Also icedreamer if you think this would remove the viability of t1 engies you are mistaken. It would make them all the mroe viable late game. The fix to what you are saying is to buff the bp of t3 and t2 engies comparitively to t1.

Also morax you would have to make it so u already had access to t2 for that to be possible for that to be not totally game breaking. <---- can english

I think a small range increase would be very good, but higher speed and acceleration would be even better to help with pathfinding.

Converting novax into satellite, remote building suite would be all kinds of awesome. Imagine building Ravagers for the lolz at someone's base.

Maybe we can make it so tier 1 engineers can combine to make a higher level tier?

Eg, mass-equiv tier 1 selected, you get option to merge units and they transform to make tier 2; same for tier 2 to tier 3; but you can't combine tier 1 to make tier 3.

Isn't that what we have rn?, if you put 100 t1 engies in your base latgame, no wonder why you have pathfinding issues. increasing range would make it viable to keep t1 engies in base lategame

I would approve this change. If we can push more gameplay away from tedious base micromanagement because the lategame pathing sucks, that's good. IMO an ideal to strive for would be T1 engies used lategame for expendable expansion and reclaim, with base ops taken over by T2, then T3 engies over time. Each continues to be useful lategame, but in their own arena.

And it comes up again.
I hope this time some sort of little speed buff, and maybe some range can be decided on.
T3 engies are my single biggest grime since engy mod, which made them slow in the first place.

I'd rather see the higher tech engies become faster and smaller. And by faster I don't mean they would have to be labs speeding around. Mostly turn speed and acceleration with a smaller collision box, just to have them be less of a pain generally. They're really unresponsive as they are now and because of how the engine cuts off "impossible" pathfinding solutions you often come back home to find them not having done anything. So a quality of life improvement really.

It's jarring when you have to be right on top of something to start capturing it.

This, so much this.

I'm a fan because it is incredibly frustrating to get T3 engineers from their place of origin to any open area where they can start being useful. It's a level of inconvenience that I think is detrimental to the game. Notwithstanding the gameplay issues it seems pretty logical that higher tiers of engineers should have larger build ranges in the same way that weapon range, radar range, sight range etc. tend to increase with tier.

T3 having double T1 build range is pretty high though. Even if T2 had 10% more and T3 had 20% more it would be a huge improvement.

Is it possible to turn off collision only between ACU and T1 engies?

But nobody of the important people sees any need of changing the engineers.
