Dev Post: Starbase tweaks

May 6, 2014

Hello people,

As mentioned during the various Fanfest panels and round tables, I’m going to list here the various changes planned to Starbases for Summer that are being discussed on the Building Better Worlds Blog feedback.

First, regarding Assembly Arrays:

– We are giving all assembly arrays a 2% material reduction to manufactured products (except for the Drug laboratory, Subsystem System Array, Rapid Equipment Assembly Array and Supercapital Assembly Array).
– Advanced Assembly arrays no longer 10% have material waste. They now all have 2% material reduction like their regular counterparts.
– Rapid Equipment Array material waste now is 5% instead of 20%.
– X-Large Assembly Array is being renamed Capital Ship Assembly Array to better reflect what it actually does.
– Capital Assembly Array is being renamed Supercapital Ship Assembly Array for the same reasons.

We are planning to increase cargo capacity on the following Assembly Arrays:

– Corporate Hangar Arrays: from 1,400,000 m3 to 3,000,000 m3.
– Ammunition Assembly Array: from 150,000 m3 to 1,000,000 m3.
– Component Assembly Array: from 1,000,000 m3 to 1,500,000 m3.
– Drone Assembly Array: from 150,000 m3 to 1,000,000 m3.
– Equipment Assembly Array: from 500,000 m3 to 1,000,000 m3.
– Rapid Equipment Assembly Array: from 500,000 m3 to 1,000,000 m3.

Then, laboratories:

Mobile Laboratory has been renamed Research Laboratory. Advanced Mobile Laboratory has been renamed Design Laboratory. Hyasyoda Mobile Laboratory has been renamed Hyasyoda Laboratory.

Research labs:

Time multiplier for Research ME: 0.7 (was 0.75).
Time multiplier for Research TE: 0.7 (was 0.75).

Design labs:

Time multiplier for copying: 0.6 (was 0.65).
Time multiplier for invention: 0.5 (was 0.5).

Hyasyoda labs:

Time multiplier for Research ME: 0.65 (was 0.75).
Time multiplier for Research TE: 0.65 (was 0.75).
