Jamtime360 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) Post your Comms here.(Loadout,Price,Intended purpose) Commander page on zk website shows misleading costs: For true price, use cheats + quickbuild, Comms will spawn at 1 value. Also useful for testing "making cost" scenarios. +3 / -0
Shaman 4 years ago Any comm > level 2: Metal donation. Cost: Too high. That look on commorphers faces when they get ultimatiumed or skuttled: priceless. For everything else, there's GalactiStorage's Metal Donation Card. Sign up today for our `like it or get half your metal back` rewards program! +2 / -4

Manored 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) I theoretically have 2 loadouts but I pretty much never remember to upgrade my com or to try to use the loadouts. I'm a com-in-base kinda guy. It doesn't help that, as mentioned, com upgrades kinda suck. I think going up to level 3 is worth it if you know what you're doing it for, though. A lot of cool things for coms require at least level 3, such as lazarus device. I might be more interested in com upgrades if there were upgrades useful for coms that will sit in base, but there aren't. I guess things like more BP or speed can help, but its much cheaper to just make more builders. +1 / -0
Jamtime360 4 years ago sea comms? :O +1 / -0
Manored 4 years ago I seem to recall there used to be a submarine weapon for coms, but its been removed since. No more sea com shenanigans. +1 / -0
teddmcfred 4 years ago love using commanders although wish there was more variaty added and same for campaign commanders to be the same as multiplayer and ability to bring your own for to co-op +1 / -0
ltmauve 4 years ago I've actually been having a lot of fun with Guardian Comm with 8x range and SLAM rocket. You just kind of walk it around behind your army and occasionally delete a mex or some porc using the SLAM. As long as you space-click it, you can keep doing whatever engineering task you set up while still plinking away at stuff. +1 / -0
Astran 4 years ago First: commorph is a lobster's game. Second: I like commorphing. I have three favourites. Endurance Commander name: Guardian Commander Level 2: Metal: 225 Slot 1 (Weapon): Heat Ray Slot 2 (Module): Ablative Armor Plates Level 3: Metal: 650 Slot 3 (Module): High Density Plating Slot 4 (Module): Ablative Armor Plates Level 4: Metal: 750 Slot 5 (Flex Wep): Heat Ray Slot 6 (Module): Ablative Armor Plates Slot 7 (Module): Autorepair System This makes a THICK chunky boy that just melts shit up close. He's useful if people are scything comms a lot, he's almost unbeatble up close vs most other lobcomms and also useful when the opposing air is trying to kill commanders. I like having this guy in porc towers where the lack of range of heat ray is not so critical. Kenshiro Commander name: Strike Commander Level 2: Metal: 25 Slot 1 (Weapon): Slot 2 (Module): Level 3: Metal: 500 Slot 3 (Module): Slot 4 (Module): Personal Cloak Level 4: Metal: 550 Slot 5 (Flex Wep): Disintegrator Gun Slot 6 (Module): Slot 7 (Module): The simplest, most pared-down d-gun comm I can think of. This I use to counter enemy rushes like Cyclops and Grizz. It's also useful if there are exposed enemy commanders out front. Not really a trollcomm in the classic sense. Buildmaster2000 Commander name: Engineer Commander Level 2: Metal: 175 Slot 1 (Weapon): Slot 2 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Level 3: Metal: 400 Slot 3 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Slot 4 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Level 4: Metal: 850 Slot 5 (Man. Wep): Multi-Stunner Slot 6 (Module): Ablative Armor Plates Slot 7 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe My usual boi. Since I like porc push, it makes sense to have a comm that can build and repair really fast. The upgrades are cheap and upgrading the first two levels gives me a significant build capacity without spending too much metal. +3 / -0
Manored 4 years ago Despite what you said the second and third ones look genuinely useful. First is kind of a stretch, I guess being good at not getting murdered preserves those 4 m/s. BTW, it would increase the price a bit but you could throw in Lazarus device in the last one. Rez your own dead porc and all. +1 / -0
TheWarning 4 years ago Commander name: Owen Grady Strike Commander Level 2: Metal: 225 Slot 1 (Weapon): Lightning Rifle Slot 2 (Module): Ablative Armor Plates Level 3: Metal: 400 Slot 3 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Slot 4 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Level 4: Metal: 750 Slot 5 (Flex Wep): Lightning Rifle Slot 6 (Module): Advanced Targeting System Slot 7 (Module): Advanced Targeting System Level 5: Metal: 650 Slot 8 (Module): Advanced Targeting System Slot 9 (Module): Advanced Targeting System Slot 10 (Module): High Power Servos Level 6: Metal: 750 Slot 11 (Module): Damage Booster Slot 12 (Module): Damage Booster Slot 13 (Module): Damage Booster Used in team games. +1 / -0
skuggmodzer0 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) I'd like to be able to build more commanders in a factory, and lay upgrades on some of the superunits. Probably mostly would reserve it for AI games, but its good fun to mix and match, then blow stuff up. +1 / -0
Trojaner_ 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) Commander name: sfirepluk Singu rush Engineer Commander Level 2: Metal: 225 Slot 1 (Weapon): Beam Laser Slot 2 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Level 3: Metal: 400 Slot 3 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Slot 4 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Level 4: Metal: 1100 Slot 5 (Man. Wep): Heavy Particle Beam Slot 6 (Module): Lazarus Device Slot 7 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Level 5: Metal: 650 Slot 8 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Slot 9 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe Slot 10 (Module): CarRepairer's Nanolathe A commander I copied from Firepluk a really long time ago (probably some years) +1 / -0
Manored 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) Being able to build new commanders would be fun, but they would probably suck. Even more than now since being able to make more commanders would require commanders to get nerfed. Also, from what I recall a dead commander gives you something like 2000 metal in reclaim, which means that in theory their nominal cost is something like 5000 metal. Yeah nope. +0 / -0
skuggmodzer0 4 years ago You could charge 5000 metal and I'd build it in an AI game. There should be more upgrades also! And trophies to win for using commanders to do great deeds. +0 / -0
teddmcfred 4 years ago there are already trophies or do you mean extra trophies specific to commanders?. I think having some pre-loaded options on lvl 1 commanders would help with variety say speed or range or damage boost etc. +0 / -0
