The Boring/Useless/Bugged/Themeless unit thread

[Korbah]

I'm interested in finding all those units who lack mojo


If there's a unit/structure that:
- Is clumsy to use due to pathing or attack bugs
- Is reliant on a unimportant game mechanic
- Has a token weapon that does basically nothing eg. wagner torpedo
- Has a bug that annoys you
- Is so generic it makes vanilla icecream see exciting
- Has an upgrade that's so underwhelming it's pointless (re: ACU/SCU upgrades)
- Has no synergy with other units in the race or doesn't perform well enough in its role
- Feels like it should belong to a different race it so poorly represents the racial theme

I wanna hear about it! I'll be compiling and formatting a list as we go

- the Titan of UEF has almost no situations in which it's worth to build it
- the Novax has always been a "meh" thing: because most games are played on 20x20 or smaller, most of the time it's better to build a fatty or start an arty
- same for scatis: build real arty or build normal exp

i would have say the cybran T3 arty isn't use, since scatis exist. kind of the opposite statement.

I remeber quite a lot of games in which one team lost/almost lost because they went for scatis while the other team went for arty: the thing is, the scatis must (probably) be consturcted on a save location, namingly the base of one's team, that also means it (probably) must move to the front first, since the scatis is slow and sometimes hard to controll, often before it actually can put prsure on the other team an arty is already up and denies the scatis from getting in range.

There was one of those games only recently, casted by speed (i think?) on Pyramids.

- The uef acu repair upgrade
- The sera acu restoration field upgrade

- The sera acu restoration field upgrade
is just under-use. It does work really well with naval war. (70 hp/s regen for destro). We just need to wait it to be able to work on ally unit, as chrono dampner shouldn't work on ally's units.

- The uef acu repair upgrade
- The sera acu restoration field upgrade

First: not so sure: i've seen it used once to greate effictiveness on Syrtis by Blackheart i think
Second: One word: navy -> to be seen on roanokematch VoR vs Sfo casted by TA i think (might actually have been Swkoll)

Regarding restoration field:

- viewtopic.php?f=58&t=5687 Here's an interesting discussion..... Perhaps the changes should be reviewed
- I think buffing allies will create balance woes especially if it could stack

The air scout lacks mojo - It doesn't seem to be hyped up on enough coffee these days; Never see them venture far, or often... XD
