So, the PT list can be pretty cluttered, and I'm sure there's mods that don't want to resort to using arrows or the extras list.

So I got a small idea- How about making an increased PT limit, and anything that goes past the current size, is like a second page? Or have a scroll wheel of sorts.

Maybe not an ENTIRELY necessary thing to do, but it's always nice not having limits on how many units you can have. And yes, I know you can have the "skins arrows", but it seems odd having it as the same PT icon list as a completely different unit.

That might be a good idea if you wanted to buy a unit really quick, but it would be easier to know which class is which by using different section like: Vehicles, Aircraft, Light Infantry, Medium Infantry, Heavy Infantry. You may not like this idea, but it's just a suggestion. Thumbs Up

Yeah, if you want to spam up the screen. It doesn't have to be divided into that many sub-catagories. Infantry, Vehciles, and Air should do it.

I say a personal fanning of the genitals would be awesome.

I'm just saying. Mostly because there is going to be a LOT more infantry in Reborn than Renegade. Thumbs Up

It would hardly clutter it up, assuming that post was directed at me. Just a scroll down list for the existing things. Infantry and vehicles are all that's needed. MAYBE air. But c'mon, there's like 3 air units maximum in most mods as it is, and only 2 in normal Renegade. A simple scrolling function would do just fine.

Theres only 2 released mods :V
Think about flying units in AR, harrier, chinook, etc etc, and there will be many in BFD. SCUD Storm will, upon next *proper* release, feature MANY air units.

Explain how I'm a moron through a carefully worded, minimum 5 paragraph essay, and I may listen. Otherwise, get out.

i thought there was going to be a lot of air units in Reborn... Sarcasm Whatever. As long as the units are easy and accessible to get to.

Methinks he meant total conversions. In which case, well, 2 of 'em that are still in production and atleast semi-decent.
