The main times I wish I had more metal storage is when I build PHC AA defences. They cost 500 metal over about 40 seconds. That results in about -20 metal hit during its production. If you have to build early game it totally stalls everything. Even in late game I would never have +20 metal to soak it up as obviously you should be using it and not letting it go to waste. But metal storage never gets upgraded as its far too expensive for what you get. I think buildings for storage work better.

I don't want that behaviour. If I select three engineers and queue three buildings I want them to work together one building at a time. I can see your way being useful at times too though so a way for both would be good. For my way I guess you could tell two to follow the leader, though that would take more selecting and clicking so I wouldn't want that to be the only way. Better to have Shift + click as one way and Ctrl + click as another for example.

As mentioned by someone before, it would be great if you could tell an engineer to start work on the blue/green outline of a pre-planned building which is in the queue of another engineer. Otherwise you have to cancel the original engineers whole queue when you want to reprioritise things.

One thing your thoughts prompted me on. It would be nice if there was a number somewhere like 17/19 which represented how many resources you have and how many you have capped. On the big maps or in combat it can be easy to lose sight of where you have or haven't built on the resources or where you've lost some. If you could then cycle to them by pressing the number or hitting F3 or something then that would be useful too.

I'd totally forgotten about that in Supcom/TA, where selecting an engineer or factory told you what resources it was using, extremely useful.

I agree with all this stuff.

I love the pace of the slow armies and it gives this real strategy feel, rather than a click fest like Star craft.

However, does anyone else feel the game needs more endgame stuff? I get the sense there's supposed to be one more level above dreadnoughts, or at least some alternative strategies besides adjusting the stream of armies. At the moment a bombing run is about the only other card people can play. Maybe orbitals are the plan to fix this.

Supreme Commander had the massive artillery and nukes and shields and gunships but that's all missing here. We don't need that much options but a little more variety besides the land unit blobs might make things more interesting.

I'd be curious to see what adding flying transports did. Might be nice to have the option of opening up a different front when there's a bit of a stalemate. SupCom had a great system for setting up "bridges" and then units used transports automatically, making it super easy to click them over to the other side of the map and know they'll get on and off without you having to micro.
