Can someone please explain the meaning of Fleet Upkeep and Fleet Supply? and the effect of this tech area?
The manual states:
"While initially there is no upkeep to maintaining your fleets, as you research in this tree the cost of operating more forces will increase."
So... why on terra would I research this tree if the operating costs for my fleets are going to increase.
"This Upkeep penalty is deducted from your resources as a tax against credits, metal and crystal production."
The example is current 47%, next 56%. Does this mean I am losing 47% of my credit, metal & crystal to the maintenance of my fleet? Again, why would I want to increase this percentage?!
Thanks
