The percentages are less now, and there are not multiple transfers to infinite lengths. All you really need to know is that it is now impossible to build an invincible turtle with 50+ shields, you can't make an unkillable armada with bulwarks, and there is a diminishing return on mobile shields added to your army in huge numbers.

Is this deliberate? If yes, what is the reason this was changed to be that way?

Do triple nested shields get 15% of 15% (=2,25%) damage from nothing?
Does this apply to intersecting shields only, or to fully enclosed shields also?
Does it matter if the damaging shot would hit both shields, or do all touching shields take damage regardless if they would have been hit or not?

the HQ system is basically the integration of this viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3015

It should explain it well enough

Worth to mention (part of 3630) is the inclusion of the mods GazUI and Hotbuild: Show amount reclaimed, show regeneration rate and build capacity of units, draggable build queues, possibility to configure lots of hotkeys, etc.

Also, you can now build pre-upgrades SCU's from Gateways.

Play the game and try it

You upgrade one factory as HQ (expensive)
You can upgrade other factories faster to a "support" factory that can only build as long the HQ is online.

Thanks a lot Dragonfire !

So how exactly does that factory HQ system work?

And the T3 AA is not in the UnitDB; are they all the same for all factions?

also link "reddit . com/r/FAF/comments/2hda9n/faf_is_kill_ze_pilot_is_finished_with_the_lobby/" says that FAF is dead, and the posted homepage is the new lobby, but the posts of the new owner say something different? what is true?

Yes it is alive ...

Another similiar thread:
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3742

From my view:

better balancing
more bugfixing
Factory HQ System
Mobile T3 AA

What is different in FAF?

2014-10-08T09:39:01+02:00

Ok so I am rather new here. I own a copy of Supreme Commander FA for a long time and always liked the game, but until recently (and getting a new PC and Sorian AI) the game was too laggy to play it properly.

Now I found this wonderful community around this game and watched some casts and am interested to learn the ins and outs of this game.

I found though through those videos I watched, that there have been some community patches/balance updates and even mods added to the game to make it more competitive.

Can anyone inform me about what is different between SCFA and FAF? (Engie mod and stuff, new units, balance changes)

Links to changelogs would do.

Thanks in advance!!

edit: is the game still alive?
