Lotta cool stuff especially regarding the ability for xenos to actually counter CAS in some way. Can’t wait to see it in action

As a years long CAS player, this is one of the coolest additions I’ve seen. I feel setting this balancing precedent only sets us up for better updates down the line that makes CAS more counterable for xenos, while also adding some features and utilities that CAS players have always dreamt of. This is gonna make things more fun for both sides, and allows both sides to feel more in control and powerful.

Man, I hope this gets merged.

Yeah for sure, CAS has been relatively overtuned so the nerfs in this PR + the ridiculous amount of new fun toys and features for CAS definitely feel like a good step in the right direction- No power creep (so easier to add new cool stuff_, just a PR that’s… well, more features, more fun for both sides involved! Seriously, this PR is so unbelievably sexy- It’s literally what we were promised half a decade ago. Xenos finally being able to contest the skies in the open, thus reducing cavehugging tendencies? Fuck yeah.

CAS and xenos both feel like they just can’t do anything sometimes, and this paves the way for both to become more powerful in a way that still feels balanced. Both get more features, CAS can get fun new tools and weapons while xenos get more counterplay, and at the end everyone will be happier.

Also, this is gonna help make add a higher skill ceiling for CAS, which is very welcome. I feel that a very experienced CAS player could be a good bit more powerful than they could be at the moment at the end of this road, but that’s the price you have to pay if you wanna add a skill curve to something while keeping it feeling worthwhile.

As a filthy xeno main, having counters to the gunship aside from ‘hide in caves’ will be amazing. It will feel a lot less disjointed now that the CAS is something the xenos can address directly rather than just have to treat as an unbeatable entity.

Stale is a nothingburger for a PR of this size imo, dude is probably crushing 92624 merge conflicts and errors while working his day job
