        A move or attack move command, where you can give an order to attack a specific unit while moving.
        Example: imagine you're attacking a fleeing commander with a bunch of t1 tanks, and that commander is protected by several of his tanks. You want to push forward with your tanks to cut him off, but if you do a attack command on commander, your units will go to their maximum range and shoot, and if you do a move command, your tanks will not focus on a commander, but shoot at everything within range. It would be awesome to be able to set a attack target without breaking the move command.

          That’s what the old attack priority was for and it was considered to destroy game balance as a single mis micro of ACU would result in losing a third of your hp and drastically increased draw probability on many maps.

            An option to not show any custom games that require you to use mods you hate. Like if I never wanted to play any games with Black Ops I wouldn't ever see them and therefore couldn't accidentally join one.

                @jip I know there are chat commands for this, but a rank total and quality number displayed for everyone in the lobby would be really helpful in settling discussions about balance.

                Thanks!

                    I'd just give it the default structure selection sound, don't see a reason for it to have a special one

                    @deribus Totally agree + the same for Aeon EYE, which is even more important, as this building gets selected very often. There is no new information passed to the user when playing this special sound -- I just clicked on the building, I know exactly what building I am selecting.

                      Show the total score of each team in the lobby. To make it easier to balance

                      And also how many games the team played in total.

                        I'm looking into the team statistics but the lobby is a bit out of space.

                          @jip Reduce the countdown timer for people who lost connection to 30 seconds, or at least have a mod that we can enable if we want to have a reduced countdown timer.

                            This is a lobby option since the last patch, see also this pull request on Github. The host will need to set this option.

                                      If power reserves are going to last less than 1 minute at the current rate, provide an audible alarm "Low Power!" once every 30 seconds at most. So if "ENERGY / Power_Deficit < 60 seconds".

                                      This might help new players (and players like me) enormously to avoid power stalls. This is the only game I know that does NOT warn about low resources.

                                        It would be helpfull to have Information in game creation menu if choosed map is ranked or not.
                                        This can be filter or icon or something other, thats up to you.

                                        Additionaly this information in game search menu would be usefull too.

                                          Add a button close to where player "x" which sends them a notification asking them to "x" when they are not ready (instead of having to go on the desktop, to tell them to x).

                                          Just in case this proposition hasn't be seen. I think it would be very usefull to wake afk up easily!

                                          The notification could be a message in the chat, or could make "blink" the game icon like when the game appears to be full!

                                          Thanks for all the work on faf.

                                            Hi

                                            thanks for the oppotunity.

                                            Make FAF chat include history of chat

                                            sometimes... I miss messages and would like to open the chat with the players and see the history .. would be nice to switch it into and inbox system
