Air drops are NOT fail.

lol @ arguing about technology in science fiction.

[Boirunner]

It's called science fiction for a reason...

[KDR_11k]

Like "Hay guys I'm your CO I got this HUGE bomb on my back and - What are you doing with that Atlas?"

[lurker]

I think it makes reasonable sense. Look at the size of a normal energy and metal storage. Look at the com. Think about the huge advantages when using a galactic gate to send that com over to build an outpost. And don't tell me you'd rather have a com with only that puny laser, and no D-gun.

[manored]

Well I think that putted that anti-matter bomb on the commy cause they were thinking about combombing once he became expendable... or maybe they were just stupid :)

Science fiction is based on the idea of more advanced tech than we can understand, but I think that independent of how advanced your tech is it will be better to make your colony into something instead of into nothingness... like, if they could build that gigant thing on space, why they didnt made it on the moon on mars, where they could use the natural resources for the colonys growth?

[lurker]

The reason for the huge explosion is balance, yes, but I would say the main reason for antimatter is the disintegrator.

[MightySheep]

Nothing on a moon but cheese.

I think it's because putting colonies on the lagrangian points makes them closer too earth, and hence reduces costs of space travel and places it closer to the van allen belts, at least giving it a little bit more protection from radiation.
Also, IIRC in MSG the moon was colonised, and is the headquarters of Anaheim Electronics.

Yeah but in the middle of space there is nothing to harvest (beside energy from the sun, but you cant build a colony with energy) and thus the colony would always have to depend on earth to survive instead of being independent. The radiation problem would probally have already been solved by that point :)

lol you people fail to understand gundam...

kdr +1..

everyone else... lol

[manored]

I know nothing about Gundam except that it has gigant robots and japan anime drama...

[Gota]

i think comnapping is just as good startegy as any.
It is a viable strategy which is very hard to do.
All the com needs to do is move or if he has a bit of aa around him or he can cloack.
Saying these tactics are invalid and these tactics are lame just makes mods become more boring because all sorts of options get blocked after many players start whinning cause in every 1/20 games they get their commander napped.
For example Xta players that dont want to play com ends because air can kill their commanders or because it makes the commander more volnurabel.
Instead of dealing with it by keeping him safe and risking him only on desperate situation they play com continues and than have the problem of a combombs and compushing(their commmander also does not have a wreckage so it doesnt matter if you lose it on enemy territory).

[REVENGE]

Where the hell are my airdrops.

In the TA mods, or at least BA, we are far to resorcefull in terms of attack for it to be possible to defend a unit against a determined attack... so there shouldnt be any vital unit, especially one with such lack of health as the BA commander :)

In other words, the only way to defend your commander is to destroy his commander first.

Troll mods someplace else please Yan, we generally dont play com ends because it ruins team games.

Yep, And I find that boring. Having to aim for a single unit to win kills a lot of other strategys you could use...

Maybe there's a need for "team only dies if all its coms are gone" gadget...

That would be awesome, worth me posting over in feature requests about it?

Yes.
