3mat]

what to say but w00t? :D

[Min3mat]

yeay!
and the factories float? :D

[Optimus Prime]

yeay!
and the factories float? :D

they are like normal buildings and shipyards knwon from XTA now. So you can build them on land and water. Thats it

[Zoombie]

I like your unique spelling of deactivate's.

Also keep up the good work! It pained me that something as cool as FF had been abandonded by its creators, seeing as how the last update was made...around...2002?

[FizWizz]

there's a big freaking bug with the way the factories and battlestations are now!
Try building them on any map with Lava or other incarnation of the waterdamage tag!
What happens is they take that damage regardless of whether they are built on the water or not.

[Zoombie]

Thats a pretty big bug....

[Optimus Prime]

i think that cant be fixed. Else you wouldnt have orbitalbuildings and all of u wanted them (the things you can build everywhere).

So you must play on maps where u know that they function with FF.. its like when u want a seabattle u wouldnt pick a map without water.
