Greetings. This is to go along with the Substrate talk so you can do an apples and apples comparison The Units: Frigates Brute. Short range, low damage spam unit. Anti T1s Archer. Medium range, low rate of fire, medium damage. Weak against T1s, good against T2s. Scout. Provides radar which extends effectie range of missile units (like Archer). Also very fast, awesome for retaking ungarded regions. Medic. Heal

Thanks for the feedback buys. A few notes: Re factories I agree regarding factories. Right now, it's very map dependent. On a tiny map, a few factories is enough. ON a large map, you might have a dozen. Re Meta unit leadres We are redoing this such that someone else will take over and continue carrying out the orders. Re announcer voice This might just be a volume issue Re quanta and logistics I a

When we get to the Beta (later this month) that's when we'll want to see if we've fixed it. The 0.71 code base is from November so there's a lot of fixes that have gotten in. We think we've fixed it but we have also thought we've fixed it before.

[quote who="Harbinger91" reply="10" id="3612559"] Well, just imagine what Ashes of the Singularity would be like if EA was the publisher [e digicons]8C[/e] If you want to play as Substrate, pay 10$ extra for limited edition, or wait 1 month for "15$ Substrate DLC" You get less than 5 maps to play on- the rest gets included in DLCs for 15$ each.

We keep trying to fix these as we find them. But please, definitely ride on on this particular issue and similar ones. IF we were to ship wth these problems, we'd get creamed in reviews. It's a tough issue to debug and when we think we have it nailed, something else comes up.

Tat, what I and others are trying to convey to you is that you hijack every thread and try to turn it into another attempt to make the game a SupCom clone. As for why people have asked you to be banned, apparently you have quite a reputation on the Uber forums for...wait for it...using their forums to smear PA and advocate for Forged Alliance. And now you're doing it here too. I consider FA an inferior game experience to Total Annihilation. That doesn't mean I do

[quote who="chemie99" reply="3" id="3612395"] right now PHC have to go logisitics, then logisitics, and then logisitics so EMP is great but you need to do something about quanta otherwise global abilities sit there without any spare quanta. Relays take a long time and the quanta is very slow to come until you have a bunch so early game, all quanta end up being used on logisitics. [/quote] you need t build more than new quantum relay. You should basically always be buil

Greetings! We've been burning the midnight and well frankly the to 5am in the morning oil getting the Substrate ready for the beta. Having a blast doing it. I thought I'd share with you some thoughts on where it is and pick your brains on some ideas. Some basics: Substrate units tend to require energy to do their thing Substrate have a unit that provides nearby unit boosts of energy Substrate units have no armor (which i

Hey there! I've gone ahead and started up the Ashes of the Singularity Wiki page. https://www.ashesofthesingularity.wikia.com/wiki/Ashes_Of_TheSingularity_Wikia Feel free to contribute. I'll make sure regular, serious contributors get access to stuff way early to help. :)

I just checked and there's no one banned on the Ashes of the Singularity steam forum. I'm a SupCom fan too. Unlike you guys, I'm familiar with its source code so I know what it can and can't do. It was an amazing engine for its time. But it didn't do some of the things that SupCom fans insist it could do. That said, there are a lot of features of SupCom that turned off lots of players. It's why they went in a different dire

Like I said, Tat, I don't take your feedback seriously. After many months of trying to understand your motivations i've just had enough. It's like you're playing a different game. Projectiles miss all the time in Ashes. Probably about half the time if the unit is moving and the missile has no guidance system to lock onto a target. Every few weeks I get a PM from someone either asking you to be banned or threatening to leave the forum if you're

units don't get a speed boost for rejoining a meta unit. And walking vs. hovering wouldn't affect whether a shot misses or not. Tat, I'll never take your feedback seriously on this issue as long as you continue to ignore the problems of supcom's projectiles (endlessly shooting into hllls for instance). Ashes projectile system is far beyond what was in supcom's (more cpu power allows it to model the projectiles more). Supcom's system wa

Tentatively we release in March. But the roadmap for this game does out until 2022. That long tail might seem unusual because it is. Most studios are early publicly owned OR they are WFH OR they rely on a third party publisher. The reason there was no Supreme Commander 3 was because no publisher was willing to fund it. The only reason Supreme Commander 2 came into being was because Square offered more to GPG to publish it (though at the cost of acqu

Thanks for the feedback. The yellow mesh ground substrate I wanted to shrink as well but couldn't figure that out. I'll keep investigating (we're clossed during the holiday so it's mostly me and my crazy Oxidian friends tweaking right now). I don't agree about shrinking the engineer. I do think that the Pan probably should do a bit more damage so that there is more pressure on the player. That said, I'm not sure it would be a good i
