What, specifically, do you mean?

Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.

hmm... i like the templates design... although if we start going down that route we have to have saved template design like in galactic civilisations!

We could name the perks after the WZ classes too...
Speed and cheap-Paradigm Class
Balanced-Project Class
Defensive but spendy-Collective Class
Offensive but spendy-Nexus Class

Not saying you only have to use the tech of each class but that each class has its own special abilities as such above

Basically, let's say you're in the pre-game screen and next to the color choices, or right below the team number choice is a perk choice. Like VTOL, Infantry, Industry, Economy, etc... this would all change things by low percentages, but offer a fun gameplay choice- lets say you choose Industry (Pump out more units) then all units cost X% more energy, and similarly, Economy (More energy) will make units come out slower. If you got Infantry, then you'll have increased attack and defense of infantry, but decreased attack and defense of tanks...

Heck, if this actually gets implemented, I'll probably script in some ridiculously imba upgrades for these classes towards the end of the campaign. After all, the only real way to learn to play MP is to play other players. Campaign is really to learn the controls and how to create units, etc.

Also, based on what he said:

Industry: Can produce two units simultaneously at any given factory(or just a build speed upgrade), but modules take much longer to add on, and they can only make 3 (4 maybe?) factories. Furthermore, units cost roughly 50% more, making it imperative that they have good power. Upgrades reduce additional unit cost.

Power: Gains power much faster. However, unit production and creation of power stations and modules is slowed.

Engineering: Structures build 20% faster (If you don't think this is an advantage, think about the ability to set up power, factories, everything in the beginning of a no bases game, and in a T3 game, the ability to set up forts AA and artillery quickly). However, structures cost 40% more.

Collective: 20% bonus to HP and armor, 10% reduction in speed. Max speed remains identical for a given propulsion, but more engine upgrades are required to reach it. Additional HP for defenses, but they cost more, though not as much more as they do for engineering.

Nexus:Ultimate technologies research faster, LasSat recharges slightly faster, and sensors gain range. However, everything costs more.

These are rough concepts, and I know that they aren't balanced.
:D :D :D :D This is what I was what I was going for!!! :D :D :D :D

Or perhaps make the Command Relay center the place where you research upgrades to your "class"? Just a thought. It'd be simpler, in the short term, though, to link the improvements in classes to existing upgrades.

When people say "class" I think it seems too constricting.... :hmm:

The idea having a statistic edge on a opponent is fine and dandy since the enemy will also have one, but when people start saying classes and such - that could mean having only certain types of research.
To me that is not Warzone is all about, it more about the freedom of having to design and strategically out do your opponent to win.
Though classes may interest some, they are not for me.... Just say'n.
