[DoCA] An Airman's Arsenal

So, now that we've talked about battles and sh medals. The only thing left to talk about is the new changes to the industry system with the new update.
The most obvious thing added are the Q1 Missiles added as the first edition to weapons for air battles.

Shown below.


I do have to say that I do not believe these things are really worth buying unless you have nothing else to spend money on or you want a little bit more damage for an important battle or SH medal.
Currently my dps per hit is 68 with no weapon as a Flight Lieutenant*** and with weapons it only raises by 13 to 81.
The current price of a Q1 missile is around 30cc on most days and they break after one use.
Q1 ground weapons only cost 0.18 cc for comparison and do the exact same thing. The value of these q1 missiles will definitely fall when they release the rest of the weapons so I would not advise on saving them to sell or putting much money into air weapon factories at the moment.


However, that brings me to the second subject which are the new industry additions in the recent patch. They add both a weapons factory and a weapons raw materials plant. They both are created the same way as the older plants and they both are upgraded the same. However, the biggest difference I can see if that you cannot work as a manager in any of either factories or plants.
But is it worth it to buy one of these plants or factories to sell? From what I can tell, unless you are a commune with a $1 salary it really isn't. If you follow the current job market in the us which is between 190-200cc per click it will never be worth it. Even if you’re just selling the raw materials, using the arm to make missiles, or just buying arm to produce missiles it will never be worth producing them per click at the current market prices and they will most assuredly fall in prices when q2-7 missiles are put into the game.


So that's about it for the new air update, not much is that different to be quite honest. The biggest difference for those that still play this game is that air battles bring a brand new way to try and matter in battles but other than that its more of the same in my eyes.
