Increase CU on wave amp back to 1000
Awhile ago, when distorter had 500 cu to build and amps had 1000 cu it was possible to finish a round and be unscannable.
I did this in late 60s, I was a modestly ranked planet (80th) or so. Later amps cu was changed to 800 Now it's impossible to be unscannable as a dist whore will always need 1 amp, and scanners can max out 300 amps with 800 cu. Having amps at 1000 cu means that within the allotted tick time it's not possible for scanners to have 300 amps This would add a nice option for players and increase the worth of dist |

Re: Increase CU on wave amp back to 1000
nonsense, amps are too expensive as it is compared to dists.
its about time that the cost of dists were raised! |
Re: Increase CU on wave amp back to 1000
Disagree on raising the CU cost of amps. 500 vs. 800 is already good enough to be able to reach immunity, and you don't really need the one amp.
I'm also against raising the cost of dists. The comparison is not fair, because scanners don't have to worry about their score (the ones that go for 250+, anyway), while disters do (even non-distwhores). Maybe raise the CU cost on both, though (by the same factor) so you can sleep a bit longer without missing ticks? 1000 maximum CU queued is only 5 ticks of activity for Tot/Ter. |

Both Amps and Dists should have the same CU

Re: Increase CU on wave amp back to 1000
Actually mz suggestion of changing cu for both could be nice solution to all
Amps cu 1500 Dist cu 1100 Would mean high amp rarely max out at 300 and make playing unscannable a possibility again |
Re: Increase CU on wave amp back to 1000
Amps at 1000 CU (max 10 hours of sleep for Ter/Tot) and dists at 800 or 900 (9 hours of sleep for Ter/Tot) seems fine to me. Making it much higher means the costs of amps and dists go down, which I'm not sure we need? *shrug*

Scanners already rarely reach 300 amps - check the Misc Stats. Or, for that matter, the rest of this thread. Amps are already quite high CU at 800 - your suggestion makes them by far the most time-intensive. It would make distorters super costly too, making that unviable. |

Indeed. So make amps cheaper |

Re: Increase CU on wave amp back to 1000
Given that massing dists is almost always a bad idea...
Why not make Amps/Dists only a game of cat-and-mouse for incoming scans, and make all other scans unaffected by dists? You get rid of the need for scanners (high amp scanners, that is - you'll still want someone to rush research). People will still invest in dists in order to fake attack, and the same for Amps to deter/spot said fake attacks. |
