Hangar

Nastyogre: Nastyogre moved page Hangar Rules to Hangars & Rules

NOTE: Yes this is verbose and the table needs to be properly formatted. I'm just getting the ideas down. Calm down.- Nastyogre

A player's hangar consists of four types of units. Meks, Vehicles and Infantry. (Aero is not currently implemented)
Players start with 120 bays. Each type of unit requires a specific number of bays. This can be found in the Client's online help. A listing is also Posted here.

A few special rules exist:

1: Foot infantry: Foot infantry do not take up 1 bay as listed in the table below. Only Jump, Mechanized and Motorized take up 1 bay. Foot take up fractional bay space. It takes several foot to take up 1 bay.

2: In an effort to require some balance to a player's hangar, there is a tax if too many of a Mek weight class is in a player's hangar.
This "tax" begins at 6 units of a specific weight class. This applies only to meks.
The tax is expressed as part of the player's hangar rental. It can be found in the upper right corner of the client. Example: Bays: 0/142 (256CB) The 256 Cbills is the hangar rental cost.
This cost increases with every bay rented (above the free 120) and with every mek weight class at 6 or above.
The tax is exponential. It is very small at 6 and grows quickly. Rough guide is that it is noticeable at 8 units of a weight class. 10 units will be significant rental costs of a several hundred cbills per game played.
At 12 or above of a specific weight class, it is unlikely that any player could sustain such an unbalanced hangar. The cost could run thousands, even tens of thousands of cbills in rental cost per game played.
The solution is a more balanced hangar using meks of 3 or 4 weight classes and limiting the number of meks acquired to 10 or less of each weight class. Using some vehicles will also allow a player to diversify their hangar and not experience heavy taxation. Hangar rental cost is calculated AFTER salvage, so it is possible to salvage oneself into a major hangar tax. This could leave a player with negative bays and to be unable to support their hangar and cause the selloff of purchased bays. (see below)

NOTE: If a player does not have sufficient cbills to pay the tax, the client will automatically sell off ALL of a player's rented bays. This will leave the player with negative bays (potentially in the dozens) and with no cbills.
The player will not be able to play. You are advised to watch your hangar rental costs and bays. The way to avoid this is to maintain sufficient cbills to pay for your costs, even if you salvage units. As well as to keep some bays open to absorb salvage. This requires discipline while purchasing and playing with a balanced hangar. (or limiting oneself to less than 6 full armies)

the penalty cost for buying over the limit is from two server settings... MaxHangarLightMek=6 and SlidingHangarLimitModifier=4... so after you have 6 light meks then the 7th will cost 1^4=1 extra and the 8th will cost 2^4=16 extra and the 9th will cost 3^4=81 extra and the 10th will cost 4^4=256 extra etc. The extra cost is the same for assault as it is for lights so the 10th assault costs base_price+256

2: In an effort to require some balance to a player's hangar, there is a tax if too many of a Mek weight class is in a player's hangar.
This "tax" begins at 6 units of a specific weight class. This applies only to meks.
The tax is expressed as part of the player's hangar rental. It can be found in the upper right corner of the client. Example: Bays: 0/142 (256CB) The 256 Cbills is the hangar rental cost.
This cost increases with every bay rented (above the free 120) and with every mek weight class at 6 or above.
The tax is exponential. It is very small at 6 and grows quickly. Rough guide is that it is noticeable at 8 units of a weight class. 10 units will be significant rental costs of a several hundred cbills per game played.
At 12 or above of a specific weight class, it is unlikely that any player could sustain such an unbalanced hangar. The cost could run thousands, even tens of thousands of cbills in rental cost per game played.
The solution is a more balanced hangar using meks of 3 or 4 weight classes and limiting the number of meks acquired to 10 or less of each weight class. Using some vehicles will also allow a player to diversify their hangar and not experience heavy taxation. Hangar rental cost is calculated AFTER salvage, so it is possible to salvage oneself into a major hangar tax. This could leave a player with negative bays and to be unable to support their hangar and cause the selloff of purchased bays. (see below)

NOTE: If a player does not have sufficient cbills to pay the tax, the client will automatically sell off ALL of a player's rented bays. This will leave the player with negative bays (potentially in the dozens) and with no cbills.
The player will not be able to play. You are advised to watch your hangar rental costs and bays. The way to avoid this is to maintain sufficient cbills to pay for your costs, even if you salvage units. As well as to keep some bays open to absorb salvage. This requires discipline while purchasing and playing with a balanced hangar. (or limiting oneself to less than 6 full armies)

LITTLE THINGS
--------------

Scrapping and donating is now more expensive. Scrapping is 2x the cost of a unit, donating costs on average about 45% of the cost of a unit.
Force mod has been turned off.
Vehicle ops can now use upto 4 infantry of any type.

'''Team Operations.''' have been removed due to lack of interest and confusion in peoples attack options.

'''! IMPORTANT NOTES !'''
# The Penalty for finishing Operations without enough bv destroyed was increased dramatically. On the other hand, Payouts for properly played games are better now.
# Units that are pushed off the map have a chance to get scrapped or salvaged. This is to discourage edge-camping.
# To discourage min-maxing, armies that are only legal for conquest operations do not count towards Production. Building balanced armies is encouraged.
# Counterattacks are disabled.
# Operations for Conqust Factions have an ELO-adjustment. This means that all payout may vary depending on the rating of the participating players
# Victory Conditions "BV Ratio Percent" and "Destroy Enemy BV" are enabled for all operations and both must be met to trigger an automatic Victory.
# ALL Games are Double Blind.
# Support Unit tag is no longer in use. If they were, they would not count towards the BV spread.
