You will find the entrances to them in Earhart (next to Alaska, have a look at the Nav Map). RE: Discovery Player Base Guide - TheKusari - 11-15-2023 Sup, everyone. I have spent the last few days overhauling the Player-Owned Base Guide to be much easier to read. In addition to this, I have included some details relating to the content added in with Patch 5.0. Hope you all appreciate the new look for the guide. May you all find some useful details in there!

However, I found a minor mistakes: REFINERIES & RECIPES https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=80349&pid=1036642#pid1036642 It says under Diamond Shaping for all but Advanced H-Fuel, the IFF bonuses are:
If I take the base_recipe_items.cfg Aingar posted on the 31th October in #refinery-feedback it's: Quote:affiliation_bonus = co_khc_grp, 0.85 ;DHCSo the factions from the Advanced H-Fuel recipe should be listed. However, it's 15%, not 17%?! (This would apply to the other ore refineries as well) But besides that, good work and it's a great reference book. RE: Discovery Player Base Guide - Aingar - 11-15-2023 0.85 is the multiplier for the amount of materials used. Which in turn means that you can produce ~17% more of the product out of the same amount of input cargo, since 1/0.85 = ~1.17. RE: Discovery Player Base Guide - Demonic - 11-15-2023
== REQUEST TO EDIT == Part : II Edit Request : The guide says: Base will start with 600,000 hit points when initially deployed [...] Maximum Hit Points: 12,000,000 One of these numbers is incorrect (I suspect the 600 000), because I recently deployed a base and it started at 50% HP, not 5% as the guide suggests. Fixed. ~Karst RE: Discovery Player Base Guide - rwx - 11-15-2023 (11-15-2023, 12:32 PM)Aingar Wrote: 0.85 is the multiplier for the amount of materials used. Which in turn means that you can produce ~17% more of the product out of the same amount of input cargo, since 1/0.85 = ~1.17. Of course you are right, but I think it's a bad wording then. You need 15% less input, but this (the guide) reads as "you get 17% more output" If I'd have no clue, I would think I get 292 refined materials for 500 input. Which will not happen, if I only drop 500 ore at the base, because the second production cycle will not start due lack of materials RE: Discovery Player Base Guide - St.Denis - 11-18-2023 How Good/Bad is the New Siege Mechanics?
As I said here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=200409&pid=2314120#pid2314120 "When known Siegers praise it, it rings slight alarm bells." Quote:1) Not sure about the new Siege Mechanics. So I decided to look in to it a bit more. POB Tutorial Wrote:Even during a vulnerability window, player owned bases only take damage from special, ammo-fed siege weapons mountable to gunboats, cruisers, battlecruisers, and battleships. For this, I decided to mainly look at the Battleship, as it is generally the Ship of choice for sieges. Battleship Siege Turret (Class 10 - Battleship Heavy) - Cost = 50,000 credits Ammo (Gustav) - Cost = 450 per shot. Maximum Ship can carry = 450 Total cost = 202,500 credits. Damage per shot = 72,000 ROF = 0.5 (1 shot per 2 seconds) POB Tutorial Wrote:As a POB takes damage, the internal shield will react accordingly and begin to harden against outside fire. Dev in the know Wrote:Bases start at 20% shield damage reduction when they first start taking damage during an invulnerability window. Then, every time a certain threshold of damage is reached -- it depends on the core of the base -- the base gains another 20% shield damage reduction. This can increase all the way to 100% (after 4 times the shield reinforcement threshold worth of damage is dealt), rendering the base invulnerable and creating what's effectively a damage cap per vulnerability window. Now the following information is using certain assumptions, of which I think are not correct, but it is on the side of caution as I do not know much about Battleships and their Powercores. Assumptions: 1) A BS can have only 1 Siege Cannon (I have a feeling that they can have more than 1). 2) With a fire rate of 0.5, I have said that it can continuously fire it once every 4 seconds (I have a feeling that they can fire it a bit faster than that). 3) That the increase in shield efficiency is at regular intervals ie 25% ,50% , 75% damage of the Base's daily allowance. For this example a Core 4 Base is used. Core 4 Base = 24,000,000 hps Daily Damage = 7,000,000 hps Daily allowable repairs = 2,995,200 hps Net Loss = 4,004,800 hps Vulnerability Window = 2 hours per day. Days to kill = 6 Day 1 - 19,995,200 left Day 2 - 15,990,400 left Day 3 - 11,985,600 left Day 4 - 7,980,800 left Day 5 - 3,976,000 left Day 6 - DEAD So now to how much damage a single Battleship, using 1 Siege Turret, firing once every 4 seconds using the information above: For the: 0-25% threshold, the Siege Turret will do 80% of 72,000 = 57,600 damage per shot. 25-50% threshold, the Siege Turret will do 60% of 72,000 = 43,200 damage per shot. 50-75% threshold, the Siege Turret will do 40% of 72,000 = 28,800 damage per shot. 75-100% threshold, the Siege Turret will do 20% of 72,000 = 14,400 damage per shot. 7,000,000 divided in to equal quantities of hps for the 4 thresholds = 1750,000 Shots to reach threshold: 1st - 1,750,000/57,600 = 30.4 shots 1st - 1,750,000/43,200 = 40.5 shots 1st - 1,750,000/28,800 = 60.8 shots 1st - 1,750,000/14,400 = 121.5 shots Total shots = 253.2 Total time to take 253.2 shots at 1 shot per 4 seconds = 1,012.8 seconds or 16.9 minutes. Ah! But I didn't take in to account the Base repairing in that time. POB Tutorial Wrote:Base repair rates and damage rates are: Core 4 Base has all 3 Repair Materials in abundance, so maximum healing can be achieved. Healing = 3 x 240 x 4 = 2,880 per minute So for 16.9 minutes = 48,672 At best this would add another 12 seconds to the time taken by 1 Battleship to achieve maximum damage in the 2 hour window, so taking the time up to 17.08 minutes. So based on these calculations, it would take 1 Battleship, over a 5 day period, 85.4 minutes to reduce a Core 4 Base down to the point that it would need about 6 minutes to finish off the Base on the 6th day. Taking about 1353 shots for the price of 608,850 credits worth of ammo. Cost to the Owner for 5 days worth of Repair Materials is 691,200 credits, just to keep the Net Loss down to 4,004,800 hps per day. So Defenders will need to be defending for the whole of each 2 hour period to stop the Base dying. Disclaimer: This is best I can do with the information I have to hand. I am sure a Dev will point out any mistakes I have made. I would hope that Base Sieging isn't this easy. RE: Discovery Player Base Guide - TheSauron - 11-18-2023 The damage per shot listed in a siege weapon's stats is against other ships. Their anti-PoB damage output, last I asked, goes like this: ![]() As for the damage output of a single siege ship, the two numbers that determine it are the ship's power regen and the weapon's efficiency. Taking the Battleship Siege Turret as an example, it does 10 000 damage for 400 000 power, giving it an efficiency of 0.025. To get the damage-per-second a ship can dish out over a long period of time, you simply multiply the power regen by the weapon's efficiency. For example, the Legate has 151 000 u/s power regen. Multiplying it by the 0.025 efficiency of a Siege Turret gives us a value of 3 775 DPS. That is the maximum amount of damage a Legate will do to a PoB, regardless if it has one or four siege turrets. I arrived to a similar conclusion to yours when I also assumed the stat card damage is what the weapons do to a PoB, but their actual damage output is much lower. Because of this, your result of 85 minutes is way off the mark, though far as I know the amount of shooting is still much less than it used to be. |
