Engineering Stations vs Engineers

Postby Morax » 12 May 2016, 15:40

Did a comparison of engineering stations verse engineers and realized that for the cost of 780 mass you can make the build power of a Cybran t3 (fully-upgraded station) engineering suite that costs 4,350 (pretty much a t3 mex...). That just seems plain old silly...

Could we perhaps scale the cost of engineering stations down a bit and/or make their build power more dominant?

(also are you sure about that db? i got a price of 1050 for 5 buildpower which is 15 engies or 780 mass: http://www.faforever.com/faf/unitsDB/un ... 04,URL0105)
you are most likely being tripped up by the fact that hives are affected by leftover code from engymod, which messes with their prices and so you need to set them like that for anything to work at all.

Actually it's quite simple: the cost of the t3 engineering station includes the cost of the past two and itself, hence the 1.05k
