How little can you make the price(difference) of the new starbase?



The difference must be big enough to achieve decay rate difference or situatin where the orbital cannot throw at set speed. The packets with same decay rate and speed merge.

Is it enuf to simply swap the driver and gate locations?



No

Quote:


Do you *have* to change the driver type?



Not neccessarily. You may add another driver of same type and so the decay rate will change. You may use same mineral, does not matter.

I vaguely remember trying it once by building an exact copy SB..and it not working.

Step by step please so both myself and Zoid can understand Very Happy


Arrow Decay rate example here ....
Initially you got station with 2 x MD 5 and set throwing speed to 8
your build queue:
iron packet
station with 1 x MD 5
bora packet
station with 1 x MD 6
germ packet

Now you get 2 packets in same location at warp 8, one with bora and other one with germ and iron, because 2 x MD 5 are equal to 1 x MD 6.

Arrow Another example with changing speeds ...
you got station with 1 x MD 6 and set throwing speed to 9
your build queue:
iron packet
station with 2 x MD 5
bora packet
station with 1 x MD 5
germ packet

Now you got 3 packets at different speeds (and locations), iron at warp 9, bora at warp 6 and germ at warp 5. Also ... your planet is still set to throw at warp 9 but since the driver now is warp 5 driver that cannot reach warp 9 it throws at warp 5.

Arrow Third example with same mineral ...
Initially you got station with MD 5 and set throwing speed to 8
your build queue:
bora packet
station with 1 x MD 6
bora packet
station with 1 x MD 7
bora packet
station with 1 x MD 8
bora packet

As result you get 4 bora packets flying at same location.

As far i understand it is not cheat or something... it is more like trowing tactical trick for PP. Packets thrown by different drivers must decay differently and so they must be separated. Wink But do not wonder seeing 12 packets coming from 3 nearby PP planets. PP is poor guy so there must be some fun playing it. Very Happy
