I went a very long time without switching mine…

:) That's you. In the other hand, i just did not had any better idea so i sticked with this, until i have something. It makes me remember of the good times, long gone.

Cybran Nation from Supreme Commander.
I just love cyborgs (so i hope FD allows me to create my ingame avatar with a lot of different mechanical parts, i dont need this weak, human flesh)

Yup, its a good game altrough sadly i was not able to play with its second episode for some reason its always frozen out.

You know it's predecessor?
Total Annihilation.

Mine's an old screenshot of my Second Life avatar. The backdrop looks appropriately celestial, and it'll do until I have time to conjure something better.

My problem is this forum avatar choices, the stamp size. Seriously people we writing 2016 bandwidth and server storage capacity, must be capable to handle much larger avatars. Not to mention the steady increase of the monitor resolutions, 4K is already in use, and on those monitors you must look trough magnifying glass to this stiny pictures to see anything. i don't wait wonders, but?

C'mon!

Some avatar characters need to be seen every now and then, so that we don't forget them. They all have a story to tell, so check out the FULL story of the minion cyborg sometime (an old favorite of mine), as well as the others here.

never played TA, and the freeze is sadly normal for many different strategy games. some of them had massive issues with ram and cpu, once the 4Gb were full they just froze.
Supreme Commander 2 was laughable, it was just horrible, it had nothing to do with the good old SupCom anymore.
some of the devs then created Planetary Annihilation, it had a good start, but then they decided that more gameenders are better than strategy, so i quit it too.

so im still waiting for a game like good old SupCom with all its tactics and possibilities...i loved the sneaky cybran way, i loved to cloak and ambush, sadly i rarely played them because the stealth mechanic was kinda broken (once you made visual contact you could always see them, no way to hide again...so kinda useless to hide in the first place), so i mostly played aeon there, used the mobility and precision (one thing that i would love in Elite too by the way, i want to use the speed of my cutter to get out of range and then snipe them from afar)

So at least i did not lost too much. :)

About TA if you don't have problems with this old games i suggest you to try out, it was a good game! :) Same style and atmosphere, only its a little older. 1997
The other kind of strategy games, what i missing is The old westwood / blizzard brand likes, the very last i was played with and counted as an acceptable game was RA3 after that? I don't even know there is any of their kinds, worth to mention, after the absolute deep point with Tiberian twilight. YUCK! puking smiley

Ok, ok there is Starcraft but as far i aware of it's the last torchbearer of this brand.
