Changes to POBs

[St.Denis]

The 6x more requirements to keep them alive sucks balls to the tenth degree- why not just leave the consumption rates as they are. Double if really necessary. But 6x? That’s ridiculous. Double or similar would also compensate for the bases not eating the 2nd or 3rd repair commodities under wear and tear.

If you look at it closely, you will see that Core 1 and Core 2 Bases will be affected the most ie 6 times more RA needed to account for W&T. But the bonus side of it is that they will repair 3 times faster. So those 15 days of hauling 8640 RA, 8640 RH and 8640 HS per day, to achieve a fully healed Core 1, has been reduced to 5 days + the W&T materials.

Core 3 & 4 will effectively will only need 3 times more commodities per day ie instead of 1440 RA + 1440 RH per day (total 2880) they will need 8640 RA instead.

Let me Give you a Example. We Have 2 Tier 2 PoBs in OS&C Property. We supply them ususaly once or twice a Month with 20k of FOW and Hull Plates Each. With a Increase In FOW and HP consumptions like this we would now be Forced to Supply the Base every 2 Days. I understand that you want to Get Rid of Old Not Supplyed PoBs and thats Fine, but a Increase in Upkeep will only Make POBs more Unatractive for Pepole. We Usualy need 3 to 4 Hours to stock our POBs, and it works fine if we do it once or two times a Month. But i dont think that Orbitals Members have Time to Refill the POBs every 2 days.

Not actually correct, as your Bases FOW requirements haven't changed.
Now I don't recollect where your other Base is, but I know quite well that your Base in IDF is almost on top the Planet, so as it consumes 800 each of FOW per day, it would literally take you, at the most, about 2 minutes to supply. That you decide to supply it with HS and not RA takes a bit of time as HS takes twice the space.
