But now we know that whether at full strength of damaged, they go to 1 strength

game updates wrote:Weapon Cost and Resale
All weapons are 10x the cost of previously (keep in mind att and def are 2x as strong though).
Also, def weapons can resell for 90% of their initial value, while attack weapons sell for just 10% of their initial value.
The logic here is that massing is costly if you want to 'hit then hide' while a good defense is always in demand.

wasmguy wrote:What if the increase in cost for defense weapons is reduced to 5x rather than 10x (with strike weapons staying at 10x). This will allow for a cheaper defense and still keep the repairs for strike weapons higher for massing.

Also the resale value for the defense weapons is too high and should be brought back to the original 50%

All attack weapons are 3x the cost of previously (keep in mind att and def are 2x as strong though).

The logic here is that massing is costly if you want to 'hit then hide' (Sell your attack weapons to avoid sabotage), while a good defense is always in demand.

Bold is my addition, and strikethough is subtractions.

sabbed you first because well.. with the new wep costs its a lot easier to find UU then it is to farm naq to buy weps...

and about 2k ish turns

GeneralChaos wrote:LOL im just gonna run with 0 defense after the update as i think most of the server will,

Say average at the moment is between 5 and 10 mill supers at a cost of 5,992,000 Naquadah per weapon

So

5,000,000 = 29,960,000,000,000

10,000,000 = 59,920,000,000,000

Now if you want to add mercs to this, double them costs,

Hell even if you want a small amount say 2mill, its going to cost you 12trill

Now take into account that you only need around 30-35% of said defense in attack to mass it,

Attack weapons

5,558,000 Naquadah each

5,000,000 = 27,790,000,000,000

You get the idea, its cheaper for them to attack yet again, ok the defense weapons got a little bit of a boost to strength, but this update just makes it that snipers will beable to do way more damage than they will ever receive and that is a complaint the community has had for along time, yet admin seems to have completely missed it again,

If this update goes ahead, you WILL see at least 85-95% of the server running with 0 defense, as no one is going to invest 30trill naq into something that takes 3 minutes to remove, with little to no costs to the attackers.

Defenders lose again,

Snipers win again,

Bravo.
