Changes to POBs

[Chenzo-]

50k stock of Robotic Hardware(minimum 12,500,000 cost)/Hull Panel's (minimum 12,500,000 cost)& 80k Reinforced Alloy(20,000,000 cost), 15k Shield fuel(35,000,000 cost)needing 245,000 space on a core 4 base will die after a 7 hour siege. That’s a minimum of 49 trips worth of cargo & a minimum 16.3 hours to do- 20 mins per 5k filling an unlawful base. (Based on the CR siege of the Auxo base)

All depends on how many Battleships are shooting it.

Under previous current/consumption rates, that Core 2 base(no idea how well it was supplied) took 16 hours to siege. A 2.5/3 hour siege would pop that Core 2base after these new ‘changes’ are impliemented.(assuming it has nothing but storage to hold these supplies)

All PoB’s will be much, much easier to kill & require a minimum of 3x more time to exist. That’s before you’ve used it for anything. That’s before you’ve earned the cash to buy the supplies in the first place. Most trade routes pay 60/110M a hour if you don’t get pirated.

Yet again, depends on how many BSs are shooting it.

Did you miss the second part of my OP?

2) Repair Rate has been increased from 2,000 per tick to 6,000 per tick. Bases will repair quicker

Hi,

I based my numbers off the siege I witnessed, the CR siege of the core 2 base.

Yes, I did take into account the heightened rate of which bases are fixed, but also the heightened consumption rate.

Like a sugar rush, the supplies load in to repair under siege but as 50k of Hull Panels(100k space), 50K Robotic Hardware and 80k of Reinforced alloy would be eaten very quickly to compensate for said load, the base would then be "empty" and as a result not repair at all. the end result being a core 4 base under new rules will pop in less than half the time a core 2 base would have under current rules whilst under seige.

Was there also any comment on the time is takes to supply an unlawful base under new rules? The time to earn the credits to even purchase said supplies? You can say that it's meant to be a team effort with things, but 7/8 days supply with a stock-up in case of siege taking over 16 hours, even with 32 players doing 30 mins each.(unfortunately doesn't split like this even if the whole server activity was to chip in time to a single base)

All that to be popped by 12 dreadnaughts in less than 7 hours? That totally ignores the millions of units, input time for vast levels of in game time and timestamped forum-posted RP required to get a base to that core level to begin with.

If this is the case, only DTR making up the vast majority of logged server time are able to run a PoB due to the sheer numbers required to do so, unless of course they have multiple people sinking a few hours a day as their entire play time purely to supply it.

Please correct me if this understanding is wrong. I'd really love to be wrong.
