Don't even get me started zwzsg! OTA understood the concept of skilled micro. Painted Desert was a pro map. If you couldn't click on 3 rocks per second, you were a newbie and should be playing Crash Bandicoot or something. Spring has turned it into newbie paradise. Any lamer can area-reclaim the whole friggin' map! Then there is giving orders to partially constructed factories/units. HELLO? More of this skill-less "set it and forget it" Spring newbie philosophy. What am I supposed to be doing with my extra time? FPSing my commander? Well, actually, I have to hand it to the SYs with FPS mode. This was a true innovation. It is just too bad that they left it as a gimmick instead of taking it to its logical conclusion. Imagine what a pro game this would be if you had to FPS all of your units! No more sitting back watching the computer play the game for me. I am in the cockpit or the unit is just idling. In retrospect, I expected nothing less from the SYs. After all, they are the hacker group that released a set of cheats for OTA allowing you do things like build whole lines of tidals in a couple clicks. I could probably rant on for pages! LuaUI is just the beginning! I fully expect Spring to be a screensaver within 2 years.
