Sandbox testing indicates that shields still work against Aeon S-bombers though. Also, UEF and Cybran S-bombs seems to be able to pass through shields now.

People already complain about the lack of sufficient faction diversity. A better solution may be to restric sacrifice to only being used on units or buildings, not on upgrades. T2A’:

After that point, people should have enough mass that it's not really overpowered. Just a thought.

Much better than any sub, even if they can't submerge. And let’s not forget about how powerful UEF T3 sonar buoys are for their cost. Much better than any sub, even if they can’t submerge.

That's pretty dumb. I suspect they'll "fix" that next patch. Odds are they'll just remove sacrifice altogether because giving it to all factions gives them all access to that method of getting to T2. It's only useful in the early game where the mass sacrificed actually makes a dent in the overall cost, so it's not like it's a good feature to have. All it's done is allow for cheap tactics and exploits. :P I just tested it and the T2 upgrade was done before 10 T1 engs had sacrificed on the ACU, so it probably only takes 5-8 of them get to T2.

If you start out a game and build 20 engineers and start the heat sink upgrade (without using the pause exploit), you can get fully through it before the 5 minute mark of the game if you sacrifice them all. Given, this can be countered if the other commander uses air units, but it's still a bit ridiculous. From what people are saying, the devs haven't deemed this an exploit, but I was really curious what the rest of you thought about that. I have a replay of it being used in a ranked game if you're interested. Seems they added quite a few more bugs =/. The other “exploit” in a lot of debate online also deals with the Aeon commander.
