Thanks for the feedback!

For the naval transport try this: have the naval unit selected and right click on the Comet. The Comet will pick up the naval unit and you can transport it anywhere you want.

The nomads field engineer is different enough from the Sparky : short range TMD / weapon, small radius radar / excellent and free jammer ; lower HP / higher HP. Other than that, it's a typical field engineer. It's meant to build firebases too. A firebase without pd makes no sense.

The flare is only attached to gunships and transports, not to bombers.

Pinpointing is automatically done when a unit with artillery support is near a target and artilleries or supported weapons are shooting at this target.

The t4 transport can transport only one ship at a time. It works for me, if it doesn't for you, maybe a mod is a problem.

It still feels wrong. Might I suggest you differentiate it even further? Sparky can set up a powerful Point Defence Creep. Remove PD and AA from the Nomads one and allow it to build Radar and Sonar instead. TMD too if it can't already (I know it has its own but still).

Flares have 5 seconds reload.

The concern with the old units wasn't the reload, it was the fact that a single flare-enabled unit completely disables all SAMs and ASFs for that crucial moment when they need to be shooting down an incoming Bomber run. It was pretty dumb. You need to make sure this can't happen.

Well yes, but how does on pinpoint something? Just attack it?

Not right now it can't. At least not in my tests, not with Ferry, Transport's active button, or clicking the Naval unit and telling it to go into the transport.

All factions have a TML Launch Button, also a Nuke Launch Button

TODO:
What happen if a friend gives me a TML Launcher ...
Check if the button apears.

It cannot move while in bombard mode, can move in default mode.

T2 Cruiser - Yes another cruiser which uses long range missiles for ground bombardment? Nothing wrong with it per say, but it's lazy design as far as I'm concerned. Be nice to see something new.

The Nomads cruiser is completely different from all other cruisers. Its missile weapon is not long range, it has 100 range, compared to 150 range for the other cruisers, but the missile homes. It's a single, homing missile rather than long range, arc bombardment cruiser.
Secondary weapon stuns and deal additional damages to shields (and poor damages to units).

All right Nomads guys, time for IceDreamer's dressing down! About time I took a real look at this thing...

The things I don't like

T3 Rocket Artillery - The sound FX of the launch gets a bit blurred together. Would be better shorter, so each separate launch sequence can be properly heard. Also, the Rocket trails are much too solid and blinding, a problem for all Nomads Rockets in fact.

T3 Artillery - From my testing, it seems a tad unreliable... It doesn't like ground firing :/

Crawler - It is unclear when this unit can and cannot move. For some reason it had a lot of trouble responding to move commands sometimes.

Field Engineer - This is a UEF unique unit. I simply can't express how fundamentally WRONG it feels to have another one enter the fray, no matter how different it may be. I really, REALLY don't like this unit.

AA Flares on Air units - These were removed from current units which used to have them because they were incredible overpowered. Be careful...

T2 Cruiser - Yes another cruiser which uses long range missiles for ground bombardment? Nothing wrong with it per say, but it's lazy design as far as I'm concerned. Be nice to see something new.

Things I like

T1 Tank Destroyer - Just a really nice idea, basically a mobile PD.

T3 Mobile AA - An appropriate unique unit

T3 Rocket Artillery - Another appropriate unique unit

Things I really like

Shield/Stealth fusion generators - This is pure genius. I love these

TML Launch Button - Can we have this for all factions please?

Bombard Mode - This is awesome. I really, really like how this works, especially on the Bullfrog when it causes the front cannon to strafe back and forth.

Underwater MML - Epic idea, I love the gameplay opportunities this will introduce.

T2 Torpedo Gunship - Another fabulous fusion unit, perfect joining, and a really useful looking unit. Versatility is always fun.

Things which are ?????????????

Gunships can "Pinpoint for Artillery" - Couldn't seem to make this work. What does it do, and is it functional yet?

Transportable Navy - Not right now it's not. What's up with this?
