| Summary | 0001808: Distribution Nodes - Convert into Resource Storage | ||||
| Description | With all that has changed recently in AI War, distribution nodes are really underwhelming as a result from all the economy changes. Here are my thoughts: - The nodes provide, when positive gain, around 30-100K resources. * Starships cost a LOT of resources now; this seems like nothing and nodes don't provide a lot of resources anymore, because, * Economy overhaul means resources are gained much more rapidly than before; it's not unusual to have a mid-game economy of 1K+ ME/CRY. A minute = 60K ME/CRY. I would very much like it for them to be converted to extra resource storage as offering more resources in return could potentially unbalance the early game and won't be helpful late-game anyways, especially with ion cannons being our latest economy friends. | ||||

I'm a bit split on this one: - I think that distribution nodes are underwhelming in the new economy and could use a boost - I also think that extra resource storage would be a great help But: - I'd really prefer to be able to BUILD extra storage rather than rely on finding distribution nodes. - I suggested this as a candy tech a while back: 0001314 http://www.arcengames.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=1314 Now, if we could have both work as storage (ie: distribution node storage is the unlockable), that'd be great, too! |

These were always meant to be a bit not really worth it. But, they need a buff to be more enticing, you're right: * Distribution nodes previously granted players between 20k and 200k of metal and crystal each on being burst. With all the recent economic changes, that's in no way worth even 1 AIP. Now they give between 300k and 400k of metal and crystal each on being burst (except the trojan ones, obviously, which take away half that). |
