Remove it. I don't care if it can be shot down by inties in the next game version.

Most annoying thing ever that a fucking unit can fly in and get reclaim before anyone else.

I still argue that the opportunity cost of building it makes up for its strength... especially if it can be shot down by inties

Can you elaborate by its 'cost?' Last I checked it was quite low on the e side and can be deployed quite quickly. Man_Of_Action gave it a try after a game where people used it on Tabula Rasa and it was INSANE how he got all the reclaim well before the opposing commander did.

I'll have to take Zock's word for it and give the beta a try, but that would require someone to try and abuse it there.

Are beta matches ranked or unranked? I remember they were still being ranked for a time.

The opportunity cost also includes the build time. The E cost is 2400, which is quite significant when you don't have a single structure and you only start with 4000 and +10 per tick from ACU.

A better discussion would be why there are no guidelines for admins when to warn/kick/ban people abusing bugs, they all react differently. Furthermore its not possible for players to see what bugs/abuses are bannable cause lists like these: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1053 are not maintained.

Exactly my point, Econoob. The moderation staff is basically a "family-safe chat environment" squad. I keep hearing about people saying "you can report this or that, blah blah blah." I'm awaiting Voodoo's reply to my question before I accuse anyone of not addressing the subject.

I'm sorry, Voodoo. I do like you as a person who plays the game, but I just don't think it's effective anymore. I stepped down as WWPC director because it got to me too much and I ran out of ideas. Maybe you and some others should give up the powers to more willing people. And that in no way means me. I'm not asking for a banhammer, just that someone gets voted into it. It wouldn't surprise me if people had others in mind than yourself and the mod staff.

We are open for new members but i have to say that no one asked us for a long time. We are searching for someone who live in the US-timezone e.g. and i have to say we added a lot people the last months/ the last year. Com, Nombringer and Deering are new but i haven't seen Nombringer for a long time.

Why aren't you looking for someone for Oceanic timezone? With Nombringer gone there is only Com who is just afk the whole time.
