Quick question on Defensive Index (Kebir Blue)

When I reached Level 2, I deactivated all of my defensive weapons to save money.

Now my FI is where it needs to be for Level 3, will reactivating those weapons take my DI straight to 75+?

Or will it increase gradually?

It's currently below 12.00, so I hope it doesn't take too long.

Thanks

i am pretty sure you will find out there are only so many weapons you are allowed to reactivate per month, around 10% i believe.

Thanks Alex.

I don't mind it being gradual, just as long as it doesn't take ages. The rate you mentioned shouldn't take more than a few days.

In the meantime, I can build more CEO Corps to help reach Level 4

10% is the max for reactivation per game month for available weapons.

np. Just remember, it's 10% of available DEACTIVATED weapons.

Would I be right in saying that reactivating weapons at 10% per month will have a negative impact on my FI?

I'm above 75% now for FI, but haven't started reactivating yet as I want to get it a bit higher first.

Yes it does impact the FI because your country profit gets eaten up by military. The larger the military the more your country needs to make to keep up the FI.

Just as I thought

Pretty sure it is 10% of non-deployed weapons. That is deactivated and also activated weapons that are sitting around.

If you recall your garrisons, dismantle units, or buy more weapons you will be able to reactivate more weapons each month. If you sell, transfer, create units, or your weapons get deployed to garrisons it will take longer to reactivate the remaining weapons.

If you aren't worried about a war and you just want the points you can buy units that minimize the economic impact. For example, missile interceptor batteries add twice as many points as anti-aircraft or defensive missiles. Defensive artillery adds a tenth as many points as AA Bats but require more soldiers and also gasoline.
