uh.. why does xt8 final version earn a sarcastic remark?

Well, because it's still got some issues I hoped that got solved before a 'final release':
* The arm nuke silo doesn't have a nuke icon.
* The arm and core commander icons are unintelligible.
* I thought aGorm was working on new loadscreens to replace these ones.

Well yes, Colorblind. But you wouldn't categorize those issues as show-stoppers, would you?
But a Dooms Day Machine or Annihilator that isn't shooting, pretty much can be.
So, let's stick to this as v8 and take the pressure off from everyone's shoulders to give the time for a even better v8.1
I just used this "Final Release"-phrase to better stand out and distinguish from the former v8 release...

Ok, but please make sure to also fix these issues:
* Set the building icons tag "radiusadjust" to 1
* Change the icontype for immobile water units (such as floating metalmakers, etc) from "sea" to "building".
