I am wondering if PGI used the latest CW Planet challenge to stealth test some upcoming CW changes. It should not be to hard to assign certain values to each planet and use the same system, or something similar, as they did in the recent CW challenge for logistical purposes.

For example. During the challenge if Unit A took 3 planets they got a certain score. If they lost a planet, their score changed.

Now lets apply something tangible to it.

Unit A takes planets 1, 2 and 3. Assigned value is a 20% CBill bonus to each planet for a total of 60% CBill boost. Unit B takes planet 1 from Unit A, now Unit A only gets a 40% CBill boost, while Unit B gets a 20% CBill boost. Keep in mind, these are made up values for this purpose.

Just like the warped central banking scheme, I think you are giving out too much credit. LMAO


Besides, lame cbill boosts for planets will quickly lose their sheen and are a bandaid not worth time. Planet bonuses need to be specific (10% off ERLL, 5% off XL engines, etc) which will obviously only matter if destruction and repair/rearm are added...........and then also, attack lanes need to be community made, not PGI opened.

@Thumper, I agree. The CBill bonus was just an example. There are a lot of better options to have benefits for owning a planet.

This was a test of the EWS... the Emergency Whining System.

This is just a daily test. Had this been a real emergency and ghost drops were fun, you would be informed of the dire consequences of ghost farming. CW evacuation would have immediately commenced had this been a real emergency.

This is a test of the EWS. You will now be going back to your scheduled complaining.
