aubergine, we need a way to mark strings to gettext can extract them, kind of QT_TR_NOOP() for JS API to only mark strings but not replace them yet would be useful in some cases.

Interesting idea, but I would put additional limit in form of maximum percentage progress, like you may skip at most 30% of research time of each item (distributing accumulated time to each next item). Ideally it would give only speedup for such researched item, so progress bar won't start at 30% le...

Rman Virgil, yeah, those seems to be perfect for Scavengers, at least if not used too often.

Originway, you can discuss how to show tech tree (in context of research queue) here:

Other things should end up in Trac, some of them might already have tickets, like issue with textures.

Iluvalar, that depends on implementation. If it would be done in a way where shield is effective against some weapons and not just cool effect replacement for auto repair then you could use other weapons to shoot at targets inside.

aubergine, or going directly to use some external physics library (which could have some other uses too).

Ah, this ECM. Yeah, personally I would like to see shields as something that is better against long range attacks with degrading usefulness as enemy approaches closer to base, that could also apply to ECM.

aubergine, that's not really map editing.
But would be nice to have, it was often requested to give trucks ability to modify terrain.

Duha, bad for developers, good for compilers (unless they are big due to something being done wrong).

EOT

What means "ECM" In this context? :-) About Achilles' Heal , a whole shield should be greatly damaged or temporary shoot down in case of EMP attacks. Power draw is more like drawback and depending on (active) power generators and oil derricks (or more like, ability to disable it by simply ...

aubergine, maybe cyborgs parachuting from VTOLs?
Someone proposed in the past to change VOTLs (or maybe all units? don't remember) so those would be piloted by cyborgs and such pilot could escape when VTOL is shot down.

Jorzi, yes, but hover would give cyborgs bigger advantage, since they used to die so easily that I've avoided use of them.
Also, I guess that we don't have such unit yet, in core game?

aubergine, this is example, it doesn't (yet) apply to WZ addons.

My concern is that probably nobody would use that on low oil maps, too big "hardware requirements".
Unless it would stop everything (for some time), have big radius and greatly damage enemy units that pass it.
Adding power draw aspect will make it harder to balance.

aubergine wrote:* hover trucks get to build site much faster (and can go over water)

Me want hover based transporter for cyborgs.

And yeah, surely trucks are easier to manage, when I've first time tried cyborg engineers then I had issues with distinguishing them from other cyborgs.
