Can you now have unit trees in the drop down interfaces?
e.g. the Hadean Xenomator would have '' Hedoux '' which would the drop down to the two types of hedoux available to the Xeno - Hedoux LS and Hedoux SGS.
At which point could you hold down shift and make one hedoux Ls and one Hedoux SGS in a single group?
Wasnt the Hedoux/Hedoux SGS upgrading system just a hack so that Hadeans can work in 1.2?
I think its better off to change FE instead.
Yes, the "Unit Trees" work for all Production units, but IMO they're klunky in MP. I've been working with them for the Olympians and even kept to a minimum they're easy to fumble in the heat of battle.
I suppose once you get used to what's where a good Commander wouldn't have any trouble, but I'm not a good Commander so I can't say for sure.

It was decided that the hadeans not being able to modify their units with an 'interface' was a race-specific thing that would remain, even though it was known (e.g. uller) how to make it work.
However, atm each different type of unit takes up one of the 10 number slots, i was hoping this could be changed.
Oh, I see what you mean...
That's governed by the 'baseName' entry. To have upgraded and non-upgraded units able to mix in the same F-slot just requires them to have the same baseName. That's entirely up to the FE team to do, it's just an ODF thing.
I thought you were talking about the actual Factory setup.

I was.
The Hadean factory does not have a 'interface panal' which you can log on to to change the weapon loadouts as you see fit. Instead it has this list of units
Xenomator
.(1)Locust
.(2)Zues mc
.(3)Xares
.(4)Xares sgs
.(5)Hedoux Ls
.(6)Hedoux sgs
.(7)Atlas
Mega Xenomator (the upgraded version)
.(1)Locust
.(2)Xares sgs
.(3)Xares fs
.(4)Zues sks
.(5)Zues mwf
.(6)Hedoux
.(7)Hedoux FBS
.(8)Xerrakis
.(9)Atlas
.(0)Kranhous
===================
What i want to see is drop-down menues that go somethinglike this

No, not at all. The unique customisation methods of hadeans are one of their forms of individuality, one of the things that makes them different from just being another ISDF. I'd much prefer it was kept the way it's always been with hadeans, it gives them character.
OK, well, yes, you can do that. That's what I originally thought you meant... should've stuck with my first instinct.
You can do exactly that, and even have sub-sub menus. I've found it hard to use under pressure, though and when you make a mistake hitting TAB shuts down the whole tree rather than backing up one level.
