The cost of keeping the army
The cost is reduced again.
The cost of mainly defensive weapons and ammunition is reduces by at least 10%. Some types by more than that.
Also the maintenance cost of the army have been reduced.
Some offensive weapons were included in the change but reduction are smaller.
Nuclear weapons are gradually becoming more costly as was published several months ago.
The capacity of Cargo shuttles & their speed
The capacity of cargo shuttles is doubled.
This is achieved by reducing the space each item occupies on the shuttle.
As a result, a cargo shuttle can transport twice as many products. The change obviously reduces the cost of transport.
Cargo shuttles also move much faster.
This was already published before.
Storage cost on Space Stations
The cost of storage on space stations is reduced by about 50%.
The reduction is achieved by the same reduction of the space needed to store products. Docking stations can now store two times more products.
Army Units and defensive capabilities
Many army units are slightly changed.
In general the defensive power of some units is increased.
This includes some air force units, and also some land units.
Some weapons and ammunition types have been slightly updated.
A military unit can now have up to 70% of its weapons of a single type. The percentage is now reduced 3 times from standing at 100%. The change will make military units include more types of weapons as was the intention when they were created.
In general, this is a step forward in improving the fighting capabilities of the defensive army.
Population
The population of free player countries will increase a bit more in the coming weeks and months.
The same for C3 countries which will give new players and better starting conditions.
Corporation
Even more tuning of some corporations.
The (small) changes are intended to improve their profitability. |

The defense cost will decline gradually.
Countries already have a stock of ammunition and maintenance products and bought them at the price before the change.
The maintenance cost of the army is based on the average price paid for these products.
New such products will be purchased for a lower price.
The maintenance cost of the army will then be based on a lower average purchasing price. |
