This was mentioned in another thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...-up-cmm-production-sites.635242/post-10579443
I found it while wandering the forum and the information surprised me (and now has my plans a bit askew). I think it may be worth dedicated visibility.
Basically, I understand it to say that - once you complete a Second Tier 2 or Tier 3 Orbital station, that the ongoing orbital station costs (Tier Point Requirements) basically double. (Please correct me if I am wrong)
Thing is, I've been building out my system with an eye on the Tier 2 points so I can add a Coreolis station. While I was balancing my resources, I have also accumulated a bunch of Tier 3 points along the way. I already have 2 Orbital Outposts (which shouldn't matter) and 1 Asteroid station (which apparently does).
Effectively, I have the following:
1 Asteroid Station
3 Tier 2 Points
6 Tier 3 Points
My undertsanding is that if I pull the trigger on the Coreolis first - then an Ocellis will cost me 12 Tier 3 points (instead of 6). If I pull the trigger on the Ocellus first - then my Coreolis will cost me 5 Tier 1 points (instead of 3).
Is that correct?
I'm not really looking forward to building out an Ocellus solo, but I though I would drop it in place for long term building. The Coreolis I do want to build out near term but it appears I should probably drop the Ocellus first as the additional Tier 2 points (2) will be much easier to generate than the additional Tier 3 points (6).
In any case, I was simply going to build out the Coreolis and then let the Ocellus sit for long term activity...
Is this info correct? Any comments on my strategy would be appreciated...
