Hi there — I’m new to this game (yeah, many years late). Trying to look for info here — or anywhere. Where should I go if I want to find multiplayer games? I was on GPGnet and it was pretty dead, or so it seems.

Hey Cyde. It has been too long. With the upcoming release of Starcraft:II I have gained a renewed RTS fever and wanted to check up on you and Supreme Commander. I hope all is well!

Where did you go Cyde Weys?

I’m with Gryphyn here. Cyde’s way of doing it would be difficult to set up in the UI without being pretty clumsy. You’d have to have a different button for each weapon. Having the cursor change to indicate what kind of weapon you’re targeting with might be a good idea. By that, I simply mean whether it’s AA, direct fire, arty, or TML.

Further, I second that the units are a pain in the ass to recognize on the build menu. There’s no reason for them not to be in color. Or marked. Or more different. Or something!

@meddish

its a target painter, neat udea really, hold it down and move over targets you want to destroy, then the units selected will go about their business without having to shift target them.

Being able to permanently reset your camera angle in the options would be nice, instead of having to adjust it every game. I’d rather a more top-down angle because it can be hard to select units obscured behind factories and such.

i believe hold position is assist area (think thats CRTL+ALT or something, or maybe ive been hitting the shortcut key and have not idea what is is)
the ACU can shoot 4-5 different targets with all its weapons, IE Guns = Tank, AA = Bomber, Arty = factory, Tac = PD etc etc BUT u have to use the move command and let it auto target from there, it would be WAY to much for u to say attack THIS THIS THIS AND THIS every few seconds as each one died off….

want a REALLY good question, WHY when u select a clump of units, and right click and HOLD, does a red circle come up???? (been on my list of questions to ask on the GPG forums for 2 weeks now, just havnt got around to it!

Max range SHOULD be like it was in Supcom 1 & FA Attack-Move = stop and attack ANYTHING that comes into range! with their Crappiest longest ranged weapons!

Agreed. It would be helpful to have a “hold position” toggle, or say if you press ctrl while targetting it means hold position. Any weapons within range would fire at that target without movement.

Or it could mean “move into range of longest range weapon only.”
