Ufo..

#1 Sometime next week we will be updating a few of the servers to allow the UFOs for online play. If everything wokrs out okay and everyone is not complaining about it, we will then slowly propogate the changes to all the servers and provide the necessary file to turn them on so people can launch their own UFO enabled servers.

We were going to make the change global, but we did not have time in this release to make changs to the shell to allow/disallow UFOs, so the iterim solution will require those who want to allow UFOs on their servers to get the new file (we did not want to force all those upgrading to automatically allow UFOs).

#2 Well please hurry up i miss my ufo

#4 The UFOs should now be unlocked on the Homelan servers. Those of you with UFOs, drop in and check it out. Everyone else, scream out if it impacts the game balance too much. If everything seems kosher, we will be slowly upgrading the rest of the servers and giving those who want it the 'fix' to allow UFOs on their own servers.

#5 It seams good

#6 UFOs SuX0rZ!!1!111! It's not fair! I'm not the fastest thing on the map any more! I've had to *adapt*! That's disgraceful!

And they're right beggers to hit! Not that I'm the best shot in the world - I have trouble hitting the metaphorical side of barn (since aiming was made "easier"). That's why I only play scrum. :D

#7 Whats with the armor on that UFO anyway? It has 1/2 the armor of a light? Whats up with that?

#8 It's about 1/2 the size of the light, too...

#9 But still, its not really noticably faster than the light, and it takes a heavy 4-5 shots to kill it. And you better pray that your enemy doesn't have area effect, because two of those can kill you, before you can even realize "ow, this hurts". Maybe you could boost the speed and handling a bit to make up for the weak armor? I mean, shouldn't people fear the UFO and all who drive them?? Instead, most people say "Hey look! One of those weak things! Lets kill it!"

#10 I don't know. I think the weaker armor balances out the fact that it is more maneuverable (or so it looked to me) and that its shots seem deadlier than the light tank. A UFO earlier today was taking out my heavy faster than light tanks, and light tanks have recently gotten a big boost in heavy killing. As long as the UFO kept moving around, it was a difficult kill...

#11 How do you un lock UFOs

#12 500K in solo mode

#13 I find ufo really easy to beat

#14 I dont even bother with the UFO anymore. It was cool for about 3 days, but now with all this "UFO please" BS the UFO isn't even worth getting legit anymore.

#15 >I dont even bother with the UFO anymore. It was cool for about 3 days, but now with all this "UFO please" BS the UFO isn't even worth getting legit anymore.

At least that's only on the modded servers. It's funny and disquieting to see newbie players typing "ufo please" or whatever in the other servers thinking they are going to get to quick change just anywhere. Just proves the confusion factor the modded servers can have. It's not an incredibly huge deal except for the annoyance having to explain why the phrases don't work. :)

#16 Oh gosh youre telling me. i see them typing just "ufo" without the slash and i keep having to say"dont forget the slash...good lord
