So for a while now Ive had 70 missiles. Not bad, I know. Actually it is the maximum...devaluing my warfare tech (like 4.5% @ 15k acres) to whatever I can sell it for. I realize having a missile limit is logical so that alliances dont gather huge amounts of chems and kill each other off like nothing, but perhaps having a way of defusing your own missiles to allow production of other missiles would be appropriate. Of course I could just shoot them at some unsuspecting country but that takes turns and just creates suiciders and as a good RAGEr I dont want to make people suiciders :)

And if the missile cap wasnt to prevent those huge missile fses then Im actually wondering why its there anyways...

because it was in Earth 2025 ? heh

It's mainly to balance the FS's though, I think yea...

actually on consideration....

its probably to make it so you can't have a 1A country with a few dozen tech points of warfare sit and cash turns all set making missiles, then buy up some military and destroy a few people with hundreds of missiles....

at earth2025 there was cap on missiles based on land.

yes, that is the current situation as well.

Wouldn't a cap based on NW make more sense?

possibly, but don't you need thousands of acres of midwest-farmland to put your missile silos in? :)

There's an idea! missile silo buildings!

what would they do though?

allow you to have one more missile per silo you have; and every X silos (call it 100 or something) allows you to fire an extra missile per turn! :)

no? heh

how about for whatever % of your land is covered in silos you can get that % more missiles than base max, or you get missiles than much more often AND can have more...

would be interesting haha

Missile silos could increase the number of missile that you could hold and increase the max production (would still need warfare tech) and/or missile damage.

then we would see farmers with alot silos.

I agree the missile cap is too low. It should be 20% higher ;)

I would be alright with a fundamental change in missiles - you need silos to store them, to increase cap, to produce them or any combination of those effects. Missile market would be interesting as long as missile production remains a random process. There should not be a private market for missiles. Any of those things would be interesting. Would work better if SDI had a cap > 100.

Well there is a land limit for missiles, it is currently 200A/missile I think but Ive had room for 85+ missiles but I was stuck at 70. Networth would make sense, although thatll take some thinking to do...the silo idea isnt bad even though when I play techer I wont like to make the tough decision :P

Afaik its 250A per missile these days

i have had over 130 missiles but i had 20-30k acres and i kept warf whole set around 3.5-4%.
