You lack the practical experience with leading a corporation and/or alliance, and building Gamma islands to talk to Jita or Ville on the same level.

It's nice that you have an opinion on everything, unfortunately without practical experience it's worth about as much the paper it's written on.

I cant make a new corporation, because I got this error message with all names: "The name has been taken."

With another changes, the beacon terraforming is doable I think. Or I dont see any big problems with that, if we will have painted terraform zones, and degradable terraforms.

Maybe in one time we will get back that.

My std energy wells lasted about 4 days with a defense base setup.

stand alone production base looks like 6 days.

if your base runs out of energy things that require power like auras, boosters, facilities, run your reactor dry and the only energy you have is what's stored in turrets. 

What I see happening is huge stocks of cryoperine being shipped to gamma, everyday its fed into the reactors and the mining wells are used as "backup power".

afk bases are a thing of the past...

Your can't make an afk base period.

I would go into great lengths how to cripple an afk base, but that would require me telling you what took me 30 seconds to use as a work around.

yep, and when you consider the increased energy consumption of your turrets (by two factors) and the fact that you would need to work with unboosted ones, that someone could drain empty without creating an alarm, not only with ewar turrets.

the thing i have not yet figured out, is if energy wells continue to exploit the deposit in case the energy is not necessary. I have seen that their energy output droping relative to the number of tiles with ore in their reach.

ontop of that, the energy deposits are relatively RARE, as seen in zooms earlier pictures. just like with artifacts, it can happen that they concentrate all in one corner of the island, the one far away of from your base. a roaming sequer with plasmabombs can ruin your power supply.

funny enough - an energy well produces 100AP/s max... an afk tyrannos can push 50AP/s into your reactor, forever

I wonder how many long range heavies does it take to outpace a single repair node. Given that you can add five are we talking fleets of 30+?

As the first post says, "Energy wells stop exploiting energy if all the reactors in the network are full, in order to not waste it."

I'll have to log on when I get from work to check but when I last visited battery bandwidth was crazy low.

there is your experienced gamma player.
a T3 turret has only 5 incomming connections, means you can only add 4 repair nodes. T1 only has 3 such conncetions, you you are talking about max 2 repair nodes on one turret.
and then, this turret consumes more energy energy per 30 seconds then a t1 energy node could provide, if its connected to multiple turrets with the same drain.

the thing most of you probably missed, is the reduction of T1 battery OUTGOING connections from 5 to 2.

the other thing some here still missing - upon a gamma vets demand, turrets do not stop shooting when their LoS is blocked by plants. so you can hide behind plants and stuff until the turrets ran out of accumulator. I think they don't even stop when you hide behind indestructible stuff.

See, the sad thing is that I don't know anymore whether that's sarcasm or not

It's going to be good.
