Summary0026633: Dire CPAs, Suggestion and Possible Malfunction
DescriptionIn the attached save, a Dire CPA is about to fire. The Helon system is worth examining. There are two CPA Bunkers there. They both spawn CPA ships. Ok, good. But ...

** The listed amount of the CPA in the notification is about 115 strength, but actual threat goes up by about 180. I think this is because the notification tells you about the 'normal' ships. Should this also list similar information for what was added from the CPA Bunkers?

** I think it would be better if CPA Bunkers didn't spawn in systems that already have them, unless there are no other options (which usually there will be).

** I think the amount of extra ships joining the CPA is reasonable. Balance is good!!

** I also propose removing the AIP cost for destroying a bunker. I don't think it scales well with games that have a number of AIs, and is likely to make this feature 'feel' than it actually is.

I think with the above tweaks Dire CPAs are ready for prime time, tweaks possible as players use them or don't, as ever.

CPA Bunkers now try not to spawn on planets with a CPA bunker already. Remove the AIP cost

Do you have a save with a CPA notification and some CPA Bunkers I could look at?

Yeah for some reason I failed in attaching the save file in the original post. Trying again.
