And it's already time for our final Contact Starter (ahead of Arma 3 Contact's release): What is your favorite movie, TV series, and/or book involving alien life? Let us know your recommendations - here, and/or on Facebook, Twitter, and reddit!

Why have we not yet made First Contact with alien life? Where is everybody? Share your theory in this thread - or join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter, and/or reddit!

This week's Contact Starter poses a big question: How would a First Contact event change our current world order? You can also join the discussion on our other channels: Facebook, Twitter, and reddit.

Let's begin the new week with another Contact Starter: Do you think that humanity should try to make or avoid First Contact? Why yes/why not? As always you're also welcome to join this conversation on Facebook, Twitter, and reddit!

Hi everyone, here's the Contact Starter for this week: What do you think is more likely to happen: us finding aliens, or aliens finding us? Let us know your answer plus motivation in this thread - or, if you want, you are also welcome to participate in the discussion on Twitter, Facebook, and reddit!

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts so far! Here's the next Contact Starter: What would be the most likely motivation for intelligent extraterrestrial life to visit Earth? We're curious to hear your theories and ideas!

Hi everyone, over the next few weeks we’ll be inviting you to participate in conversations related to Arma 3 Contact’s “what if we suddenly encounter extraterrestrial intelligence” premise. Our first Contact Starter: In the event of First Contact, who do you think would make for Earth's best ambassador, and why? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in this thread!

Indeed, all further development of Arma 3 Units has been put on hold as our web developers now have other priorities. When we first started to work on Arma 3 Units, we knew beforehand that it was going to a challenge to fit into our schedules, which is why we planned to build it in three steps: step 1 (priority: must) - be able to create a unit profile page, step 2 (priority: should) - be able to have members via Bohemia Accounts and some modest in-game integration, step 3 (priority: could) - more elaborate features like being able to plan events. Although we managed to implement step 2, it unfortunately seems unlikely that step 3 will happen. Nevertheless, what started as a somewhat experimental side project really became popular beyond our expectations, and so I think we'd all wish to see such a platform be part of our future games. All in all, I'd say that Arma 3 Units is still a very useful way to more easily form or find a group with all of the base functionality being present. It might never leave 'beta', but we want to make sure it remains functional in the foreseeable future.

The three operations will be listed under 'Campaigns' in the Main Menu, but we felt that referring to Beyond Hope, Stepping Stone, and Steel Pegasus as campaigns would lead to expectations that they are of similar scope/length as e.g. "The East Wind" campaign. Hence 'military operation' seemed like a more appropriate description, and I think it's also a more accurate word for what you'll be playing . Plus, hopefully it helps convey that you'll be fighting as one of several armed forces participating in a large-scale military operation. Nevertheless, we're indeed introducing a new word for something, and I can understand the confusion.

It's seven scenarios across three military operations (plus you can indeed replay some of the scenarios from different perspectives).

Can you please send me or BohemiaBeck a DM with the details of your unit so we can investigate?

Hi there, unfortunately we've had to built in a limit in unit size as it is otherwise causing the website's layout and performance. This was an oversight from when we originally built the system as we didn't expect there would be units with this many members. You will indeed see a few units that still have more members because they reached this member count before we implemented the size restriction. In any case, we realize that there are some edge cases where people would want to have more members than we currently allow, but unfortunately this is currently not something we can support. Apologies for the inconvenience! We'll look into the issue with searching people in the unit. That doesn't seem like the way it should work. Thanks for reporting! Hi there, what do you have in mind? I've reported it to our web development team!

Our web developer will be looking into the issues with admin rights as soon as possible. We'll report back when we have uncovered the issue or need more information. Apologies for the inconvenience!

I'm not sure if this will solve it, but it sounds like there might have been an issue converting your image to a file format that is supported in the game. As a potential quick fix, can you rename your unit icon image file and re-upload it to the Units website? Let's see if that does anything. Apologies for the inconvenience!
