Gaalsien - Coaltion Assault Cruiser (?) - [Campaign Units Used In Multiplayer]
The Gaalsien deserve to have this unit in the multiplayer experience, If that's not the case though then why don't the Gaalsien have access to turrets/turret controllers, radars, (radar scrambler for stealth?) I feel like they've been dealt the short straw in Multiplayer design, It just feels weird mixing the units in Multiplayer, and the Gaalsien are severely lacking in the tank/armour department.

If the Gaalsien are built for raiding/fast/stealth (they remind me of The Broherhood of NOD/Vaygr) I feel stealth/desert radar scrambling technologies would make sense so the map doesn't warn the opposition when your approaching.

All I'm asking is why do the Coalition get special units from the Campaign but not the Gaalsien?

(I personally love the Game I just wish we could use more.)

Honorguard is squishy but then it is faster and has a great range.

yeah that's the thing with Gaalsien there so fast and stuff but all there best units are long range, so what do you do to close the gap, I mean I guess the assault railguns mixed with normal armour.

I was wondering about this actually, why do they have a Gaalsien themed unit? It looks like Gaalsien both with regards to the paint scheme, and tech and so forth. It seems like a mistake to be honest, it should be moved to the Gaalsien.

It's aquired from the campaign as they learn some of the Gaalsien tech BUT that should STAY in the campeign, the Gaalsien need some thing cool and tanky and that's exactly it.

Yeah, imo it should stay in the campaign.

just saying, why can't they have like one tanky vehichle jeez, the current maps are not that big to make surprise raids and attacks easy, there needs to be a massive simple desert map at night or some thing but yeah if the Coalition can pinch Gaalsien tech, why can't the Gaalsien have a good front vehicle.. the Honorguard is so squishy, and why can't the Gaalsien have the ability to place turrets or radar scramblers or some thing? like they do in the Campaign.

I agree with both these points. The Gaalsien need the Zenith Assault Carrier taken from the Coalition, the Coalition should not have this and should stay in campaign. Also to make the Gaalsien baserunner more of a better unit would to be to able to have it put down radar scramblers or have it intalled within the unit so it can travel with others, and they have a certain field range to hide what units they have there or something, instead of it having turrets.

Even if the Coalition gets the tech in the campaign AND gets to keep it in the multiplayer - the Gaalsien should have it too. It doesn't make any sense that the Coalition has Gaalsien units, but the Gaalsien don't have it.

I'm happy loads of people agree, It annoys me seeing Coalition use Gaalsian units, it's like Gondor using some turned good Uruk and then painting them a more happy colour.

Maybe for a trade coalition assault cruiser we can gave coalition baserunner mines or other abilities that was in Campaign.

yeah let's hope a MOD comes along that gives us everything the factions use in the Campaign, this is my frustration with why Coalition are the only ones that get anything from the Campaign.

I finally find someone who shares that opinion. I was quite disappointed that they basically cut out research and re-engineered a lot of the units for the multiplayer. I found that it took a bit of fun out of the experience.

Soo... the Gaalsien can't build a Gaalsien-made unit. Brilliant

Well It's Coalition technology fused together with Gaalsien (Aquired in the Campaign) but for some reason the Coalition are allowed to use fast Gaalsien technology (even though that's supposed to be the Gaalsians upper hand.) inside the ranked multiplayer experience I just think it's a weird design choice is all.

Maybe it wasn't supposed to be included in the multiplayer?

Whats also wierd is that a lot of the game trailers show the Gaalsien using formations of assault cruisers in the campaign. The thing also doesnt show up in the expedition guide at all.
