No not at this time but we are working something of the sort.

when u cancel units or buildings u dont get any cash or resources back

[ moved: questions -> ideas ]

i'm going to move this into the ideas forum.  thanks for asking this question darknight

can anybody think of any reasons why this shouldn't exist?  it seems like an obvious benefit

there should be a penalty, atleast big enuf so fams wont abuse this options to avoid decay and bureaucrazy.

The penalty should be larger once more time building is spent.

In same tick as started building for ex. 10 %
then adding a few % for every so many % of building cyclus finished.

As you simulate having build them partial, the 10 % could be imagined as clearing the space on your planet where you started building to free to build space. And the latter additional penalty to simulate the materials used already and the higher cost to level the terrain.

Wouldn't be bad if 14 / 15 ticks done, you only get a very small piece back.

50% might be too harsh.. why would anyone ever cancell if theres a 50% penalty? they'd just let the units build.

If you put 50% penalty the only time people would cancel is if they screw up bigtime and buy millions of transports instead of droids for example.

If you put 20% then people might use it to adjust strategies as well. E.g. You see enemy made double your fighters. You cancel droid production and build less droids more fighters at the cost of units coming a bit later as well as 20% resources loss.

And you can avoid decay by stashing stuff on market anyways which only costs 10%.

good point.  offensive ops are disabled during pre-round though right?  maybe we can have no penalty in pre-round?

yes before start of round refund could be 100%

Make the refund 105% of the cost of the unit

that way every fam will have dedicated cancellers

half the players will do nothing productive at all each tic

then you can sell the game to Obama

There are way too many ways this could be abused with the current structure of gameplay.

yes, thats the reason to place a harsh penalty, maybe you think 50% loss is too harsh, ok then 40%, but there must be a penalty, even in the same tic. 

Now seriously, do our devs have time to implement things to "correct" our mistakes?? I dont think so, maybe from 100 active players 1 of them builds the wrong numbers and wants to cancel, and only 1 player and once in a rl week, ...  I think its not worht to "spend" our devs time in this clumsy player when the other 99 arent' comitting this mistake.
