| Summary | 0015954: Solar Map: Make destructive RCI dispatches "Expense" again? | ||||
| Description | Taken from the forums: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,16448.0.html Just something that occurred to me in my current game: I have been tanking (i.e. lowering) the RCI ratings of races like heck e.g. to soften them up for ground invasion. While I really like the fact that this is possible and effective (I asked for it - it want it to stay that way!) I have to say that being able to do it and getting paid for ruining a race's life is likely a bit over the top. There currently is no real opportunity cost at the moment, even if devastating all four RCI ratings of a planet to something like -100. Just to be very clear: I do not want time to be the limiting factor here again! That was just frustrating. But applying some credit cost to the "destructive" RCI dispatches would go a long way, both in terms of consistency and gameplay, I think. Maybe simply make the current pay-off into a cost for a start? If this turns out to be not enough the cost can still be raised later. Thoughts? | ||||

A better idea might be to make the RCI dispatches cost/make money depending on the original value when you started. Like the higher an RCI was when you started tanking it, the lower the base cost of the dispatch would be. Oooh, and maybe have it depend on whether a Fed has been formed. If there's a Federation, RCI-tanking is a money-maker against races not in the Federation. |

I'm going to keep it simple to understand and not too extreme, at least for now: * The "harm RCI" dispatches now cost an extremely tiny amount of credits (1-2 per month), rather than gaining you any credit. Thanks! |
