These changes were promised for update 6, but unfortunately due to various technical difficulties they had to be postponed. After beating the plugin with a large stick for about a week, the changes are finally ready thanks to our resident FLHooker, Kazinsal, and are being implemented server-side.
Details of the new POB plugin update is as follows:
Shield protection ratio is reduced to 97% (previously 99%)
Wear & tear damage reduced to 300 per minute per core (previously 600)
Factory construction requirements reasonably reduced.
Construction speed for shield module increased.
This basically means bases will be easier to build, easier to maintain, but also easier to siege and destroy. The actual cost of the upkeep and upgrade is also considerably reduced by these changes and to compensate for the vulnerability core 1 bases will receive with the new shield protection rate, construction of the module itself is made twice as fast.
Feel free to use this thread for any possible feedback, but in case of any possible bugs, please use the appropriate bug report thread.
[*]Wear & tear damage reduced to 300 per minute per core (previously 600)
Maybe I am missing something within the Post. Up to the start of this change the Bases 'ticked' every 20 seconds. My understanding of this was that every 20 seconds the base 'checked' for damage. If the Base wasn't under attack then it repaired the 'wear and tear damage' which used 2 Reinforced Alloy every 20 seconds which equates to 8648 RA used every 24 hours.
The question that springs to mind is, how does reducing the 'wear and tear' from 600 per minute to 300 per minute reduce the required commodities if the Bases still 'tick' every 20 seconds?
I would like, please, a clarification on how this a) reduces usage of Repair Commodities b) makes them easier to maintain c) reduces the actual cost of upkeep.
I would assume that every 20 second tick =/= 300 damage.
Rather it's 100 damage per 20 second tick which would add to 300 damage per min.
Whereas before it would be 600 damage per min or 200 damage per 20 second tick.
Less damage (600 to 300 per min) means less Ra is used in repairing wear and tear damage
This would then mean half of the RA that was needed is now needed, so 8460 a day to 4230. Thus it is easier to maintain and reduces how much is needed to pay for Ra.
