Resource Wars - What will the new Industry be? Aircrafts?
•
by Marcelaxy
Currently countries are fighting for resources of a new Industry we don't even know what it will be.
This is very irritating for those who are planning for the future.
This is why I am writing this article. To exchange speculations and maybe even insider-information.
The only thing the admins told us is:
"The new Industry will significantly change the way the battles are fought and allow new users to matter from their first days, without impacting the fun of the loyal players base."
I also have a theory about what the new industry could be.
First of all, let's analyze the resources used for the industry.
[Titanium]: A light metal with a high tensile strength. Oftenly used in aeronautics and astronautics.
[Magnesium]: A metal of very low density (1,75g/cm³ Water: 1g/cm³) with a low melting point and highly reactive (inflammable). Used oftenly in alloys to build (air) vehicles (engines/chassis).
[Cobalt]: A ferromagnetic, heavy metal. Used for megnetic alloys, but also for super alloys, batteries and gas turbines.
[Neodynium]: A metal used to create really strong magnets. These are required to build electric motors or generators.
[Wolfram]: This one is interesting and makes guessing hard. It is a very heavy metal with an extremely high melting point. The uses are: Tool steel, kinetic energy projectiles, turbine blades and light bulbs.
What do we have? Light metals, heavy metals used for magnets, (air) vehicle engines, chassis and gas turbines.
My educated guess is that the new industry will be a travelling industry with Aircrafts, but maybe also other kinds of vehicles depending on the quality.
The quality of the vehicle could determine the "distance" it can travel.
Also it could change other values like a health loss, maybe even a travelling time. This would fit great to the new calculation of the travel costs using RL-distances.
Example: Let's say with a Q5 Aircraft you can travel up to 100.000km and you do travels of each 9500km. This means you can travel 10x this route and for the 11th time you travel the first 5000km with your current aircraft before using the next one.
The current moving tickets would propably be migrated to the new traveling method.
What does this have to do with newbies and battles? No Idea.
Another possibility which would deal with that would be something like a bazooka-industry.
Or it will be an industry to produce electric energy with (gas turbines + generator). This energy could be used to boost stats temporarily - like a booster or I don't know... maybe something else.
Keep in mind that what I told about the upcoming new industry are only theories. I neither have insider-knowledge nor I am surely 100% smart enough to think of every possible industry given by these resources.

That is an interesting idea, I wouldn't mind if that was what they were planning.
I am thinking the new resources will be for boosters of some sort - similar to that Ghost Booster which lets you temporarily get more strength. The different boosters will be able to be active for different amount of times and you can turn them on and off like houses. Possibly they have different effects depending on quality or the type of battle that is going on (which would make it more strategic). I cannot think how the developers would significantly change the way battles are fought without a much larger change to the game like having different types of MUs or a new type of battle.
This is a good idea. maybe they give us the Ghost Boosters for free now to get used to them and let us produce our own Ghost Boosters later.
The only problem I see is that these Boosters/this Industry would be in direct competition with the weapons industry...
However if flying across half the world would take like 5h, this would change battles a lot, because you can't just spontaneously move to another battle, but have to stick with the battles available in your current position/near proximity...
If it took time to move with these vehicles they would have to do something about moving tickets I think :/
It`s a plausible thing, that aircrafts.
The quality of the vehicle could determine the "speed" it can travel. I said.
Wolfram was used for making the cannonn's muzzle.

For me there are 3 theories about the new industry:
1.Aircrafts
2.Industry that's linked to the weapon industry
3.Heavy industry
please not travelling plhegh . the west involved travelling basically your playing the whole day then.
could be for spacecraft 😃
you know... we kindda spent too much time invading each others, now we can invade some aliens... or get invaded by aliens and all that crap...
but I doubt anyone had these ideas in erep labs 😛
Hope, you let me present you ideas to russian speaking players.
