So recently, Cargonoia got a fancy new toy named ASRS (Automatic Supply Retrieval System).
Here's what was changed:
- Free random crates ordered by the ASRS system will come in periodically
- Crates no longer give as much points, but you will still get them
- Requisition's now has it's own pad (in the form of Echo pad), but it takes longer to recharge compared to Staff Officer Pads
- You will no longer get requisition points over time (You still get points via stamping crate manifests and Sending crates in)
- Requisitions no longer gets the free starting AP and Extended magazine boxes (you still get the grenade boxes, and single mags)
Over the course of the rounds that i've played (so far) we've gotten Free AP, Claymores, more metal and sandbags then i'd normally order, M56D Mounted SG, UAC Sentries, enough spare SG sets to make a new SG crew if we had people with skills and god knows how many grenades, all for FREE.
Honestly, this new system is really friggin strong. Like this would (probably) never happen with the old req system. But I do somewhat like this gives the cargo team something to do, that isn't bumming around the ship doing nothing until called upon.
Granted from the looks of it (by the fact the changelog has it marked under the testing symbol), it will most likely be changed sometime soon. Honestly, i'd just remove the chance for free explosives and defensive equipment and then leave it as is. How would you try and improve ASRS to be more balanced?
