Default Re: Suggestions for better AI resource management and better Ground combat

LemmyM:
"i believe a storage fac. costs 1000 each resource and can store 20000 resources, i think it must be more expensive ( capacity / costs ) so something around 500"

A great idea.

The resource storage costs 2000 times each resource (if I'm not mistaken). But I actually think that the production cost should be lower or the same because of the following reasons (or... "why it's better to have a storage facillity on the planet"):

-Maintainance
-Research (the component should be in its own tech area, or perhaps in the "cargo" tech area since it only consists of three levels?)
-You'd hafta build the hull, engines, vehicle control components in order to get these storage bases/ships.

The good things about having a storage base would be:

-More storage space.
-Cheaper in the short run/to build (paying maintanance for the ship for 100 years would of course be more expensive).
-Saving facillity space on planets

That's how I think it should be (for the time being). "Why?" I dunno why...
