' Wrote:Weapons platforms take damage when the base shield is up and are destroyable although they will be respawned automatically after 15 seconds.
What is the reasoning for this? If the shield is up, the base is under attack, and it needs its weapons platforms to defend itself.
Also, with the new fuel decreases, a base can remain shielded for a very, very long time. Assuming that the maximum amount of time is used per each "shield up" encounter, a single 5k transport can supply a base with enough fuel to live through 227 consecutive attacks. Times 16, and that's 60 hours worth of attacks, or 2.5 days. From a single 5k. If the median time that a shield is up is 8 minutes, that's still 30 hours.
