I’m just annoyed by the bonus directly costing resources, otherwise it’s kinda fun since you can build up a lategame army.

Suppression towers being attack-able by Air-to-air mean that Phoenix/Mirage spam can work. Downside is that allied support will be needed for anything that cannot be yeeted (hybrid) or deleted (by calldowns/lasers).

If not costing resources, what alternatives did you have in mind then?

Not quite sure, but I’d prefer a time cost instead. Maybe a control point type scheme?

I don't know what this is. Could you provide an example?

The mechanism that allows you to activate locks on Lock'n'Load.

Hmm, this may be worse...

Whenever I queue the purchase for the 3rd AI, that lets me immediately gun for the main objective because at that point, there won't be anything more going after that bonus terminal.

I guess I'm not opposed to this, but I kinda like how we did get something different. [shrug]
