So you're asking for essentially what C&C Shockwave has?

[generalcamo]

For 3.0, tech outposts should be able to have a build radius around them, as that was the original purpose of the structure. Not as much as Expansion posts though.

[Zenothist]

I would like to see a unit for each side which is smaller than an MCV and starts off with a tiny build radius that expands the longer it is deployed. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this will be done in Ares. Of course, it doesn't provide buildings on its own.

[Graion Dilach]

Explain further, Zeno, I don't understand. If I get it, I might check a way to get it implemented. Wouldn't be the first one...

[Black/Brunez]

I think it´s a outpost which. with the time, the build radius incrase.

So, on a long battle, you would be able to build anywere on the battlefield?

[Zenothist]

Brunez is correct. Well, there will be limitations of course to how far it can expand. This idea isn't really mine, Speeder proposed it earlier.

[generalcamo]

I don't see it working too well.

[Zenothist]

Well, I'll explain:

A lot of people have suggested in the past to bring expansion post-like units to the mod so that you didn't have to build the expensive, but most importantly, cumbersomely large MCV.

The problem is that if you allowed this, they would be used for easy base crawling among other things as you would get a large amount of build space instantly. Imagine if I simply deployed a small expansion post unit near your base, and had a War Factory and Centurion both at 98%?

If you first deploy it, and it takes time to actually get enough space to build, for instance, a War Factory, you could effectively balance it out as the opponent would have a chance to destroy it.

Give Allies a mobile Airbase

I'd like to remind you all that we have our own IRC room. We frequent it quite often so hop on to this link and join in for live feedback of your ideas.

Who knows, you might catch us discussing some new stuff for the mod.

About the expansion post issue, you can also make it deploy very slowly like in C&C3.

[Zenothist]

Not possible in RA2. Deploying is always at the same speed.

[Jargalhurts]

Also, could you guys please change back to the old Soviet menu interface? I don't like the new one a single bit.

I don't think stealth while not moving is possible yet, but that is a pretty neat design.

As for the side bars, in my opinion, they should all be more unique as only the Soviet one really stands out. But that's up to Speeder to decide.

No, because the modified old Soviet sidebar is used by Epsilon.

Could be disguise.
