Re: reassign resources

Been a while since this was suggested so I'll go ahead and suggest it again to keep it fresh in our minds...

If you build something and want to cancel it you should get:
100% rez back if it's same tick as you selected build..
90% rez if its 1 tick later
80% 2 ticks later...
Etc etc down to 50% at 5 ticks...
Stays at 50% for all remaining ticks your building...

The lowered amount stops people from storing... But it means if you accidentally build smt like I dunno 3 portals and 1k cf when extremely high and realise a tick later what you've done you can at least get some money back.. or a slip of the mouse and you select the wrong building type...

Should be easy enough to implement.. my only gripe would be that it would take into account ob and empire size etc...

- HUMI FOR MOD!!!

Re: reassign resources

yah, sometimes building the wrong thing can hurt a lot. not too long ago i was building a laser trap and accedentally went up to 1400% ob with them, it cost over 50m cash which hurt

everything is inextricably inter-twingled
