I have been playing some hours during the past 10 days after a 20 day break. TBH nothing essential has improved. My concerns: - Taking out resource limit for substrate is awesome... and broken. I don't get penalties for abusing inherent substrate powers with production flexibility...heaven! - Introducing "tech requirements" in the form of orbital necessary to build a unit is a harmful decision. It is unnecessary constraint to flexibility and further encourage playe

No. They do not. It is bad game design to have one unit able to do all. Having dreads should not make obsolete T2 units. Having T2 should not make obsolete T1 units.

No resource Cap is HUGE help & also raises skill floor. Previous version of the game was demanding due to the constant pressure to adequately manage economy or else get punished by loosing resources. Now I can play poorly (due to learning the game & finding optimal development paths) and any inefficiency results in stockpile. This is against one of the very core concepts of the game and poor change in my opinion. PS: I would like to see cap increase during game(to

Hey, Dear Busy Developers, A rhetorical question: What happens when a substrate player uses scout drone and "whatever name" turret nearby enemy nexus at the start of the game? I am disappointed with such basic quality assurance tests not being performed.

First season same thing happened - turns out the stats for final positions in ranking are taken at somebody's pleasure a day or two before actual season end.

Dear developers, It is getting extreme. If the numbers are available please look up statistics for my past 20-50 hours ingame time. Likely you would discover 80% queue waiting & 20% game. There was a nice post a while back about minimum sustainable number of online community. I think we dived below that in October and it is not getting any better. Hope you have some good plan how to maintqin the likely surge of active players with escalation's release. Be

Game. Trying to use Probing Force but nothing happened... so I click again. . . nothing happened... so I click Incursion... nothing happens... so I click again ... BOOM 2 probing forces & 2x Incursions spawn and I am suddenly -481 quanta. What the hell ? Fix it now maybe? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4uT5-857wJ6RzlDR19ybEdmVlE

I have explored the options for RX 480 and even tried for some time 1060 - the problem is that the current pricing is kind of bad, at least for (eastern) Europe and they are both grossly overpriced IMO. A decent 480/1080 - MSI/Strix is close to 350 Euro and hardly worth it. I am very much interested in any information about dual (cheap) gpu tests - any info on that?

Hello, I am currently using R9 270 2GB and considering whether to spend 300 euro on 1060 nvidia/amd 480 and go single gpu or get another gpu like my present and save 150-200 euro by going dual and getting similar performance. So, if anyone has tried or has come by information regarding this issue please share. I had a week worth of fun with a 1060 card and it did 50 fps avg on benchmark, dx11. Assume I am aware of the added electricity cost, bit more nois

I was looking into DasUndying's topic about the guy. Watched the replay and did some calculations. Dude used about 490 quanta by 10 minute mark and in skirmish I did my best to rush quanta and got only about 400. Seemed suspicious but thought I could be missing something - extra 100 quanta is probably possible. Now 8 500 quanta is a whole different story :)

Engineer/Constructor gives refusal to place building if it is on top of queued move command location FYI. It bothers me too. It may or may not be related to what you are saying.

I am literally sick of playing 10 minute games where the PHC bot goes metal 1st with smarties and factories and I go bombers. Single player AI can be tough and challenging. Unfortunately somebody just picked simple easy difficulty AI and placed it in multiplayer.

I'd rather wait 15 minutes for a game than waste time killing beginner level AI. You thought that you were solving a problem with long waiting times - no, you created boredom. Take it down and maybe consider implementing it with some customization & options. Examples would be: - Enable/Disable - Difficulty level of bot - Race of bot - Chose a map to play the bot on.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="40" id="3647825"] There is no balance in MP that will satisfy the player who has lost in multiplayer. [/quote] I have played competitively for years.

Air is crap. Truly. Unless stopping at target range and forcing stationary behavior air is random and annoying to use. Also PHC anti-air turret has ridiculous hit chance. Either lower damage or decrease accuracy. New units won't solve the problem. Reworking air mechanics would. Velocity, acceleration and flypath should be such that on every swoop or turn a unit would fire with minimal holding time. Much appreciated would be an option to chose whether the unit should s

I challenge all fellow players avidly defending the balance for or against a certain faction to a race switch. Since start of season 2 I am playing PHC only and feel great about all the changes you convinced the developers to make during season 1. Good Job.

Based on having a case of dreadnought just getting launched as a swarm of hades tried to attack my nexus and got murdered by dominators & air defense with the dread just being in the area and getting to lvl 4 I would say - being in the area of something getting killed rewards experience.

It is a nice gamble mechanic. Makes the player think - can I charge this army with my dread and hope to get lvl-up before I get killed or not. In my opinion the instant heal is one of the few notable advantages making it worthwhile to use dreadnoughts. Both PHC & Substrate have enough potential in their T2 units to wipe dreads rather quickly and effeciently and it should be either instant heal (as is) or increase in (doubling of) dread HP starting lvl 1.
