Logistic penalty for retreated factories
« on: February 27, 2013, 10:02:03 AM »
Right now, having your factories retreat (instantly) is nothing but a boon for your country.

My wish is that once your factories retreat, all factory supplied objects incur an extra 15 minutes downtime until they return to the front, to simulate extended supply lines, delays in delivery, and the time to retool and move the factories.

You'd STILL be safe (on most maps) from the constant attacks the frontline factories suffer, but you'd have an incentive to try to move them back to the front.

I don't care about the strat war (or the war win in general), but that idea actually makes sense.

+1 as well.

There is no reason to defend a front line ZONE base atm because of this and this solution would certainly fix that. A19 has now been taken the last 3 times Tagma has been up (that I've been counting) by FB's and no effort to retake it because it only helped the other side. I did just see Bishops actually took 19 back, must have been 75% of their comrades yelling NO!

GOOD IDEA!  It makes perfect sense.

or... dont have the factories retreat so far to the rear.  Instead of them moving all the way back perhaps only half way to the rear would be better.

Excellent idea, especially since once they retreat any bombers heading there are 163 fodder.

Fixed.....don't take bases near strat. Why should a side have a penalty for you taking their base?

Should have a 163 base near strat no matter where it is
