Much as I love this game, I feel that Colony could use some revamping to make the game funner. If you feel the same way, post here!

BTW, please don't include "get rid of the hackers/glitchers!" We all know that hacking is stupid. This is for gameplay issues ONLY.

Here is a list of possible suggestions:

Units:

Marines: Better attack and hp
Chronite Tank: Faster attack rate, speed
Sniper: Better anti-air
Black Queens: Faster ground missile repeat rate, weaker damage
Sakata MK-II: Improve repeat rate, decrease health
Sakata Spiders (Mod Sakata included): Increase HP as to be able to survive one missile
Sphinx: Remove from game. Crappy unit. Replace with something else
Other: It seems to me that whenever I play Dogfight mode it becomes a battle of Scouts. While that's nice and simple, I think there might need to be another air-to-air unit.

Gameplay

Influence: In general, influence is never gained easily, besides by the Communists and Monarchy governments. Perhaps a slight increase is needed.
Governments: The Communists gain too little energy, the Fascists gain too little supply, the Capitalists gain so much money between waves it's not even funny, and the Monarchy is too FRIGGING SLOW TO BUILD THINGS. Yes, the government system is nice, but also a little too unbalanced.

Feel free to write your own suggestions below.

I think an upgrade system in general would be nice, so one could add extra damage or special powers to certain units.

Solution to lag: Put game on Kong.(Update I mean.)
Solution to glitches: Kill all those newbs. (Or krin fixes it without just making more possibilities for glitchers(Which is what happened after his last update :'(.)
I can't stress enough how good it would be to have different sized maps with new backgrounds and such:L
& I think that the right side's damage bonus should be fixed.

It still does, but not for every unit I think. It's mostly with chronite tanks. That's why I don't like EQ anymore D:

Random gametype would be badass where you join the game but when it starts it randomly chooses a gametype and mixes up the teams randomly. So you wont know what gametype it is when playing the game and have to figure out midgame type of thing. Teams are random (or not) undecided about that.

Youll still be able to choose government tho.

i think there should be more buildings, units, map sizes, and recource types
the game would have endless strats
then it would be epic
