Last minute bitching.
* Later today, all solar cannons will begin consuming 35 ore per hour instead of 25.
ok we knew that, thats cool, you gave us a week plus to let that gel
All solar cannon shots per burst will decrease 30% to allow for this change to not create ore shortages Wait ...WHAT???
Why did you (toonces) make an announcement and give me a week to make all these changes to all my planets just to monkey wrench it at the last minute?
If you said right from the top this is the way it will be I'm forced to believe you.
I am very pissed about this. Myself and my corpmate spent a ridiculous amount of fuel and time making sure our planets could support our solar cannons and you just FORCE me to revisit each col to change them AGAIN because at the last...and i mean last possible moment you decide to completely change what you gave me a week plus to prepare for.
Honestly hellion must have spent 100 hours and untold thousands of gallons of fuel this week making adjustments...this is complete I love puppies...you tell us one thing and do another.
The point is you should have said your intentions from the beginning.
I praised you for giving us a heads up on such a huge change to colony settings, ...but then you hug it up.

Re: Last minute bitching.
I guess I'll just do it the simple way and increase the cost without changing the number of shots, since that's all the news said.Major wrote:damnit man just make up your mind!Toonces wrote:I can do it the other way if you want.

if he didn't decide at the last minute to change this....which you had no way of knowing he was going to...your solars would have cut off anyways, forcing you to "do work".
...and you call me a lazyass

Re: Last minute bitching.
Perhaps Toonces can give you some fuel back lol
Re: Last minute bitching.
i dont know if its possible at this late hour but igp's should be left costing 25 per shot to make them stand out as something a bit tougher to take
Re: Last minute bitching.
I like that, because that will also make them a bit more valuable, especially on rebangs, where they are rarely used except to harvest.kenoneill wrote:i dont know if its possible at this late hour but igp's should be left costing 25 per shot to make them stand out as something a bit tougher to take

Re: Last minute bitching.
Toonces said he'd do the solar thing like 4 days ago. Now at midnight i find out i have to go around all of my corp's colonies? I mean I'm sorry major but this is a lot worse. Please do it the other way toonces
Just dont drop solar on cols not losing ore.. unless that makes it harder.

seriously. i wouldn't have cared if solars cost 500 ore per hour. just let a guy know wtf is up and stick to it...honestly do you think i would have flipped my wig if i had any sort of knowledge as i guess you did?
ive talked with many players from many servers that agreed with me. ...and more that didnt cause they "HEARD A RUMOR" that solars will fix themselves.
seriously...don't make me the db cause i called out the douchebaggery. i didnt get anything changed, i called I love puppies and it was recognized.
it wasnt my idea to make solars cost 35 ore per shot....it was toonces random unwanted idea.
so dont give me "...oh major you male chicken...you made me do stuff."
im the laziest chia pet in this game and i got hugged cause i wasnt privy to the private toonce-line like some of you.
i took him on his word (word is anything i see from dev's in the news) and ran with it. crazy hugging me.

Colonies will not consume more ore than they used to. The number of shots fired will be reduced to something that causes the ore consumed by the cannon to be less than or equal to what it was consuming before. In this way the cannons can never use up all the ore on colony causing solar cannon "brown-outs".
If you want to allocate more ore and return the cannons to firing more bullets, you will have to visit the colony. Sorry if you have a big empire but from time to time a patch may affect colonies and that's the nature of the beast. Not trying to make your life tedious just trying to make a more exciting game where the cost of a 10-shot defense is higher.
