Just beat mission 1.

Playstyle: killed all the units/structures in the first section, then snuck past the mechs in the 2nd section.

Nice. That's the right idea, pretty much. I'd like to say killing everything in part 1 isn't necessary, but it's ultimately safer that way I suppose.

Thoughts:  The reaper seems really strong against non-mech, and with some micro can just kite infantry.  Plus the grenade is basically "i win this engagement".  And speed-sabotage prevents fights from dragging on as you take out their production first.

Sniper is also really nice, being able to take out 1-2 guys before you get in combat is good, and can lock down the few mechs you find.  Holo decoy is useful, but it competes with lockdown for energy.

Didn't use any of the firebat's skills, he seems good enough vs infantry as is.

The Tychus's slow is even better for boosting the reapers kiting vs infantry.

Interesting! Yeah I found myself wanting to get rid of enemy production asap as well.

I guess what you're saying is no one in the squad is particularly useless, which is what I like to hear. I don't really mind the reaper being able to kite effectively with a little micro, especially when supported by the gunner - but I'll consider toning it down a little.

I'm considering making lockdown - and possibly decoy as well - cooldown-based. That was the plan initially but I ended up enjoying the occasional double-lockdown. I don't know.

The firebat is essentially a tank, I feel like he's currently not needed for every engagement but really useful for when things are about to get out of hand.

Curious if you used cloak at all? I feel like it needs some changes.

CAPSLOCK for pause needs to be reiterated for the player, I lost a few times before I remembered that was a thing

In reply to Jones313:

I only used cloak in defensive moments, when I wasn't paying attention and a patrol flanked the sniper while I was focusing on assaulting a base.  Preferred to keep my units together, so using it for flanks didn't seem appealing.

One more thing, perhaps a buff/debuff icon that says that heroes have been incapitated once.

Bugs:

When using Limited Edition, if you select an upgrade & hit OK, deselect Limited Edition, and select it again, the popup window will not go away. (same thing happens with Prototype gear)

Limited Edition and Prototype gear windows will not go away if both are selected without making a choice.

There's just a lot of bugs with those two in general.

Hmm. I couldn't reproduce the first issue exactly like that, but yeah, these are lazily put together for now and break easily, so obviously will be looked into at some point.

Not clear that dialogue is click to continue.

I'll add some sort of one-time welcome screen to the launcher, I guess.

Enemies will aggro when you do actions (like placing a scanner drone) on high ground

That's odd. This is totally possible, but is it also possible they were aggroed by something else? AI has a pretty long aggro range and it could take a while before their reinforcements show up.

Got a random mission defeat in m1

Are you sure you didn't just lose a bunch of POWs?

One of the camps in the middle of the map is in range of an enemy sniper, so if you go there before taking out the sniper to the west, he's going to start picking off POWs as soon as you bust them out, which is admittedly kinda bullshit. It's not that noticeable either. It doesn't lose you the game by itself if you move the POWs away quickly enough since you're allowed to lose up to seven.

I'll double check it but other than that and getting one of your squad members killed there shouldn't be a way to lose the map.

Spelling mistakes:

Holo decoy: "useful skill toi have"

Heh. That's a reference (including the typo) to former Brood War / SC2 player Idra, one of his famous quotes.

I think that's the only dumb meme / intended typo in the mod, so if there are any other typos, they're accidental. Though I need to mention that any not-entirely-proper grammar of certain characters is probably intentional.

Suggestions:

A-moved units during cutscenes make them look choppy and a bit silly (especially when i'm screaming at those hellions to get within minimum seige tank range :P )

Not Hellions, Hunters!

Obviously anything that looks particularly, uh, jank I'm hoping to improve a little bit in the future. As long as it's something that can be improved in a reasonable amount of time.

add a cutscene skip

the sound effects of sabotage get obnoxious, especially when it's on multiple buildings.

Add objective to mission 1: Clear evac point

Add objective to mission 1: clear another evac point (after 20 POWs rescued) 

Update objective with # of POW's rescued

Warn the player that new enemies have spawned all around the map, accidentally a-moved into 9 goliaths

 big bug: you can launch a mission after clicking aerial recon, which bugs it in so many ways like

*permanent square on screen

*invisible units

Mission 1: can f2-amove some marines from off the map

Mission 1: can move just after you hit the beacon so that you can get to the distress signal during the cutscene (and avoid the spawning goliaths)
