Game Feature:
-Split Targeting ques, cant think of a better name for it. but simply put, take your attack force que up attack and move orders, then press Shift-G the orders are then rearranged and divided among the attacking units. Using this you can have your 10 bombers attack 5 targets at the same time, IE the 10 bombers will divide up and attack the 5 targets at once instead of all attacking 1st target then going to the next in que.

The Basilisk:
by Dotswarlock

General Hall walked inside the small hospital room and politely motioned for the monitoring staff to leave. He waited until they were gone before turning his attention to the patient: Captain Zenciky.

There was no need to look at his chart; Hall already knew that he was dying of radiation poisoning. He simply lay in the isolation room with the bed sheet clutched tightly to his chest while his entire body withered and died.

Hall hated to question a man during his last few moments, but this had been one of the greatest incidents since their victory over the Seraphim back on Earth. He stepped closer to the microphone and pressed the button: “Captain, I need you to tell me what happened to you and Crusader Diana. Please try to remember…”

-----

Two hours earlier…

Captain Zenciky looked at the images forwarded to him by Crusader Diana. The two of them had been deployed the moment that the colony of New Star had been obliterated. Their mission: to track down the rogue Cybran in a joint operation and capture him before the incident rolled out of control. To their surprise, it had not taken them long to find the enemy base. What they had not expected was to find it in ruins.

Diana’s face appeared on his monitor just then and nodded: “There was a conflict here. The base simply did not just self-destruct and yet I only detect signs of Cybran weaponry. There is something else; an analysis of the soil shows that it was destroyed before the attack on New Star.”

And yet the attack had originated from this location. There was only one logical reason to do something like that and Zenciky jumped up on his seat: “It’s a set up, pull back! Get out of there!”

The UEF Commander tried to open a channel towards HQ, but it was already too late. Their transmissions were blocked and there was only one thing with the technology to do that. Zenciky cursed as he took control of his units: “It’s QAI…”

A unit moved out of a small pond in the middle of the destroyed Cybran base as if on queue, its size immediately classifying it as a new experimental model. Zenciky could see it’s near organic movements through Diana’s sensors and he felt a cold chill run down his spine as its head turned and looked towards the view screen. There was something feral about it, as if its creator had managed to capture the very essence of the most vicious of predators.

Multiple weapon systems fired simultaneously, throwing missiles, lasers and plasma bursts that paralyzed and decimated Diana’s army. The experimental weapon raised its head and roared before bringing all of its weapons to bear on Diana. The ACU explosion lit up the sky a moment later, leaving Zenciky cursing as he sent a wave of Broadswords against it: “Let’s see how long you last against this!”

The image reappeared the moment that his Broadswords flew over the base and Zenciky’s eyes widened. The experimental weapon had dug in, deploying a different array of weapons including laser emitters that fried one Broadsword after the other. He did not have to wonder what the rest of its weaponry was for long as a hail of missiles suddenly collided with his base’s shields. They collapsed a moment later, opening a gap that let the following plasma burst through.

Zenciky had not had the luxury of upgrading his ACU with personal shields and immediately set a course towards his quantum gate. Plasma fires surrounded him as he walked and threat indicators flashed on his screen, indicating a near lethal build up in radiation. He just had to make it; he had to warn the others that QAI was still alive!

-----

Hall had asked the same questions over and over again, but Captain Zenciky did not even twitch. He was simply too far gone and he would probably die within the next hour from multiple organ failure. His ACU had not faired any better; its systems and sensors having melted up to a near critical point by the time that he had managed to gate out.

The General sighed and turned around. It was time to send the family in so that they could say their goodbyes. He only prayed that no other pilot would fall to this new, dreadful weapon.

Okay, not even a title.. but you're right tho.. it's a new topic..

you'll see

Why do you need to reserve a thread with no content?

Why do you even need to reserve a thread?

Is forum space at such a premium??? oh gawd I better start reserving now!! *runs*!

reserved before the lock

lol.

I expect big news within the next 10 minutes or else I will slay you with my pet dragon.

Edit: FINE. You will live for another day.

Edit: Is it AI compatible?

just to be clear

A. this is hawksmod v3. the name was changed to reflect the greater variety of team members that now contribute.

B. the balance all of individual units is not quite complete.

C. not all units have been bugtested in earnest.

so with that in mind, we look forward to hearing feedback from everyone about balance and bugs so we can release the completed version as soon as possible.

enjoy.

downloading as i type this, and is it reg AI compatible, or sorain AI compatable

Sweet... me gonna d/l'd and play now... and yeah, as others asked... what's the AI compatibility on this?

sorian's ai support

cool, thx

Edit: Ok, got one minor little thing, it's with the installer actually.... I have to tell it to install to the Gas Powered Games folder (I have to tell it where cause my install is not in the default location) as it automatically puts "Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance" at the end of whatever I select... thus if I selected the game folder it installs to "...\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance".

Just some nitpicking, for the Quantum thing, you got it half right. I have no idea what that first part means but the second part means Factory. Aezthu is most likely the word for "quantum" because it comes first in the Quantum Gate. So I believe the correct name would be Aezthu-Iya

Also, Thuum means powerful, so you don't want to spam it over everything

pics please?

Hah, just noticed the T3MAA in there, nifty, seraphim one seems to be missing, unless I'm just blind, or you left it out intentionally/just didn't mention it.

@isik: i dont speak seraphim soo... yeah tell that to Z32 hes the one who does XD

@Fury now i see what your talking about, my mistake, just change the 'C' to where ever it install ed and thats it

You! You!
are a fogt a motf..... GRRRRRRR
Releasing V3 when i am not prepared for, when i got so much work awaiting!
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu


do congratulation for finifhing the job and thanks...i will have to sleep next night..tonight im completly yours :O

Don't break the Forums, and watch your words.

Holy crap, I think engrish and l33tspeak just had dirty skanky sex and then likus comment was the illegitimate child.

ok so this is like V3 for halks mod?
*runs off to post the update on supcom files*

and is their going to be a non exe version cause I like to know what I am changing when I install a mod

Haasioz means, literally, anti-barrier.

Iya means 'maker' in a general sense.

the meaning for the rift gate was basically rift maker, or anti barrier maker.

i did add an aez in there (aez being the sera prefix for quantum) but hawk never changed the name and i ended up forgetting it.

Thuum means t3, or is generally used to describe t3 units.

ultimately it all comes down to interpretation, since there is no absolute rosetta stone for seraphim to english translation. thanks for trying tho

oh!! can I guess you got the quantum gate idea from my mod? (mine makesa T4 seraphim factory that builds air and land really fast) I like how it builds more units faster. and the arch is cool
