Yo.

Is it possible to make the cybran acu laser weapon a toggle, like the shields on aeon/uef ACUS?

It may sound strange, but using the example of https://replay.faforever.com/16458241

I've come to the opinion that cloak by itself + gun is in a lot of cases better than if you had it with laser. Reason being in the middle of a fight, it is impossible NOT to notice a huge red laser and immediately recognise what's going on. Que rapid and rabid pinging from everyone on your team. Invisible monkeylord bug jokes aside.

But if on the other hand you don't have this upgrade, you're free to basically OC at will and more often than not your opponent won't realise why his units are being chewed up so fast.

Anyway, maybe its just me who likes screwing around with late game cybran ACU's so much.

Cheers!

"but cybran were always meant to be weak defensively"

Being cybran in an artillery duel is a recipe for disaster.
Their t3 pgens being made of paper also doesn't help.

@ftxcommando

make it so

well.

i, for one, had been complaining for years that the GC omni was pointless and pretty much the only function seemed to be to give the middle finger to cybran cloak coms.
no tears shed from me on that change.

laser change seems strange though. Are we meant to intuitively know that the laser on a com is now less strong than a monkeylord laser?
