Have one factory pump out all three unit types (one) and set it to repeat build.
You need the power to replace turrets as well as build the experimental units you will research in a bit. I sent a second engineer after my construction work was done to help with repairs.Īfter the ACU build the Mass Extractor, have it build a Research Station followed by a Land Factory, two generators, another Land Factory and two more generators. It will take a beating which is fine but you also want it to stay more or less operational so incoming ships attack it first. It is imperative that you make good use of chaining commands (holding the while you issue orders) to maximize the efficiency of your units.Īfter the initial positions are claimed, send your strike force just north of the barricade to intercept the first few waves and alleviate the stress on your north-west defensive position.
Then, with the latter engineer claim the position immediately south of the barricade. Meanwhile, send an engineer to to claim the two defensive positions on the middle-right hand ridge and one to build a Mass Extractor to the immediate right. Send your strike force left as well to claim the two technology caches (one immediately left, one with the claimable buildings) to get a good jump-start on research. Send an engineer to the top left to claim the buildings to the north. Immediately start building Mass Extractors with your ACU and move up left. You are given a small force as well as an ACU and four engineers.
Using this comparison image.*** Spoiler - click to reveal *** Complete the mission with the blockade having taken less than 25% damage. Or around that, a little over three times the height of the building in any case. So.ģ6 meters + 1.1 meters (the remaining distance) = 37.1 meters. Using the same pixel to meter ratio as before (19 pixels) the remaining height is 1.1 meters. Following the same procedure as last time, I am able to stack 20 doors on top of each other to match the height of the ACU, with the 21st being cut off. However, it will allow for a "good enough" measurement. This may not be entirely accurate: perspective and the position of the ACU making it difficult to get a precise measurement. With the ACU standing in the shot, though, I can use this to determine the height of the ACU. That means that a Mech Marine from SupCom 1 would stand just a little taller than the Long Range Artillery (being 11.7 meters tall from the source above the post I'm replying to.) And from the ACU standing off to the side, it also reveals that a SupCom 1 Mechmarine would stand up to the knee of the SupCom 2 UEF ACU (when it would come up to the ankle of the SupCom 1 UEF ACU.) So.ġ0.8 meters + 0.29 meters (the remaining distance) = 11.09 meters. Doing it this way, I am able to stack six heights of doors on top of each other, with the seventh on the top being cut off (the Antenna are not counted as part of the equation.) Using the ratio of pixels to meters (31 pixels = 1.8 meters,) and the number of pixels that remain (5) we can figure out the remaining height to be 0.29 meters. With the camera angle positioned in a way that is as close to of a head-on view as possible, I can then measure out the height of the door and measure it upwards and downwards. Yellow = Cut-off where the actual height is.
