For fight one:
Well, it's a non-argument since #948 has won by default. That said, I am personally not a fan of it.
For fight two:
For a start, I think that the first issue should definitely have been broken up into several smaller ones - the issue as its stands is too umbrella-like in its requests, asking very much all at once. Personally, I'm not a major fan of RA3, so a lot of these logics have little appeal to me. Many of them can also be worked around in some way in YR and with the current Ares options, some are merely more colourful ways of expressing bugs in the YR engine (such as turrets not disguising with tank bodies), whereas some are just things that I think would probably be a major pain to implement for all of the little gain it'll result in.
The second issue, on the other hand, is a much simpler request that actually makes a lot of sense. Why shouldn't a more powerful psychic be able to control a unit better than its subordinates? A use for this could be with units that are currently immune to psionics. Sure, a Yuri Clone or Psi Commando may not have the brainpower to take them over, but what's to stop a Yuri Prime, the mastermind of the entire psychic army, who can already take over buildings with a single bound, from mind controlling a small dog? It could also lead to the interesting scenario where a Yuri Prime could out-psychic an enemy Yuri Clone, and end up mind controlling it.
So, overall I think issue #729 is too large and convoluted to be considered for implementation as a whole, whereas issue #978 could provide some simple and straightforward improvements. Therefore, my stance is support #978, kill #729.
