My real dad and his girlfriend are really cool though :3

Chicken alfredo was really tasty. Monster (first time trying one) was good but nothing special. Pie was alright.

A lot of games just have your character do this with an animation but I think it's really immersive when you need to use your cursor to do it. Examples include Deliver Us The Moon and SOMA (respectively).

I haven't played NO for that long, but I've noticed a few things in regards to naval combat. Players often command ships to hug coastlines to maximize their AA coverage over the battlefield. There are surprisingly few dedicated anti-ship weapons and platforms, with other ships and aircraft being multi-role platforms and there only being two dedicated anti-ship missiles. Ground units have many anti-air weapons but no anti-ship weapons at all, unless you count nuclear Piledrivers.

Yet in real world conflicts (Ukraine, Iran), ships tend to stay away from the line of battle and away from coastlines to avoid attacks from multiple dedicated anti-ship platforms. Introducing some of these platforms would not only add more variety to the game, but also punish teams who do not deal with them soon enough, and reward teams who do by allowing them to station ships closer to the battle, where they can have a larger impact.

One of the platforms could be coastal fast-attack ships. While they would not do well in the open water, they would excel when sailing near coastlines and around islands, attacking ships that come too close. They could take the form of small corvettes, smaller than the Shard, armed with short-to-medium range anti-ship missiles, along with dual-purpose and anti-air guns. Examples would be the North Korean Nongo-class and German Gepard-class fast attack boats pictured above. They could also take the form of even smaller speed boats with no guns and fewer, shorter-range anti-ship missiles, like the Iranian Peykaap-class. They would be difficult to detect, not only due to their smaller size but also because ships like these were/are often built with wood or fiberglass.

Another platform could be ground-based anti-ship missile launchers. They could fire anti-ship cruise missiles, similar to ground-based Harpoon launchers or the Russian Rubezh system. They could also fire anti-ship ballistic missiles, like the Iranian Khalij-Fars or the Chinese DF-21/26. For the sake of balance the missiles they fire would be less like Piledrivers and more like Tuskos with a steeper trajectory.

What do you think? Would they be balanced? What other platforms or weapons could be added? Does the game even need them?
