I posted the last update on the 18th.  Can you not see that one, or any of them?  And is anyone else having this problem?

Something nuked the settings.php which necessitated me reinstalling SMF. Most everything seemed to come through okay, except a log of the fiction.

The body content is there. I think last time this happened, I had to change the encoding.

Let me dig around some and see if I can find what I did.

Aaaaand we're fixed. Nothing to see here. Move along. These are not the droids you are looking for.

Your Planetary Defence Centre "Final Line" has box launchers. Never tried these in a PDC. What is the reload time for them? Manual or Hangar?

Holy cow, the pounding that Earth is taking.

And poor Lunar & Martian colonists!

They are standard box launchers, so Hangar reload is 120 minutes, MF reload is 20 hours.  Obviously they can only be used once per attack.  They are an unusual design for me.  While I have used box launchers on PDC's before, usually I'll build one or two with lots of box launchers, to handle massive attacks.  These were a desperation move, to add additional surge capacity to my missile bases, when I thought that the Dregluk were going to try to bull their way through my missile envelope and attack at short range with particle beams.  Each Final Line base was small enough that it could be built in one five-day turn increment, meaning that I could complete them before the main Dregluk fleet arrived.  Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint, the Dregluk instead have attacked with missiles and the Final Line bases have never been used.  Especially as they can't use the latest Bludgeon LRASM's as their fire controls have a max range of around 40,000,000 kilometers.

Humanity has taken it on the chin, that's for sure.  I don't think I've ever had a race take this much of a pounding and continue on.

Sorry, wasn't clear in my last post, what I wanted to know. I read that those are the reloading times, but was unsure, which of both is chosen for the box launchers in a PDC. 120 minutes or 20 hours?

I ran a test on this, as I wasn't completely sure of the answer.  As I suspected, the box launcher will recharge in 120 minutes.  If the PDC was on a planet, moon, or asteroid without maintenance facilities then I suspect it would use the 20 hour figure.

Looks to me like things are reaching a stabilization point though, you seem to have dialed in on the AMM tactics needed and can even do a little bit of damage now if the enemy isn't careful, all you really need is time to build missile stocks and then the massive investment to rebuild all the damage.

Yes, that's pretty much true.  The one real problem is the lasting problems caused by the radiation from the bombardment.  I'd like to begin moving things to another colony, like Mars, to avoid the industrial penalty from radiation, but right now I can only defend Earth.

Okay, this isn't right.  After launching, the Final Line's box launchers show that they will take 120 minutes to reload, but in reality they take 20 hours, as they should given they are not in a hanger and are using maintenance facilities (MF) to reload.  Aurora displays the incorrect time to reload, but it takes them 20 hours so Aurora is doing it correctly, even if it isn't displaying it right.

Political machinations at a time of crisis? Humanity shows its best side once again  ;D

Honest question - do you really think you can stop the Dregluk without SM assistance, at least with radiation/dust levels on Earth?
