[quote who="Kazzerigian" reply="4" id="3604844"] Many good points/ideas here. I must strongly agree that the right-mouse-button panning is a negative. In trying to pan I've changed move orders accidentally requiring me to move back to the last unit(s) I gave orders to and have to re-issue their move correctly. I've taken to left-clicking a clear area after giving move orders in order to de-select the unit before using the right-mouse-button to pan. Perhaps WASD or pressing and ho

[quote who="tatsujb" reply="3" id="3604724"] I'm the wrong person to ask I've been busy with FAF and courses. no time for AOTS mods. [...] [/quote] Actually, I was asking exactly because you're busy with FAF :). So I assume you know a thing or two about moddability of SC/FA.

And more to the point, optimizations like that should be hidden from the player, and certainly not cause usabilit

[quote who="Ticktoc" reply="1" id="3604714"] I also wish all the units were individuals, when you can't select individuals there is a disconnect and you automatically have a sense/niggling feeling of not having full control. The more barriers to control (incl. fighting with the UI) creates a cumulative effect which risks creating a feeling of frustrat

Hello everyone! Like many of you, I am devoted to the "Annihilation subgenre" of RTS games, which in my book encompasses TA, SC/FA, SC2, PA, and now AOTS. Since SC/FA, I've been longing for a physical/simulated RTS that tackles the challenge of "massive scale" and "macro vs. micro" more profoundly, by innovative UI and advanced game mechanics .
