:P
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)

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

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?

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.

Thats a pretty big bug....

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.


Be prepared for Wednesday!!! There will be more than only another FF Version - perhaps the most important day for FF :)

sorry there was a bug with the teleporter. It wont work on non faltten terrain. Solved by giving the ODS Floater=1; now all should work fine.
