It was really a smart idea from Virgil to make the connections change color based on energy and other factors, IMO.

If I recall rightly, that was actually a beta member's idea, I think J's.

Well, now that I know about it, assuming it can be toggled quickly.
Be useful once I've overbuilt my reactor farm, and am not worried about energy any more; if I see the wires go red at that point, I could just call it up again. But I doubt I'll actually do that much.

1. You can grab the shadow of the unit to adjust it's placement.
4. Drag-build of a line of collectors (shields and nullifier optional :))

Definitely two of my favourites.

Also, the Terp 'brushes' come in sizes that are needed. i.e. 1x1 for walls, 3x3 for most things, 5x5 for titans, and 9x9 for the CN.

I also love that Bertha shots have shadows and fading trails of smoke.

Come to think of it, also how the Bertha gun barrel slams backwards so hard after it's big shots. Really emphasizes how powerful it is.

Also, the triple shots on the PZ. First time I saw it, I was like, whoah....

I like that the Bertha shots fly in a ballistic curve and not straight. Adds a lot to the realism :)

Well yes, but that's not a "tiny* detail, it's huge... :)

One of the things I don't like is how a Guppy won't build another Guppy.

But one of the things I do like is how you can rename a Shield Key so it displays something different when you collect it

Sorry for necrobump, but:
Blasters fling off little spent casings every time they fire. Has anybody ever noticed that?

Devourer · June 05, 2014, 11:27:17 PM

My favorite thing is terps. Just everything about terps. I always hated having to accommodate to the terrain and even though I don't use terps a lot, having them there increases my enjoyment of the game SO much.

One thing I don't like, since I'm here: I miss hotkeys.

Michionlion · June 06, 2014, 07:28:39 AM

hotkeys are still here... have a look at the keybindings menu.

Above all, I favor CPRL Super Weapons. (Field Beam, Pyramids, Golems, etc.)

Are you sure? I've squinted as much as I can :) and I can't see spent casings. Just the flash of the bullets. Maybe you could post a screenshot?

planetfall · June 09, 2014, 12:04:15 PM

It's a little easier to see on a power zone.

Nephthys · June 10, 2014, 12:44:45 AM

Ah, now I see! Thanks! :) That's just amazing.

In the latest version, I really like the addition of the markers showing not only WHAT was lost but WHERE it was lost. I know several comments besides mine mentioned frustration over hearing the explosion & not knowing what just blew up, so I bet a lot of other players appreciate this as well.
