What are these T1 FA thingies on screen?

Thanks.|||Haha, seriously? They’re mexes. You build mass extractors on them or you lose |||They are mass spots. You build mass extractors (mexes) over them and get mass. Mass is important. I'm actually amazed you got along without building mexes. What is your secret?|||X-Cubed|||1. In the box with Stop and Attack, etc, the top-right icon controls the attack-states for the selected units.
You can put them on hold-fire, which means they won't attack at all. If you give any units that are on hold-fire instructions to shoot, they'll take aim and get ready... but they still won't fire.
2. Select your factory, right click where you want the tanks/planes produced to rally. Same affair as in Rise of Nations and most modern RTS games.

Do you have vanilla Supreme Commander? I think you'd benefit from playing the campaign on that first as it goes through a reasonably good tutorial while you play.|||bofhlusr|||OrangeKnight|||BulletMagnet|||This thread may help get you started: viewtopic.php?t=25140url
It has some tutorial videos on economy management.|||Thank you. I'll check them out.
How did you capture the screen in the game. Also, can I download the videos? How?
I was checking out some book guides on Amazon and noticed that the book on SC costs several times more than the game!
$117 - 209 US$ !??

I will say that the vanilla SupCom tutorial was better since it had videos that explained the game concepts. FA really assumes that you know what to do.|||Quote:|||
Top right. Click it and a little menu will appear.

Also, on the topic of handling your bombers: put them on a patrol. They'll remain flying, but they'll stay in a the area you tell them. Having them stay on the ground doesn't really benefit you at all because fighters are capable of targetting landed bombers. If your bombers are in the air, they can't be shot at by tanks.|||BulletMagnet|||They are not the same bars, the Missiles unit shave orange bars and show the progress on their reload and aircraft have a fuel bar, when it runs out they fly very slowly and I think they can't attack either. Only the Air Staging Pads can refuel aircraft.
Any RTS is very confusing if you just jump straight into skirmishes after skipping the tutorial(s).

SupCom and FA do have very steep learning curves, especialy for someone new to the series. You'll get the hang of it in time.|||I sat here for five mins trying to figure out something to post. All I can say is that if gpg was relic you'd probably be here posted that their games are borderline harassment because of tutorials.|||Just play the supcom 1 tutorial and all will be explained and you ahve a whale of a time playing the game online when you know how to.
Try not to play it online or u get noobed bashed left right and center
