<div class="IPBDescription">Couldn't update to siege turret!</div> As a marine, I like to build siege turrets to help defend my bases against gorge defense tower/offense towers and their accompanying aliens. Enter my situation...knowing the marines will use defensive towers in Eclipse, I begin upgrading my main base turret factory to advanced. I have enough resources to do the same for my hive turret factory...BUT, for some reason, the command interface won't let me. The factory is at full health, and was NOT upgraded, and I COULD NOT build siege turrets. Needless to say, my marines had too sucky aim with their HMG's to do anything, and the lack of siege turrets allowed a gorge and a fade to obliterate my hive base.
And then, for some reason, when I tried to build a turret in the main base (clicked the little turret icon and all), I somehow dropped a turret factory. Must have been lag, or something.
...and when I complained about the command interface problems, everyone told me "to figure out how to use it" and "you suck," calling me a "real Napolean" and then booting me from the command station. Not that their constant deaths, inability to aim a gun, and general resent to do ANYTHING I asked them to do, had anything to do with it...
But I digress. I really, really hate it when I'm called a newbie and I'm not, and in reality it really IS the command GUI causing the problem and no fault of my own. Any idea why these problems would happen?

the commander had motion tracking upgraded, built some further buildings and then issues the statement "we lose, i can't upgrade anything"
"uhh huh?" someone suggests another commander try, but nobody else could upgrade anything either, no siege factories, no better armor, no better weapons, no ha or jetpacks...
it really sucked
