Im surprised this workedso well

This topic is as futile as most of my balance topics.

Give LABs special resist against flak...

Need the mother of all invention - and I don't see the need. /thread

Make them not provide any veterancy. Then they can be proper cannon fodder.

Seeing as i am a passionate raider, and my favorite faction UEF is the best used for early game aggression, i decided to pour a lot of effort into attempting to balance out the Mech Marine and the Striker tank.
About a day or so's research and rigorous testing has lead me to believe i have found a good balance between the two units, where none really makes the other one void.

See my end results in the image below.

Hope my efforts can assist in the crusade to really make this game balanced and worthwhile.

Giving a build time buff is best idea so far...
Usually when I build labs to kill enemy engies I end up lacking engineers myself cause of how long it takes to make 3 labs and 1 scout... some times I have 2 labs killing 2 mantis and 1 engy but I still don't feel like success cause opponent made his engies earlyer and got factories earlyer, while I had to build labs early to be able to hit good timing

We are trying a small BT buff now in the current balance alpha testing.

And you believe that 1 sec buff or 3 sec for first 3 lab what is about 30s(factory)+18s(3labs)+4s(scout) 52/55s will make some differencies?

lab speed is 4, for 1s will cross range of 4. lab range is 14

No, i am just bored and have nothing better to do, so i test changes that won't make a difference. Come on, shouldn't that be obvious?

Maybe i should've locked this thread. Suggestion was taken and is tried out, if you want to help with it, join the testing team and play some games with it.

Its just build time after all, the difference will be that my LABs will be further than before at same time mark and that now build gettho gunship will take less time, but no more.
