I'm talking by about 2/3. At least that way, you wouldn't be dealing with the arbitrary limit. I always thought bases shot from too far away anyway. I remember one of the Devs posting that we cannot extend past 10k because base mags desynch and you start getting hit but nothing is even near you on screen.

TW, DM and RE would be more than happy to test the new code on LC galaxies on live

Re: Low level base kits
Can we get a large heads up before the update goes in? For obvious reasons.
And can someone please compile a solid list of rules/limits in BvB? I don't mean cheating wise but how it works as I was personally caught hugely by surprise when Progress declared war on PC then dropped kits 12k out 1 min later. Thought you had to wait 24 hours after war was declared.

Re: Low level base kits
The 24 hour rule is on owning the neighboring galaxy, which Progress already had for quite awhile. There's a 1 hour wait after war has been declared before it's "official", after which you can BvB. The 1 minute you say was actually an hour, but time does fly when you're having fun.

Re: Low level base kits
Conditions: Must Own gal adjacent to target for 24hrs. Connection to your HQ, not outpost. These do not apply for unowned gals.
Action: War declared: 1hr timer then BvB possible.
Restrictions: Attacking team cannot trans base kits to alts during a seige. You must own the gal to trans kits.
Currently as kits die more may be deployed up to 25 Live bases.

What? you want a more specific heads up? =)
