Man, that rocks! I think exploding means that it will hurt units around
it when it does.

Yes, only half. :-(

Most within one or two squares - they force the sealthed unit to decloak.

Wow.... so veterancy really will be worth something, just like they said all
along.

Those units that heal themself: do they heal fully? Or just up to half,
like the Harvester and Mammoth Tank did?

Those units that can detect stealth... what sort of range will they get, do
you think?

Bah... Well could be useful, for example, having a hit & run group of
6 HMLRSes which heal themself would be quite useful... Run in, hit
something, run out, heal, and repeat... Hope the heal rate just isen't
too slow...

>Titan: Acquires sensors for detecting stealth and subterranean units

Well... I really hope it's not one of those 1-square detection range
thingies like the guard towers in TD... Hopefully, their whole visual
radius...

>Wolverine: Becomes immune to Tiberium Veins

And this is suposed to be useful?

>Attack Cycle: New primary weapon & becomes immune to Tiberium Veins

What weapon? Just more powerful?

>Attack Buggy: Able to crush infantry

Yikes... If it's easy to get this thing on a veteran level, it becomes
scary.. Kind of like the light tank in RA...

>Subterranean Tank: Can heal itself
>Disruptor: Can explode... Not sure what that means

Hmm... When it dies, it explodes big time, like the hunter-seeker?

>Tick Tank: Acquires sensors for detecting stealth and subterranean

Wahoo....

>Stealth Tank: Can explode...
>Minigunner: Goes from minigun to M1 Carbine, and auto scatters

Well, since they are so crap anyway, it kind of makes no diffrence...
Except for the scatter thingie.

>Disc Thrower: Auto scatters
>Rocket Infantry: Auto scatters
>Cyborg: Becomes stronger

Ouch...


>Jump Jet Infantry: Invisible on Radar
>Orca Bomber: Invisible on Radar
>Banshee: Invisible on Radar

Hmm... This can be fairly useful... Imagine 4 Orca bombers or Banshees
attacking your raiding party without you knowing before everything is
over....

Anyway, the MM2 and Cyb. Commando don't have any veteran abilities?

Attack Cycle:
Primary=BikeMissile
Elite=HoverMissile

[BikeMissile]
Damage=40
ROF=60
Range=5
Projectile=HeatSeeker
Speed=30
Report=MISL1
Warhead=AP

[HoverMissile]
Damage=30
ROF=68
Range=8
Burst=2
Projectile=AAHeatSeeker2
Speed=30
Warhead=AP
Report=HOVRMIS1
MinimumRange=2

So, when it gets a new weapon, it does less damage, but fires more
rapidly, with a greater range and a proper explosion.

So in other words, it gets to use the HMLRSes weapon...

Charles Heffner is working on the Unit Description pages I think, and I'll
tell him to include these things...

When I was playing a mission, some units had the 2 bar thingies | | but
one had a STAR logo
on him -- what exactly does that mean? higher promotion? more abilities?

Nope... there's a line in the rules.ini that stops them from becoming
veterans.

Are you referring to the line
Trainable=no
Because I wasn't sure what that meant... That *does* make sense
though...
