    Interesting, looks like it may be a typo though, 'cos it stil says " The commander can select the turret factory to see this range " <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think this is how it was from the begining, but it was changed in a server update.

    Ye, looks like you've found some old screenies there.

    Yes, that's old. Before the days when comms would find the tightest corner possible to cram a TF into, to avoid blind spots.

    my understanding of tfacs in beta 2 is that they are just as useful WITHOUT turrets! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    1.0 turret farms were a nightmare...completely automated turrets as far as the eye could see..not easy to shift.

    You misunderstood then <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In the earlier versions, the electified tf had a giant range, allowing it to cover all the marine base structures if you packed them together. Now it only affects you if you're in range to bite the tf. So you need turrents.

    those are old screenies

    a fwe clues you may have picked up on

    1 the tooltips - has already been mentioned

    2 the "commander" display. in 2.0, it says "comm", not "commander" - part of flayra's attempt to make the commander name more evident

    3 the upgrade icons. in the 1.0 beta tests, the icons got put ontop of each other, in the final version, and 2.0, they get replaced

    4 that look like one of the early versions of Eclipse. the 2.0 one is much better, with raised platforms each side

    The confusion lies in the fact that this screenshot is over 1 year old :o

    That screen is old. And I'm surprised none of you mentioned, or perhaps you all forgot, that it was the screen shown during NS 1.0 installation! Compare for yourself!
