RAS costing 2600 energy ???

[J0sh]

Hi all, yesterday I tried to ras with a t2 seraphim commander and the consumption of energy was 2600 i/o 600. Why ? Not the first time I notice that but still unable to understand it...

T2 acu builds and ugraides alot quicker than t1 acu.
That is why he also consumes resources quicker.

Ok, thks Zlo

Didn't know T2 ACU upgrades faster, does this apply to gun upgrade as well?

A t1 ACU has a build rate of 10 while a t2 ACU has a build rate of 42.
Everything a t2 ACU makes will drain 4.2 times the mass/power and will be built 4.2 times faster. Assuming you have don't stall.

Build time of Seraphim gun upgrade: 800
time to build for t1 acu: 80 seconds
time to build for t2 acu: 19 seconds

LOL WHAT, how could you not know that xD
this does apply to all upgraides on ACU, and ofc t3 will make it even faster.
you can also upgraide rapid fabrication upgraide 1rst on support commanders if you plan to do other upgraides

T2 upgrade will make everything upgrade faster EXCEPT T3 suite. It will still drain 250e 12m and will still take 3 minutes and 20 seconds to complete. You can, of course, assist it with engies...

Maybe because you need t2 upgrade before you can get the t3 upgrade, so the values are calculated/displayed with that in mind?

According to unit Blueprints:

http://direct.faforever.com/faf/unitsDB ... bp=XSL0001

LCH Tech 2 Engineering Suite (mass: 720, energy: 18000, buildtime: 900)new health: 14500hp (+3000hp), new regen rate: 30hp/s (+20hp/s), new build rate: 42

LCH Tech 3 Engineering Suite (mass: 2400, energy: 50000, buildtime: 8400)new health: 18500hp (+7000hp), new regen rate: 45hp/s (+35hp/s), new build rate: 126

The upgrade to T3 needs 8400 buildtime ( T2 Buildpower 42 = 200 seconds = 3:20 ). If it was calculated with using T1 buildpower, it´d show 14 minutes buildtime.

It´s something I never even thought about, until now.
