Changes to POBs

[Chenzo-]

Lots of things.

Sieging of Bases hasn't really changed over the years.

It has always been that the more BSs you use to siege, the quicker it goes down. This is why people have woken up in the morning to find their Base no longer exists.

If you care to read Haste's Post: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2288357
You will see that he mentions that the siege mechanics will be looked in to. Whether anything comes of it, only time will tell.

As for your example of stored supplies on a Core 2 Base, I do question why you want to store so much on it.

PLUS the daily: 8700 something?(doesn’t go up in core levels, same for all?)
PLUS the Shield fuel: 15,000
PLUS the daily F/O/W- for ease people usually stock 15k of each generally so 45,000

Why, on a Core 2, would you want to store 19 days of FOW?

As for fuel:

The fuel usage rates are

Deuterium - 4 units per 16 seconds
H-Fuel - 3 units per 16 seconds
MOX - 2 units per 16 seconds
Thorium MOX - 2 units per 16 seconds
Promethene - 2 units per 16 seconds

I believe that it is per 20 seconds, but we will use the 16 seconds for now.

For Mox, 5000 = 2500 ticks
2500 x16 = 11.1 hours.
if it is indeed per 20 seconds, then 5k = 13.9 hours
Your Base will be dead, with a concerted attack, long before you run out of 15k of fuel.

Hint: A little thought out or even used idea.
Extra cheap storage for Bases, if you want to store extra Mox, Repair Materials etc
A 5ker costs somewhere in the region of 150-200 million.
You can buy about 10 Percherons (2.5k hold), or similar sized ships, for about 130-150 million. Total storage capacity 25k.

That would allow you to keep 5k of Fuel on the Base, 10k on the ships and 15k for storing of extra Repair Materials or what ever you want.

Have I also got it wrong that daily wear and tear in Reinforced Alloy takes the same amount across all cores just to exist?

No, you are not wrong.

Thank you for clarifying/confirming all of the above across multiple posts. Also, advising of the fuel on shields- that's an eye opener in itself. Also the f/o/w.

Is there a reason why a core 4 requires the same amount of wear and tear materials as a core one? Should this not be staggered accordingly?

Also, can you share the core intensions of these changes by the admin/dev/staff teams? I haven't seen that anywhere so far.
