| Summary | 0026235: Expert Outguard Adjustment | ||||
| Description | Outguard are in the base game are reasonably priced but still somewhat on the cheap side. That is good for HA. But what is happening right now in Expert is that players can circumvent the fuel system by hacking Outguard, which don't require fuel at present, and thereby get a larger combat force. This is not good. Multiple ideas were kicked around on the discord. IMO the best option is attaching a cost in Xenon for the hack itself. I.e. instead of HaP + AIP, it's now HaP + AIP + Xenon. Xenon cost should probably scale with the AIP, so that as a starting point, for every 10 AIP the Outguard hack costs, the player gets a permanent 50k reduction in available Xenon. Outguard would also be affected by the available Xenon supply, so that their effectiveness would be hit if the player didn't have enough just as if they were an Officer or whatever. I hope this is viable - Outguard being sort of 'off the grid' as they are leaves straightforward solutions as somewhat hard to come by. The other possibilities raised so far were considerably less attractive in my opinion. If there's a better way to make fuel matter for Outguard though, I'm all for it. | ||||

Thanks! * Added a new Outguard Balance section to the Balance galaxy options window. * Added a new galaxy option to that outguard balance section: Outguard Also Cost Xenon ** Defaults to off. Forced on in Expert mode and above, and has no effect when there is no Fuel enabled. When enabled, the hack to claim outguard permanently removes 5000 Xenon from your inventory for every 1 AIP the hack costs (so typically that's 50k Xenon). ** Additionally, with this option on, if you have any Outguard and you have a balance of zero or less Xenon, they will be less effective. ** Fully tested and works. * If the fuel efficiency is below 100% and affecting a unit, that unit now shows that in its tooltip. |
