Defense Vacation

[Dagr]

Do you're defensive troops come home day after day in sweat and blood just to protect a little bit of Naquadah? They're probably not even getting paid half of what they deserve on top of no benefits. Well how about you offer your troops some paid vacation time this summer?


Just a thought that popped into my head. Have an option to not send in defense soldiers. This could allow for a player to keep all of their defense while in war. Once the war was finished they could use their defense again. I realize this is a rather crude idea for the moment but maybe something good can be formed from it.

So encourage snipers even more and.. make war totally pointless?

[Iƒrit]

lol a big NO!!

[Dagr]

The idea is to preserve defenses so you just don't mass and be gone. I know it wouldn't work the way I suggested it.

[Doc]

No.

[ƒëmmë ƒatalë]

well how about a infinitive strike too then, or spies that never die or a MS that cant be crashed?... well you get the idea

[Dagr]

What if there was a tech you could buy that would set them on vacation after taking so much damage? It would have to be expensive and only be used once then repurchase.

[Iƒrit]

or how about you take your losses and raid/farm naq and rebuild....

[Dagr]

That takes away from wars I think. Once you mass away a defense theres not much left to the war.

you could mass there defense and then rebuild one yourself....or you could jut sit with 0 defense and mass any of there defenses and spies and farm them, thats what most people do...

[Dagr]

I know and I wanted to see if there were any other possibilities out there. Clearly this isn't one.

[Sarevok]

Now hold up you lot. What's the difference between starting with a defence, having it massed, and never rebuilding it during a war, to shifting it elsewhere and having it when the war is over?

Most of the time, the only time people have a defence close to that which they have out side of war, is either when the war starts or when there is a vendetta with a set defence requirement.

I don't see the problem. If your being massed by a sniper, you can transform YOUR account into a sniper account instantly, saving your defence for someone that is honourable.

[ƒëmmë ƒatalë]

if you have a none destroyable def, then you suffer no loses.. where as having to rebuild after a war still costs you.

the enemy would know they had nothing to lose, so massing would lose its advantage.

There is, it's called Nox. Use it properly, and it does EXACTLY what you say.
Except that most of the time, your defence is too quickly brought down for Nox to save some of your defence..

So we can't kill spies, AC, MS, and sab attack weapons?
