Tried selected with transparency on?

Yes, of course.

edit: Declare.
Orbit:

The I.L.S Fleet is entirely engulfed in localized bullet time.


Planetside:


The bot clears out the upper part of the base and starts building a matter converter.
A small mining drone begins draining the oil.
The heavy turrets are packed up and placed in boxes for later installation.
Another Drone is being teleported in.

The Missile continues its path.

How to transparency
(This is Win 7 paint but it's pretty similar in the others)





Also you might as well remove me or something because I'm not really doing anything and every time I think "hmm I'd better declare" someone already has.
I joined too many matches at once :V

Anyone know how to do ^that^ on GIMP?

Or you could just do it in paint. Manly men do everything in MS Paint.

Yes. Under layers, transparency, set the background to the alpha channel.

Why Thankee.

How rare, nobody has declared.

Le declare.

The pod bursts apart in a flash of light, most of the pieces disintegrating in the explosion. The bottom of the pod is hurled into the broken rock, creating a relatively flat platform for the unit inside. As the glare of the explosion fades away, what appears to be a robot- to the unlearned observer, at least- can be seen standing where the pod was before it disintegrated. The robot is almost as tall as the pod was, and it seems much more lethal.

Unit 115, this is your support officer. How's that mobile mech working out for you?
This is Unit 115. Fine so far, though a little tight; I just wish I had had more time to get used to it.
Don't worry, soldier. The controls and capabilities are fairly intuitive. Since this is our first deployment of the Draconian model, we'll be running diagnostics whenever you get into a hostile encounter. If you get into a no-win situation, contact us immediately; depending on the state of the battle, we'll either send reinforcements to help you turn the tide, or, if the battle's clearly lost, we'll fire a tactical laser to obliterate the suit. We cannot risk having this technology falling into enemy hands. Get a move on.
Roger that. Over and out.

The Unit begins to move leftward, towards the battlefield.

Of course, the teleport beacon will wait for the action to clear up to deliver its cargo....

And herb will wait for a chance to inject his sprites.

Hope my new sprites are less ugly

The grey knight scout makes the hilarious mistake of lunging right the
gatling-gyro's rotor, they both go plummeting towards the lake and will crash into in about one or two turns depending on if your willing to move 'em or not.
meanwhile the soldier makes a one-in-a-million-shot-that-I-promise-won't-happen-again and hits the drones plasma shots, detonating them midflight and only schorching himself instead of gettin' kablooied.
the teleporter wasted the last of its juice calling in reinforcemnts including two technical units, one to mine for resources for teleporter fuel and another to build a (poorly sprited) base.

Does it matter if my units look like complete junk?
