<div class="IPBDescription">WTH how i do them</div> man every time i try COMMing i get totaly ***** up bcs i just dont know how to make upgrades.
i know wat building u need to make 4 them but i just cant select them why? then how i make upgrades
it is so stressing (besides the atrocious lag u get wen ur in the COMM chair), evry1 starts caling u nub and wen i ask how to make them they tell me to SELECT THE BUILDINGS WTH, thats what i try to do, but the only upgrade i seem to be able to do is the armory upgrade. i already checked the "how to play" page but it doesnt say it.
cmon tell me how to do it, am i doing sumthin wrong? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

can you elaborate on this Y-axis bug? do you mean when the mouse is at zero on the Y-axis?

No, when the *building* itself is at zero on the gamespace Y axis.
Which reminds me, is Eclipse going to be fixed for v1.1? That map drives me crazy with unselectable buildings...
now wat i want to know is how i give waypoints?

What are the levels you shouldn't build on? The lower part of Ecl or the part with the resnozzle? The floor of South Loop or the platform with the rs?
IIRC, I've also had problems building in North Core Access too. And I'm not sure, but I think I once couldn't build in Primary Generator Monitors.
(I seem to have had troubles just about everywhere in the SW quadrant of Eclipse at one time or another. Of the standard maps, this is the only one that really drives me batty. Maybe I'm just unlucky. It's a shame, since I love Eclipse.)
Note that in some maps certain areas won't allow you to give waypoints sometimes (I often get this in tanith Marine start)

I think that the whole coordinate system thing for NS is based on the perspective of the commander mode. The commander mode perspective is top-down, semi-classic 2D with depth. Adding the 3rd dimension into such a thing is sure to generate bugs. As most everyone that relocates to SL knows, you can't upgrade anything there due to the fact that the structures are on the 0 of the z-axis. If you want to upgrade things, all you need to do is elevate or drop your stuctures 3 inches by building them on the platform next to the res, or on the ramp into CC, or maint, etc.
