Had an idea, while working on the
Wiki , and thinking on how I would change the Outpost system a little.
Now we current have
36 outposts consisting 9 Factories, 6 Labs, 6 mines 9 Uplinks and 6 Fortress.
First things, think of uplinks as a source of power for the connecting outposts. This source of power is what powers the bonus generators The connected outposts would be based on the current layout of
hacknet . So Gravis would power Simmons, Tyron and Redrock.
Then lets introduce a Completely Randomly mAde uP Clan Power Treaty that says that holding clans must supply power from the Uplinks to the connected outposts, at the following rates.
Holding clans of the same faction - 100%
Holding clans that are allied to the faction - 90%
Holding clans that are neutral to the faction - 65%
Holding clans that are hostile to the faction - 40%
This power effects the bonus, so if a Fallen Angels faction hold Simmons Factory, and another Fallen Angels clan hold Gravis, you get the full bonus of 44CST, but if a hostile clan comes and takes Gravis, you only get 18CST as you are only getting 40% power from Gravis. And when constructors can't do their jobs properly, it's time to lay down your tools and pickup the guns to go and fight!
The end result should be more fighting as now uplinks now become a lot more strategic in holding ops.
