| Summary | 0009104: disable command center rebuild countdown when command center is replaced manually. | ||||
| Description | If I build a new command center, the rebuilding is stalled for five minutes, quite inconvienient. I like the stall mechanic, just don't have it trigger if the command center is switched out, or scrapped if doing so does. | ||||

The problem with any sort of cooldown "bypass" is that it would allow abuses to get past what this mechanic was put in place for in the first place. Like, just before the command station dies, you just scrap/replace the command station, and then you can rebuild once the "coast is clear" (or place the new command station far away from the attack, and using that to "kite" the AI units repeatedly). This may be able to be rectified by making it such that scrapping and replacing command stations will bypass the cooldown if there are no enemy military ships on the planet at the time of the scrapping/replacing. |

Or if the original command station is at full health. |

Thought about it a lot while implementing the rebuildable command stations thing, but there's no way to prevent it from being a case where remembering to manually replace/scrap before the AI gets to (insert some stage of assault here) is an important aspect to efficient play. So manual replacement is somewhat more annoying than it used to be, but it's a lot better than having to send out a fresh colony ship every time. |
