Re: Low level base kits
OK, we had a meeting and the following is what we are going to be implementing and patching into this uni when it's done (think a week to a month away at least):
- Add 2 base slots per gal for a team for every owned galaxy they have bordering - For owned galaxies, limit the number of bases for other teams based on the number of bordering owned galaxies. (That means that even if the owning team only has 10 bases there, the attackers only get the slots they get from bordering and no more. There is zero incentive to fill the slots.) - Add a check for transferring and capping bases for the galaxy slots. (If attackers want to cap a base, they have to have room in their own slots for that base.) - When a player is trying to join a team, check to make sure the number of team bases in any galaxy wouldn't exceed the limit. - Make any bases that exceed the gal limit and are no longer allowed to be there because there aren't any neighboring owned galaxies become abandoned. As long as there's at least one bordering owned gal, that team can keep their bases there. (If you start laying bases for BvB, the defenders can go and take out your bordering gal, thus cutting off and destroying your offensive bases.) - Add the number of slots that a kit takes to the base kit item description - Add a message when you deploy a base to tell you how many slots you have - Add a /baseslots command to tell you how many slots you have
So, one thing to note is that the bordering bases only applies in layers where you can own galaxies. In w0, you can't do this, so potentially teams can fill up a w0 gal with 25 bases and leave no slots. But I feel that because destroyed bases no longer take slots, it's OK, because attackers can kill one base, then lay a base of their own. Makes BvB in w0 quite different, but still doable.
Edit: Removed the thing about tech 0 and tech 3 bases.

I made an excel calculator for this and it works pretty well, but I never figured out exactly whether you round up, down, or to the nearest whole number on some things, so it had potential errors when you got down to only having a couple slots left. Please don't forget to make it show account slots remaining as well as character slots. JeffL wrote: - make tech 0 and 3 kits take the same slots as a tech 6 kit What is the reasoning for this? As you said, the other changes leave no incentive for spamming base kits.

Re: Low level base kits
Quote: There is zero incentive to fill the slots.) Quote: make tech 0 and 3 kits take the same slots as a tech 6 kit Sometimes I just don't get it. Anyone care to explain? And no, I do not use any kits but tech 12 and higher so I am not complaining because I use them, I am complaining because there is not a single logical thing about this. Either remove them or give us more slots, this is getting out of hand. Guess next uni we will be looking at another 50% reduction on our base slots. Well hooch, looks like were going to A) Need more accounts or B) Cancel subs... And I will not get anymore accounts.

Re: Low level base kits
By the way, Mr. L, I still really like the idea of those drones that let you PvB the gal with 24 hours notice.
The new slots rule will still allow "sneak attacks" through BvB, but can we have the PvB drones as well?

Re: Low level base kits
Like to see a situ where you don't need a math degree to work out how many base slots you have
why not make it bordering team can deploy a STM base in a gal even if gal cap has been reached said base is instant aggro and deployed maybe under war conditions only....

Re: Low level base kits
Clearly the sarcasm of my earlier post was not picked up on. Because I don't want to believe the other choice.

When Jeff implements his post, this will be possible. Each boarding team gets +2 slots on the gal. Probably have to be at war to get these..
