Why not just do a poll on the what's new page

Because as PilOt has rightly recognised, polls are bloody useless. Too many people either have no clue what's going on, no clue what's good for the future of the game, or just don't give a crap. No, specific feedback (Those who bother to track down and PM me in Aeolus tend to be ones who care), input from the best players, replay evidence, and, until someone else has a crack at it, coding prowess, are what are important here.

It's more complex than just a rebuild job. The community is going to have to decide on things like cost, buildpower, if it can be assisted etc. The current state has as much support coming in to me as all the others, as though there's no consensus on what people want. The upcoming patch's version is as close to the status quo as it is possible to get while retaining strategic depth and removing features which break the game far enough to go beyond being called strategic depth.

you cant get it to rebuild the satelite?

I'd rather a good update than a rushed update.

Because when I tried to code that, I was thoroughly defeated. Perhaps in the future, with help from Sheeo or Crotalus or some other, more advanced programmer, it could be done, but for now my priority was to get it to a playable, acceptable state for the impending update.

Why not make it so when satellite is hit by nuke, only the satellite dies and novax station rebuilds it except the satellite build time is set the same as a nuke missile or around that level and build power of novax station is similar to a nuke silo. This seems like the most logical option seeing how it will barely change gameplay seeing how the satellite will 99% not die to anything unless stationed above a nuke silo. This will allow the satellite to act as a last resort kind of nuke defense, but wont allow it to be abused over and over again due to the drastic build time and slow travel time for the satellite to cross the map to block the nuke.

The whole point of this was that it's a 50/50 split between those who want no impact at all, and those who want permanent antinuke capabilities. Replicating CTRL-K on hit, keeping the functionality, allowing people to reclaim or get the rebuild time bonus, getting rid of the possibility of auto-rebuild becoming a mystery eco drain at crucial moments, this is just the best overall way of having the unit behave, and it happens to be incredibly simple to code (Having it rebuild automatically IS NOT).

Until someone else can come up with a 100% functioning rebuilder (I can't do it, I tried) this is how it's going to be. Even then, I suspect you'd see SIGNIFICANT opposition to such a change.

Nobody in the thread, plenty of people in PMs. It's actually by far the best option for ease of use, eco management, and breadth of strategic options.

Can you get those people to post here?

Firstly It isn't good for ease of use. Not nearly as good as nothing happening at all.
Same with eco management.
Yes you lose the strategic option of blocking the nuke with the satellite. But it makes a lot more sense for the nuke to not hit it then for the base to explode for no reason.

Hi,

Number 3 all year and beyond, dont go with a toggle to auto build, make it interesting add it as an enhancement for the structure, this way you can balance the cost of a new satalite a little as you pay for the enhancement so make the sats cheaper and faster to build a little.

also IF the novax has the enhancement give it build speed buff for vet at each lvl ect..

thats my thoughts.. good luck!

*EDIT*
Ahh crap, you gave up, why not pass the idea/mod to Resin_Smoker he "might" complete the mod complying to opt 3, if he doesnt have time, ill add it to my list of things to do.
im finally on shift rotation, so i might finally get some time to enjoy my hobbies. Yay for shifts at work..

That gives me a great idea: let the nuke fly at the same height as the air units

Or more simply make it fly higher than the nuke.
Or make the nuke fly lower.

No.

I seriously think having one collision is closest to the original intention of the unit and the game itself.
