There was no way to know who had requested 1:1 or which player(s) wanted to increase the speed. I think that some way to:

1) tell a player that he is the slowest and
2) what speed the other players are requesting

would be very useful.

Or maybe something along these lines, the USS Scorpion goes hot.

A great suggestion! I'll be sure to keep this in mind when it comes time for implementation.

You says : "you will take command of NATO and Soviet battlegroups, airbases, submarines and land installations"

NATO, all nations ? All naval/air units ?

COOP Multiplayer would be good against AI or against other Humies.

Also hope the Australian Navy is there along with New Zealand, since we operated the same class of ships for the most part.

The Invincible-class carrier was a very surprisingly even match for a Kiev-class...

Will this game feature some kind of mission editor, database editor like jane fleet command so player might later add more units, create custom scenario ?
