Pretty cool guy, doesn't afraid of deadlines. Plays Warframe instead finishing BrewLAN and getting all the girls.

It was originally going to be the name for just the projectile, but it ended up getting applied to the unit as well.

It's pretty comparable to the Absolver. The name as it currently stands is Othismash. Based on othismos, the Hoplite shield formation thing.

Sound issues are usually a vanilla issue related to the game not supporting surround sound, which OS's tend to default to these days even if you only have 2 speakers.

It's technically public, but it can be a bit weird if you're not signed in.

For the lobby options in vanilla you need the Sorian lobby enhancement. The FAF stuff is on my radar.

So in theory, a well scripted generic 'enable building civ structures' mod should be able to allow that, however I've not checked any out to see if any are scripted to work like that.

The only real thing they have to change is that they have no defined tech level by default, and the default build UI isn't set up to handle that.

If you were after placing my roads though, that one would require some specific work to set up, since they are specifically placed and rotated decals.

Similar situation with the props, although if you don't mind cheating, I did a major rework of the cheat spawn menu to give previews and be able to place props.

The engine can't really handle that.

Suthanus is also several weapon names, which you can't see in game because it's an unused field. I could drop the Suth part.
Then it'd just be called Anus.

I don't agree with a bunch of the conculsions that that wiki page come to, and don't use it to base anything on.

Seraphim also have 3 things called Iya in vanilla. Suthanus just means artillery.

So to give some proper replies, there will by T2 ones eventually, there will be differences but I'm not going to go into that until it's closer to the time.

Fulcrum I classified as a strike fighter as several compromises to get the politically motivated commission to fit within the already well stocked UEF roster: The MiG-29 is an ASF/multirole fighter, except UEF already has an ASF, and it's not enough of a bomber to be a fighter/bomber, so strike fighter; an aircraft primarily with a fighter focus that can also attack other stuff. It's filling the slot of a UEF T3 fighter/bomber, but it does reduced damage to things with heavier armour than aircraft, so the strike fighter designation is there to distinguish it from a regular fighter/bomber.

As to the flatness and the name; it's a fountain pen. You're lucky I didn't call it Parker. Also calling it Inanna wouldn't work as well when a T2 exists, and it'd probably look weird to anyone that looked it up and saw they were the same thing.

The vampire from the film Nosferatu, yes.
One benefit of the low fuel; it needs to land to re-activate the cloak, and low fuel means if you patrol it, it will more frequently go back to repair pads to refuel and reactivate the cloak.
Another thing to mention not represented in the wiki is the effects of being out of fuel for this, rather than losing 75% speed, it loses 40% speed and the cloak.

Having looked at the x4 unit cap mod, it's because it doesn't check it's not trying to multiply a nil value. The fix is modify the x4 mod.

Only if you exclude the stand-off missiles of the Shrieker.

Bombers never hit their theoretical DPS limits; the calculation assumes the weapon fires on cooldown, which is reliant on the flight characteristics, of which the Shrieker moves a lot faster. It also excludes detail on what they are likely to actually hit in a given bombing run.

Not to downplay the power of either though. If you only get one run on a shield, this does more damage (excluding the stand-off missiles of the Shrieker again), but the Shrieker is more likely to survive for multiple runs.
