I just wonder if the commander can place a exosuit in the base for the marines to use?

    Yes, he can, the same way he can drop weapons. It needs to be near a proto lab, though.

    Yes. Use the drop weapon function, but I believe it can only be dropped in the range of a prototype lab.

    Misinformation. Commander can drop <b>single-gunned</b> exosuits only. Useful in a pinch or when dual exos are destroyed. You are better off producing an army of MACs to keep dual-gunned exosuits from exploding.

    I guess you were high.

    BTW: is there a reason why the comm can't drop dbl exos? Is it because the weaponlist in comm ui is already full?

    Brilliant..... If comm can only drop one arm exo then kammander should only be able to drop three legged onos.... An onos that can only turn left, he's a NASCAR fan after all....

    Yes definitely this. Also, if alien commander structures build automatically, then so should marine commander structures. Also, marines need leap.

    I'm guessing that the dual exo button just didn't fit on the interface, since there's no space for it. I'm sure they'll make a way to add it somehow in the future. It's not a terribly big deal right now tbh.

    There was an unfortuanate bug where an exosuit got stuck on the roof.
    Such a waste...

    I'd say that the normal exo is waste of a button, and if something, it should be a dual exo button if it is researched. The hand is just... meh. You're screwed if aliens get next to your exos.

    I'd rather have a jetpack, welder, and a shotgun than a single-gunner Exo. Man those things are terrible.

    theres a balance reason for this, do u really think they can create a game but cant find a way to make dbl exo dropable? BTW the single one with fist will get the rocket fist soon, dont know if that would make him better..... marines need only 2 bases for that drop so forget about yr 3 leg onos. :)

    Even better, you're better off producing jetpackers and ignoring exos entirely. If you want to win anyway.

    The developers have stated that the only reason dual-exos re not droppable is because there is no room for the button. Sure, the reason sounds silly but that's just how it is.

    In that case I'd rather them not allow any exos so the Commander would be forced to drop jetpacks and shotguns. Or at least replace the single with Dual. I mean seriously it's like aliens being limited to drop Fade eggs only. Except fade is actually useful.
