Re: Scheduled server downtime - 2016-02-10

Just a thought:

Agent A earns solo 50m/h and 3000 tokens/h
Agent B earns solo 50m/h and 3000 tokens/h

Agent A and Agent B decide to join forces and do missions together. Combined they make 60m/h and 3300 tokens/h.

Agent A and B part their ways and do missions solo for higher income.


Conclusion:
1. Tokens must be shared between participating agents
2. Reward increase per member must be higher so each agent makes AT LEAST as much as they make solo

It's mostly a matter of balancing now.

Now now Jasdemi, old Hungarian proverb says, "to which doest the mission faster?  10 doers or 1?"

Hence I mentioned income/hour. It wouldn't matter if 2 agents do missions twice as fast, as long as each of them makes a little more PER HOUR than solo.

Start increasing the "reward increase per member" individually for each mission type until we reach a fair, worthwhile balance.

150 mill an hour is pretty good though.  You can get a black heavy in like 17 to 18 hours of farming!

Too good probably. Harvesting missions yield ~50% more NIC and about 500% more tokens than combat missions.

Mission payout should balance based on the average time of completion for that mission type and level. As a rough rule of thumb I don't think there is anything wrong with the max solo payout around a hundred mil an hour and 4000 tokens.

That should be 25 hours to a black bot if my maths is right :-)
