Dear Admins.
In Theory we want a realation of resources from 4 2 1.
We all can live with.
Reality shows different. Because Amortization is near same
Mineral than Metall, mineral production is much less.
And because costs of new buildings highest price is mostly metall
I already have 4 metall to 2 mineral production.
After amortization its 4 to 1 ! ! ! ! ! (metall mineral)
Than fuel costs grow. But I wanted to attack enemy.
So I builded up all my vespene mines. ( Near all had same Problem
and did same )
So I have now a production from 4 1 2 ( metall mineral vespene )
The Solution is simple. Just balance metall well and similar mineral thing up.
Or ( I know you do not want - less fuel costs. )
or make metal and mineral mine upgrades cheaper.
All other solutions like cutting ship amounts or production just make us loosing fun in game.
This game is worthless without the possibility to attack enemy.
Instead of cutting ship amounts to 10 % like you plan,
it would also make sence to expand the galaxy in all direction like vasya wanted
( BigGuns would hate )
or to get back x5 factor by attacking Protection ( BigGuns would hate, too )
90% of your Player would have more fun !.
PS: Rember, the relation 421 got lost because your fuel cost balance.
All your planed on Top changes just make it more BAD. ! ! !
