Like Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin are developing. In 2030, they will be real.

And more countries would be fun. =P

Yeah that thing could shoot incoming missiles even targetting aircrafts. A Boeing 737 equipped with that kind of laser could also target warships or a formation of strategic bombers or an AWACS flight.

In some screenshots of the game, we can see a different Main menu. Including a encyclopedia and different options.
Why they are not in the real game?

The mock-ups of the front page design were made a long time ago and put in there as placeholders in the beta.

The encyclopedia would be good.

Yiippee! I just have one request. Allow us to add % chance a unit might show up to add variability to a mission. So we can set a sub to 25% or 75% it will be in the scenario. An "area spawn" would be awesome too. Drag a square around an area and the sub could be anywhere wiithin the square.

**JanH** · 25-04-2012 09:55

Jpinard,

We do have variability in position already; will start using it more in future scenario building. Have a percent chance of occurring is a good idea, though with the power of single units it means pure luck to a significant degree determines the difficulty of the mission. But it's a good option to have.

PS: We also have a suggestions subforum where such suggestions have an easier time not getting lost in traffic

I really can't wait for this. I've been dreaming up scenarios these past few days that will kill either my eyes or my computer, whichever first.

Just wondering, will it be possible to chose which side a unit is on, instead of just NATO v Russia? Would be fun to do a Europe v USA type scenario.

Having configurable factions would expand the awesomeness of the editor!

You can call the fractions what you want, but the sides are unfortunately hardcoded into the GUI. We'll change that; we'll see when.

**TankGun** · 26-04-2012 21:43

Same, been thinking up ideas, sense before the game was even released and can't wait to start making them ^_^

Thanks again dev team for bringing us a great feature for the game

**General Baker** · 07-05-2012 12:24

Any updates?

Know when we might see it rolled out, roughly?

**JanH** · 07-05-2012 13:24

We have a few more lose ends to confirm, then we'll let you know.

**TankGun** · 09-05-2012 16:16

Yay, can't wait

**Scorcher24** · 11-05-2012 14:49

Awesome News

How long to wait for release of the editor??
I have all the missions in company with my eyes closed I can finish ...

**smackz** · 26-05-2012 14:57

so any updates?

**rosseau** · 26-05-2012 21:27

Based on another thread here, it sounds like they are working on MP - I'd rather have the editor too, but MP is key to expand interest I would think.

Oops, I was thinking about Arcania. My error. Sorry
