Change History

I think it's too easy to quickly change strategies with unit reclaiming, say a bombing run then reclaiming all the aircraft for no M loss while the opponent makes AA. Base defence often consists of making llts then reclaiming them for no M loss which I don't like.

Game is very reclaim-centric atm

I'm not entirely convinced the con time and energy loss isn't a big enough penalty.

Energy can be a big factor, you probably get like 20-30% loss (assuming 1:3-1:5 overdrive ratio)

I find it interesting as an option. As long as it isn't a must to reclaim then its fine imo.

There is still E and BP loss. I don't think reclaiming large parts for the base is common.

People also make errors. Click for adv fusion instead of normal one. Or you (partially) build the wrong factory at start and reclaimed it to build another (at very start, no units build yet). In such situations the game would be over (M, E, BP penalty and you lack expansion).

We also want to reduce wreckage metal, remove rezz etc. At some point all the changes will make wreckages useless, we might want to think about removing wreckages at all?
