I want to see like now com config with different weapons and modules, but for all units. So player can make his own units with different weapons and then when in game, all will build from same facs like htanks, air etc. but their units will be different. Same model, but different weapons, modules, armor/shields. For example one player equip his reaper with lazors, and other with gauss, one made it speedy, other added armor.. and so on. But no morph like with coms, just different modules has different cost, and result cost of unit will be sum of all modules+base cost
I think this is not hard to code, rather hard to balance. But community grows, and will help with balance.

This will make this game best rts evar.

Not again -.-

We've had this discussion before. It boils down to:
1. Do it yourself.
2. You won't be able to balance it.

Your "best rts evar" already exists. I suggest you play Warzone 2100. :)

+1 , Warzone 2100 is/was awesome and I'm glad it got open sourced as well.

I feel like in those alien films where an alien gets inside people and lay eggs, but in this case it's neonstorm instead of an alien xDDD

Warzone has no terraform TROLOLO :)

How would you like the interface?
Ever tried to make a supreme-commander-like build menu for Zero-K?

OFC it is easy to do (if you can copy and paste your mind into lua)
-> You "only" need much time to find your bugs and understand how the chili stuff works in order to avoid more bugs in your part.

I have some of my ideas written down here, but I recognized how much I have to learn about the engine before even start to write gadgets (synced vs unsynced, etc.)

brroleg, someone else already had this idea here: http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/4106

You should cooperate and make a game for Spring together. Maybe based on ZK.

Nope. Most we'll do is make comm rebuildable.
