Supreme Commander Talk

The latest version of GPGnet, 1.5 was just released (as it was previously announced it would be). The patch notes, as announced by Son of Shagrat on the official forum, are as follows:
GPGnet Award System
A new award and avatar system has been put in place. In your Profile, you will note many new recognitions [...]

This open thread is an ode to open threads. Do what you usually do in open threads, but if you could be musical about it, that’d be great.
As for the semi-structured topic of this open thread (though of course you’re welcome to sing about anything else), the choice is obvious: the recent patch. [...]

The v3255 has changed air balance more than the patch notes would lead you to believe. No, air superiority fighters haven’t been improved (sigh), but now that Soul Rippers can be targeted by gunships, the dynamic of air combat changes a lot (at least in battles that have one or more Cybran players). [...]

GPG has just released a new version of SupCom, v3255. This hotfix apparently fixes a possible desync exploit, although I am unsure of any details. There are no official release notes that I can find, just a one line message on GPGnet. Unfortunately, this means that yet again old replays are incompatible [...]

Something is off with the naval balance in Supreme Commander, as I’m sure everyone who’s ever played a naval map is aware. Submarines are just too powerful. On a per-mass basis, they are by far the most effective unit at taking control of the high seas. Until sea control is established, experienced [...]

The custom map Art of Defense is all the rage these days on GPGnet (sorry Zone Control). It is widely liked for how difficult it is. You can be a really good player and still need multiple tries to figure it out (like I saw when playing with Unconquerable), because it’s quite different [...]

A new GPGnet patch is coming next week. I’ve spoken with Son of Shagrat, the Producer of GPGnet, and he has confirmed the following new features:

An awards system, which will reward players for performing certain feats in ranked play (like, say, 5 wins in a row?). Awards will also be given to winners [...]

We had a bit of a fight break out here on SupComTalk when no-rush periods were first announced by GPG in the v3251 patch notes. Between our two posts on the subject we had over 100 comments on the pressing issue of the day. Luckily, it all turns out to have been for [...]

The saga continues.

Check out the new fan art. Nice one Stealth870!

What’s on your mind? Have a lot of SupComming planned for tonight? It’s the weekend! And if you find yourself getting slightly bored of Supreme Commander, I highly recommend that you try playing some of the custom maps like Supreme Art of Defense and Zone Control. They’re like playing entirely different [...]
