ACU Speed Bug

I didn't first notice this bug and I forget who did, so whatever. But it wasn't me.
However, since becoming aware of it, I see it in a lot of games. If affects aeon and cybran ACUs. Aeon has +25% speed upgrade and Cybran has +50%.
In my tests, the bug is really easy to replicate. Just construct a structure. In my tests, I used the Aeon ACU to construct a pgen. The bug only seemed to take effect if I allowed the ACU to complete the structure. Ordering the ACU to abandon a half-built pgen seemed to retain the speed bonus.
25% isn't much of a buff, so to eliminate the limitations of human perception, I always raced the ACU against an engineer. Before the ugprade, the ACU is clearly slower. After, the ACU is clearly faster (2.8 without buff 3.5 with buff, engineer is 3.0).
It is widely know that the Cybran ACU can get re-buffed after using jump jets. Aeon teleport does not give the aeon ACU the buff back. Only escape podding + rebuilding the ACU can get the buff back.

Hopefully, Sorian, this will help you pin down and fix the bug. TY.|||Hey, thank you.|||Yeah, sorian. Get on it, sorian.
Does this guy even get weekends? We probably work him harder than CT does.|||I wonder if SupCom2 On his work pc is still alot better than the one on his home computer :wink:
@Z32: if GPG is working on Balance, were probably working eric much more.
Thanks for everything sorian :)|||redmoth|||Nephylim|||FunkOff|||And maybe a nerf to shotjas|||We should probably just make one big thread and simultaneously address every 'issue' the community percieves to balance (all the UP or useless units, as well as the OP ones). Have people discuss the problems while whoever made the threads keeps the list updated in case people begin to agree that Unit X isn't really broken, or Unit Y is actually really broken and was overlooked until now.|||redmoth|||OH BOY, I SURE CAN'T WAIT FOR YET ANOTHER BALANCE THREAD|||Z32|||Quote:|||Nephylim|||Z32|||Except you suck at it.|||Z32|||Z32|||But you suck at balancing too neph.|||Im sorry that I forgot to give AC1000s 50K health and forgot to make air forts available straight away.|||Nope, but instead you were like "HURRR UEF OP NERF NERF NERF EVERYTHING" and "DURR CYBRAN UP BUFF BUFF BUFF EVERYTHING" and then "DARRHARRR GAYEON ISN'T GAY ENOUGH GAY IT UP PLZ" all with the same reason of "LOL I THINK THIS OP AND THAT UP".
Even a drunk monkey could make a better balance mod.|||Cygnaus|||Cygnaus|||Nephylim|||I did think a lot about my changes. So what early versions were crap? I fixed a lot of stuff in them, and it has become better since. Lots of number crunching HAS been done, I have a few excel files on this. Please dont say im doing it wrong if you didnt play it.
