Changes to POBs

[Chenzo-]

As of the next Server restart, the following changes will happen:

1) Wear and Tear (W&T) tick has been increased from 1 per 120 seconds to 1 per 20 seconds. This will have the effect that Bases will use 8,640 RA (or another Repair Material) per day (currently 1,440 RA per day).
Other effect is that Bases will now degrade 6 times faster. So instead of 'hanging' around for 460+ days, this will be reduced to @76 days.

2) Repair Rate has been increased from 2,000 per tick to 6,000 per tick. Bases will repair quicker and Core 3 & 4s will no longer use a second RM (or double if only one is available) at each W&T tick.

3) If your Base has less Crew than is required by the Core Level, then the W&T rate will be doubled. This will have the effect of further reducing the time non-maintained POBs 'hang' around.


EDIT: It has been decided that Points 1 & 2 will go live in 2 weeks time (12th of April) and Point 3 will go live tomorrow as that won't affect those people who 'care' for there Bases.

I'm obviously an idiot, so can I ask for a little more clearer of an explanation, just to be sure:


Point Two: states repair rate is increased? Awesome, bases are harder to be sieged/popped. Also will only eat one unit of RA per tick if no damage is taken from players, otherwise will use all three repair items to try and counter dealt damage by players- Makes sense. Correct if wrong please.

So that means if not attacked, RH and SP will sit there untouched and the base will only ever eat RA's right?

Point Three: states bases without the correct amount of crew will die much faster, fair game.
