As of now, Fearless blue is running at the pace of 6 game months per day.
The start times for the 6 runs are:
3:20 GMT
9:20 GMT
13:20 GMT
16:20 GMT
19:20 GMT
23:20 GMT
(same start times as on Little Upsilon).
As you can see, there is a 6 hour gap between 3:20 GMT and 9:20 GMT which leaves us time for management runs and upgrades when needed. This gap is the same on all the worlds.
Interest on loans is updated and although there will be 6 interest payments per day, the total will remain the same.
Several additional updates of Fearless Blue:
The spending limit is increased by about 100%. Its computation, as before, depends on recent purchases and accumulates and it depends on the population of the country and the total spending.
The military spending limit is also increased by the same percentage. Also here, the spending limit depends on recent purchases and on the population of the country.
We should all realize that with space trading and shortly also more direct trading, and with shuttles moving products between worlds, spending limits have a smaller impact than before.
The maximum fighting quality of military units on FB is increased to 300 while the max quality of weapons and ammunition in the units can now reach quality level 350.
War protection on FB
Temporary war protection was initially created to allow players to go on vacation or just not login for some time and help protect their countries.
To enable this function, each country gets one game month of temporary war protection for each 10 months in the game. It is one day in ten and more than one real month per year.
Such war protection is automatically added to the country and builds up in time. It is free of any charge for everyone. There is no need to spend gold coins.
On top of this, we allow more temporary war protection as a booster. These booster require gold coins.
Starting in three weeks, before the end of July, we will make the temporary war protection on FB harder to obtain and increase the price of the booster.
The intention is to prevent the use of temporary war protection and make FB a world where war is part of life.
This measure will be tried for several weeks and if not effective enough, there will be more changes to restrict the use of temporary war protection on FB. |
