Amps vs Dists atm not fair

ATM:
- You pay to build amps
- You pay to build distorters

- You pay to use amps (scans)
- You don't pay to use distorters (block scans)

I suggest:
- When you block a scan with your distorters it cost you the same as the scan type...
- If you don't have the res... the distorters don't work (same as if you don't have res, you can't scan).

Fair enough ?

Re: Amps vs Dists atm not fair

so then I could get an alliance scanner to just scan a dist whore over and over to use up all his resources?

Re: Amps vs Dists atm not fair

abusing dist whores... that would be an improvement in gameplay

Scanning a dist whore to dry his resources would cost as much to whoever try it... i don't see the abuse. And if you mean that team/ally work would overcome a solo player def... yes, that's how it should be.

Say hello to the alliance fund, that scanners can use to pay for ALL their scans. Oh shucks, I bet the alliance really really can't afford to spend, er, bugger all per player, to abuse this feature.

Re: Amps vs Dists atm not fair

where does the alliance fund come from ? I find it an improvement if the money put together by alliances can be used to annoy the dist whores.
But I'm one of those (too few) people who think dist whoring is an abuse in itself.
Jerome I disagree with you, but I accept that dist whores would find it hard to swallow.

Shit idea for reasons mentioned in the thread.

Actually it's not even that complicated. Just get a randomer to sign up a free planet, build one amp and planet scan the distwhores whenever he's around. In fact you can then drain the resources of every single planet that builds more than one dist using this tactic.

Re: Amps vs Dists atm not fair

Not to mention that amps already have other advantages over dists.

Dists let you fake and stop random small attacks, but unless you spend all your time and resources investing in them and thus massively cutting your income, alliances will have a scanner who can scan you anyway, thus reducing the effect of your distorters.

Whilst having a few amps lets you P, S, T, U, N, J, I, A a lot of people.

The advantages of each seem balanced IMO.

It's a bit tiring to repeat eg. several times a P-scan or more expensive ones if the distwhore in question has loads of res.
anyway, amazing idea to warn distwhores of the upcoming attack...

Re: Amps vs Dists atm not fair

wouldn't a small operating fee be a better suggestion then, for example 100*#dists each tick? Not that i like my own idea, i just think it's better than yours Makhil :P

I can see what you were thinking here, but i don't see it as something positive for the game.
