this idea does not only focus on fleeters not fsing. it also provides a way for the game to promote better fsing habit. yes and big players do have the advantage of not fsing and only fleeting. and trading in deut for the raided or recycled metals+crystals. the point was to give the smaller players a setup where they are put into a better practice of fleeting. i suppose fleeters in ze has lost the charm of finding hard target and got habituated of getting prays served to them.-Death- wrote:To create the idea just because you are tired of seeing fleets sit well..that is why acs attack was created.
go wild ppl the hunters do show their true color in wild where the prey isnt easy to find. just wishing you would just take off that fleeters mask for once and see it from other players perspective.
as you can see if you are a raider you can skip that by keeping your fleet of the rank refresh time. which every small scale fleeter already do. only the LAZY ones dont.Unholy wrote: The hourly cost for docking ONLY 50,000 LGs would be
Crystal = (600,000,000/50,000) * 2 = 240,000 units.
Deuterium = (600,000,000/50,000) * 1 = 120,000 units.
These are only for LGs.. I'm sure there a huge number of different ships too.. like Recs, RIP, Dests, EC and BC.
If you'd sum all of them up.. the cost would be really (REALLY!) high.
And given the fact that it is an hourly demand..
I'd give it a NO.
everyone will admit that the cost for docking is really negligible. if you are fleeter with a 50k LG i am sure your mining income for that day is about at least 15 times that not even including your raid income. you can just skip all that by keeping your fleet off the ranking. it means two things:
# you are regularly attending to your fleet.
# you start to value the benefit of fleet saving.
the suggestions that you mentioned is for players who has one primary fleet that you send on fs once a day. usually miners or turtles. i think it will be safe to say that a miner or turtles fleet is mainly a transport fleet. which only remains stationary for just till you gather your res or for the time you do trades. and just so you know the number of ships that would just may be stationary for the rank refresh is the ones that either returns from shipment. i am pretty sure its not more than 50 EC at best for most players.
the docking cost for 50 EC to remain stationary i am sure you and everyone else in game will agree is nothing compared to the amount they gather.
about the raiders... well raiders DO NOT GET CAUGHT ON RANK REFRESH!!! so no expense there is there?
if you get caught well why not pay the price as well so that u dont repeat it?
about big fleeters shmmm... i guess its burning your chairs a bit.
but can u really think of a valid reason for you not to bare this cost? yeah you are big fleeter if the smaller ones gets a better life out of it then why not just fs to your moon for the time being?
also lemme see how long much it will be for 8 hour docking cost for the biggest fleet i can think of ... i will post a pic here ...
Spoiler:
Deuterium 18,605,624
Thats the cost you would bare if you dont fs. i am wondering if a big fleeter will actually had to fs and see how that would cost.
also u can by pass all that just fs to your planet. now will you agree that you are just being lazy or just not seeing the point?
this thread is to make sure ze provides a right direction for giving the players a better way to learn the game.
