[Openme-developers] base busting

[Oliver D. B. <oli...@ma...>]

I read both suggestions from Hawklan and aos.

Both of them fufill goal 2. That is an increased chance of casualities.=20

Hawklans is with a hardcoded constant of 3 so each merchant can be hit =
by 0 - (#OfTurrets / #ofAttackers)+3, turrets. Aos is an approach where =
the turrets are distributed on ships and the "first" ship in line is the =
most damaged. I lean towards aos's here since its more dynamic of =
nature. But it also seem abit harsh, seems like #1 ship always goes =
down.


Hawklans suggestion dosent fufill goal 1 though, since he wants the base =
to be intact. Well a turret dont stop firing when it looses it shields, =
why would it?, and when point giant weapons at a base and fire. =
Somethign is going to be damaged. We must do away with the all or =
nothing strategy, since it should be possible to attack a few round. =
Come back the next day and all your work is not gone. This way I am sure =
more bases will be busted(more fun).
So in regards to goal one I think that aos suggestion is the best, so =
far. You might take some losses but it will be worthwhile if U stick out =
a few round. Then U start to wear the shields thin. Remember its =
supposed to be one big shield with each SG adding to its strength so its =
logical that some shots might penetrate.

I also think that we should not destroy base when its defenses are down. =
but it does require a new feature. So lets wait a bit with that.

Comments?
