ROBOTIC HARDWARE?!?!?!?!?!?
are you serious, afaik it was (for c4) 2.3k fow and 8.6 RA per 24/h - but no RH!
are you sure about this, or is this just a bug and hopefully not a feature.

POBs 'eat' Repair Materials (RM) in this order:
Reinforced Alloy (RA)
Robotic Hardware (RH)
Hull Segments (HS)
At each Repair Tick (RT) the Base checks if it is damaged. If it is, it uses 2 RA to repair. If it is still damaged it uses 2 RH and on to HS if it is still damaged.
It goes through this cycle x the Core Level of the POB. Therefore a Core 4 Base, if it is heavily damaged, can repair 12 times in one RT. If one RM is missing, then it would repair 8 times/RT.
A RT happens every 20 seconds.
Recently the amount a RM repairs was reduced from 60k hps to 2k hps, but the Bases hps were increase by a factor of 50 (ie a Core 1 Base went from 4 million hps to 200 million hps). This is why a newly POB takes approx 15-45 days to go from the newly placed POB to full health (15 days if all 3 RTs are supplied to 45 days if only one is supplied).
Now, a Wear & Tear (W&T) Tick happens every 120 secs.
This means that the damage, taken by a POB, from W&T will require 1440 RA per day.
I have noticed that a Core 4 POB takes enough damage per W&T Tick, that it requires 2 x the RMs to repair. Therefore if you have all 3 RMs on the Base it will use 1440 RA and 1440 RH per day. If you have only RA on the Base, it will use 2880 RA/day.
As for FOW, they are consumed twice per day (every 12 hours) and therefore a Core 4 POB will consume 1600 each of FOW per day.
Hopefully this has answered your question.

On another note, is the range ban thing fixed then?
It only benefitted POBs built prior to this announcement. I would say it is absolutely unfair to give free pass to older POBs while new ones had to supply it normally.
