Post anything you want that has to do with chex quest. Problems, suggestions, units, or just talk about how cool or suckish it plainly is.
This is the faction vid for entertainment purposes, enjoy [this vid will be placed for all faction threads]

Have Flem Meteor drop a potion... Preferably the blue one. Right now it drops nothing and I think it should be dropping something, as a reward of killing all that it spawned.

Well, it's a Special Ability, rather than a monster proper. I just don't feel that it should drop anything. It's both a risk of a complete investment loss for the owner (i.e., an unsuccessful deployment that results in the meteor doing very little), as well as furthering its purpose as the avatar of utter suffering and evil.
Basically, it's treated as a Special Ability rather than a monster as far as development is concerned, meaning I just work with it differently than I would, say, a Pain Elemental. You'll notice that the Meteor has not limit to how much it spawns, is defenseless, nearly immobile, etc. There shouldn't be a reward for killing it, since it is essentially required once one is deployed skillfully.
And repair drones don't drop anything, either.

I hate when the flem meteor moves into the invasion, sure it moves slow, but it gets there, and when it does... sucks big time; LET'S THROW AWAY A LARGE SUM OF MANA! WOO!

Well, if you put it somewhere where it wouldn't have a long time, then that's your fault. The fact that it advances adds a risk to its deployment. You have to place it in a way that ensures that it is useful.
And really, it isn't that expensive, considering.

Chex has no blue units/retrofits. The flemoid spores don't really count. Chex is also lacking a sniper unit. Perhaps add in a Quadrumpus sniper retrofit/unit?

Chex already has 3 upgrades much like all the factions. They do not need anymore.

I think a 4th upgrade for each faction would be cool to have at some point in the future, though. A retrofit for classes that have more permanents, and a permanent for for the ones that have more retrofits. A 2nd special ability, at some point even farther in the future, as well. I mean, I'm happy with what we've got now, but having more would be nice too.

Spawned flemoids often attack their own men. And a sniper would be just what Chex needs to compete. They are severely UP.

You're probably playing against bad players then. All I can say is that they lack a good long range sniper unit and I think it would really help them.

What, Cq easily takes over with a large army, and can summon alot of shit while keeping its mana up high. Maximi also snipe well, and the class is pretty powerful if you tell me.

Maximi aren't bad but they aren't snipers either. Not like a Sniper Templar or Rail Revenant.

Why would Chex need a sniper unit in the first place if they have a stronger emphasis in melee and in numbers. Sure chex does not have a sniper unit but look at heretic and hexen, they do fine without snipers. You must not know how to play chex.

No need to attack me personally, Thetis. I'm trying to have a good discussion here. I don't play them a lot, but a good friend of mine does and the lack of a good long ranged attack for Chex is kind of a problem. Chex is underpowered, IMO.
