I was wondering what the heck was up with that. 0.o

before you start fixing all this trivials better give me ideas how to fix the Commander Upgrade bug (construct any upgrade nearly for free) or tell me how to make units untargetable for like 0,5 sec

Well I'm sorry I don't know how to mod these things. If someone could do the code I will test it out thoroughly or help in any way I can.
@Ze_Pilot #1 is an exectitive decision... which icon should the UEF destroyer have? You may say its ok as it is... well thats ok too.
#2 needs further investigation to find cause of problem. Is it only the AI that displays this behavior?
#3 requires a modders input to give anti-nuke to navy of all factions.
@Raging Squirrel #4 is your baby... no-one else can do this. I am being badgered by people that say my rectangular maps are broken because the start positions appear off map in 'large preview'.
#5 can be ignored as it is of little importance.

But you probably want to code them and test them extensively now as the next year is in a 1,5 month.

even if you program a mod, it will not be implemented into faf by zep this year.

These changes will not occur by a) asking ZeP to make them himself, or b) the person suggesting it having to make a whole new mod. Both are infeasible.

If a modder/coder could fix the more common-sense things like 2, 4, and 5, ZeP might integrate those tweaks. Not sure if ZeP would make a more substantial change like 3, but I personally think it's a good balance change. Not sure on 1.

The main point is that in order for changes to be made, the person suggesting the changes needs to make the changes himself (or convince a more knowledgeable modder to do so), and then present those to ZeP.

The main issue, AwarE, is finding someone to actually make the changes.

Pilot already said what to do: make it a mod, make it most played on FAF com again

In Supcom vanilla battleships had on-board, auto build anti-nuke defense... somebody removed it.
Even 10years ago TA had the energy ship that was capable of building on-board anti-nuke.

PS.. I do not know about the anti-nuke building placable on water... if it could be placed on the sea floor it would be fine.
I think the best place for it to be mounted is the T3 Strategic Missile Submarine for UEF, Aeon and Cybran. It would need to go on Seraphim's T3 Submarine Hunter or T3 Strategic Missile Battleship.

guess this was only the case in supcom vanilla, was useless anyway as they could not be shielded and were taken out by air or naval way too easy

3. Anti-Nuke used to be placeable on water... not sure why that ability was taken away.

@ColonelSheppard...
1./ Yeah its anybody guess... maybe they went for faction diversity by allowing UEF a false flag... idk
2./ They are not chasing any target... they have lost all sense of reality and are shootin in the dark. Interesting thing is that they can recover from their apparent insanity after say 1min and then continue to function normally.
3./ Lets do Naval... sure build lots of expensive shipyards and pump out destroyers and battleships for a good naval battle. Oh shit.. I can't cover my naval with a land based anti-nuke. Goodbye sailor...nuclear launch detected.
4./ This has nothing to do with maps and all to do with the lobby 'large preview' map display. The map image and the marker image are on two different sized templates when rectangular maps are displayed. All that needs to be done is resize the marker image to 1/2 width or 1/2 height depending on orientation.
5./ Its not that bad... it only seems to happen in late game and by then you should have heard it all b4.

@Swkoll... 5./ Sure... I have tried to increase textbox size cos that seemed obvious solution ... but I could not do it in textbox options or by drag sizing... maybe you can enlighten me?

Number 5 can be fixed by adjusting the size of the chat window.
