Spring RTS Engine

In OTA, if you stopped building something before it was completed it would leak metal back into your resource storage. You could speed the process by reclaiming the nano-frame. Neither of these appear possible in spring so it would be nice to see them implemented.

I never knew about that in OTA.

Reclaiming the frame still gives you its metal.

Oh, and in OTA, when a frame was attacked its progress AND its hp went down, not just its hp.

In OTA I always thought the building was lost and you wasted rsources, as did everybody I encountered.

You're right, I guess I haven't been very lucky about reclaiming stuff in battle, however the other point still stands.

AF: I'm pretty damn sure decomposing frames gave you the ressources back.

They don't, I made a point of checking it last game. (in spring)

In OTA they do, mate.

Only metal, not energy. Which should be the default behavior in spring also.

AFAIK they give you the resources back. It doesnt show on unit if you click it, but the resources show it. At least they have been doing this before.

that would be nice. now more attacking a HLT frame that the commander can repair as fast as you can destroy, then it being finished and pwning your army

But if units in one piece arent decomposed as they take damage, why frames should be?
