I like having ESC because it's a failsafe. No matter what you have selected, no matter where your cursor is, ESC will bring you back to the safe situation of selecting nothing. Sometimes you get confused about what you have selected, and being able to instantly snap back to a known position saves the time of figuring it out. And while clicking on the ground does work, that requires dexterity and time to find some empty ground, which requires more attention, slowing you down even more.

Yes this is a bug, not a feature.

It's fixed in 3643, which should be coming shortly.

Yes, or right click the ground.
But ESC has always worked, and it lets you deselect "without" moving your mouse (time saver).

Click on the ACU icon and it selets your acu which deselects whatever else you were focused on.

^^That part is driving me nuts, that's how I deselect a building when doing construction efforts. Has slowed me down every game by minutes each game over the duration.

Hitting Esc doesn't release units anymore.

Is this a bug or a feature?

it would be nice if we could rebind it. ctrl+shift is not that good for me, but better then nothing

could be togglable though

Reclaim value is a very cool thing. I only wish in the future it will be more structured. E.g. different color scheme or size based on the amount of the reclaimable mass to see right away where the most mass is. At the moment all the values easily can be overwhelming. Great nonetheless!

What I love the most is the reclaim preview. Amazingly useful.
