<div class="IPBDescription">can't select buildings...</div> Okay, I just got done with a 3ish hour long battle on... ahh, what's that really small map? with the horseshoe? that one. Anyway, started off me and two marines against 4 aliens. I went comm, cause we had one n00b and other guy told me to. Go figure. Anyway, to make a long story short, a loooong way into the game, I had a minibase built, and after building 6ish turrets, a siege (it was near the Eclipse(?) hive) and a resource tower, I started to notice that I couldn't select anything but my Siege turret. I could mouseover stuff, and see it's health, but clicking on anything simply selected the siege. I only noticed this AFTER I started an armory, arms lab, and sensor tower building, however. So, to make a long story short, I wasted lots of resources on the arms lab and sensor tower because I couldn't select them to research upgrades, and I couldn't upgrade the armory, although it wasn't a complete waste as it resupplied the lone marine guarding the minibase. After I got that minibase done, we moved on and took a hive, which I promptly placed about 4 turrets at. Upgrade to advanced, drop a siege for the remaining buildings, drop a resource and a phase gate, move on. At this point I was down to commanding 1 marine against 1 alien. I had lots of resources, but the alien had turreted in all over the place, so I pop a tfac in a likely place, go to upgrade to advanced... it selects a turret in the Hive base. Trying to get it to select, I recycle the turret. Click on the tfac. Selects the NEXT turret in the hive. I gave up and just sent the marine out with a grenade launcher.
SOoooo... anyone else have this problem, and can they fix it? because it's REALLY annoying me :-(

PS- I've decided I suck at commander. I could hold my own against aliens in 1.0, but in 1.01 the turret cost just kills my expansions. Take too long and too many resources. I think the aliens skulks have learned too well too <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> Then again, maybe it's all the under-12 player games I play <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
