But with each patch you created in past few months, I kinda get the feeling all factions are getting slow by slow pretty interchangeable. The sera gun upgrade - pretty silly still though. I almost think it's a joke. You have to give up HP (from T2/T3) and regen (for the tele) = your death is pretty certain, and the Sera ACU telemazor - ugh... not practical...
(And the mass cost increase... hmm)
The missile launchers - why make them so that they are all "like cybran"?
I don't understand why the reclaim time increase at all, except that some people had some feelings - but that is as valid as my feelings, I can give you that...
Somehow I don't really feel this path is actually "balancing", but making all factions
feel the same, and slightly moving towards the feeling "I don't care what units I have as long as there are many" - like, why the hell should the flak be able to hit T3 planes more easily? It's becoming pretty much irrelevant what faction you chose, and what units you build. If it continues like this.
Not nice. Sorry, I am getting a bit detached from this game due to the changes.
Thanks for the comment. The sera gun upgrade is not meant just as a telesnipe tool, that is really a niche use for it.
The MMLs are actually now more differentiated from each other in terms of how they function, but they are closer in terms of their effectiveness.
T2 static flak didn't hit t3 air at all previously, now it can do some damage but it is not a sufficient counter. The sera gun upgrade will increase faction diversity by making a unique upgrade actually viable while before it was never built.
Lots of MML stuff
I think it's possible these changes go too far and make other factions' MMLs "too strong" but I haven't seen this in beta testing. Hopefully you all will go out and abuse them to show me just how good they are, I will be watching closely
To the comments saying that MMLs were basically all fine and even aeon MMLs were good, I simply disagree. Aeon MMLs especially were completely terrible and the difference between cybran MMLs and the rest was too large.
