In FAF, energy cost of SCU (25800) was reduced by 4.5, with the side effect to reduce teleport time by the same amount to 6-7 seconds = less than half time of an ACU, whose ability was always supposed to be twice better than SCU (compare 30 seconds to 15 seconds), not twice worse. I adapted the teleport time to 14 seconds, because 7 is just too low, and nobody wanted that, it's an unforeseen side effect. You know why? Because I'm the one who reduced the cost of SCU in the first place, and I was not aware at that time that I unwantedly changed the teleport time that much, otherwise, I would have adjusted it at the same time, one year ago. I do it now, because I know better, and I fix my mistakes when I realize them. You can check past changelogs all you want, in none of them you will see that the teleport time was reduced on purpose, it was an accident.
As for bombers, it's the units I see the most complains about, for various reasons, but most of all, because they are unreliable, they don't drop when they should. They have been recieving improvements here and there since 3603 to alleviate the issue, this patch is no different. This time, it concerns t1 bombers and not only t2 bombers. Even Mozart thinks there is a problem with Cybran bomber on water, when there is no real problem.
But most of all, I'm annoyed by quick judgments made by people who barely played the test mod, and complain about the fact it is nearly untested. You want to impact the patch? If you are serious, then instead of criticizing based on your vague impressions of reading a changelog, you should do like Zlo, test for real, play, report. We fixed a lot of stuff thanks to him. You don't even care about the game breaking bugs that are fixed thanks to his help in the last version compared to versions ago and that are more important than balance tweaks, adn took some time to be taken care of. You prefer no changes than changes you don't understand or don't care about. That's sad.
No matter what, it's too late, this is release candidate. Issues that are spotted before release will be fixed (or hotfixed after release), but this is the last state of the patch. And when I say spotted, I mean with replays. Ze_Pilot asks for logs all the time? I ask for replays!
