I want 15% more range and damage

since servos got 15% more speed. i demand 15% more range and 15% more damage

but speed is the biggest factor and we got that :/ why not range and damage?

dude you really hating me. I killed troll coms 3 game in a row. i was messing with troll com builds. i wasn't playing seriously that game.

Boost speed increase to 20%, i want sonic da hedgehog com

Forever, could you please stop asking the devs to instantly implement each and every idea of yours (or ask for votes)? Seriously, try discussing them here first.

Speed: Coms are slow - if they are faster, they can still get stunned, skuttled, or nuked... ever tried a Licho?

Damage Boosters: Damage Boosters are the only thing that allows coms to penetrate shields (except relatively weak gauß).
If you get 20%, I will use them a lot more!
But then you can forget about the high-Caliber-Barrel, especially as it don't work for dguns ...

Range: Do you really want coms that can outrange Annis with Sniper guns and high Calliber barrel?

It's really very simple, we just need to set the per-module value to something people would actually want to spend a slot on, and then set the max number of modules to the maximum value we want to see on comms.

You don't need any diminishing returns BS because that ruins any chance at specialization. Diminishing returns is a kind of soft cap, we don't need this when we already have a hard cap. That is what the max module count is for, and the only significance of the number 8 is that is the number of modules you could originally fit on a max level comm!

Stacking 8 of one module is a bad? So you don't want people to specialize their comms into a custom build? So you want people to stack one of every module? One mobility module on the feet, a HP module in the chest, a DPS module in the arms... sounds pretty generic.

I'd rather see more specialized commanders with niche builds like d-gun cloak, long range rocket skirm, high HP riot or disruptor skirmisher.

We just need to ensure that a broader rage of builds are viable and buying any of the modules can be good, but investing in the max number of any one module doesn't lead to exceeding a critical threshold (Like artillery range riot weapons, comms moving faster than bandits, etc). We also needs things like RoF modifiers (higher RoF, or lower RoF for more damage), AoE modules, modules that reduce accuracy but increase DPS, modules that add a burst to weapons, modules that make weapons have an arcing trajectory, etc.

For what it matters power does not scale linearly. Once you can outrange a HLT, outrun a bandit or survive a few shots from a Spy/Skuttle/Anni/Pene/Nuke bomber, then you're often better off focusing on other stats. The reason we see people stack the max number of range modules is that the 10% scales off of the base range of the weapon- using a weapon with a high base range makes that 10% so much more valuable that it out-competes other modules.

I know, so then you have a different movement ability, DPS ability, defense ability, etc every level.

This does not encouraging specializing into a focused build. Not every comm build should even have a mobility related module.

quote: If we want more customized coms, why are the weapon potentials so unbalanced? * Some weapons can - properly buffed - penetrate shields with high alpha or snipe units, but it is hard to aim at or hit the targets * Other have high AOE, but not enough to clear structures under shields AND enough dps to actually do damage. * Arty has not enough range to outrange Anni (1500m tremor can) AND deal enough alpha damage to penetrate the shields.

Com is not meant to destroy shielded annis/other buildings. What exactly about that is underpowered?
