So artillery(and its ammo) is now bound to Vulcanus continous tungsten imports..?

SO much for self-sufficient Nauvis long range defense then...
So how do you manage this? Maybe after enabling foundation, maybe doing megabase in vulcanus better instead Nauvis? Then you don't need defense anyway?

Interplanetary logistics. You're supposed to set up a trade network. Or at least sending things back and forth with a hub planet.

You have to do that anyways, so that you can do all the research.

where you want to setup your "main" is up to you, at the end you will have to ship stuff from planet to planet to get things going :)
i dont have a issue with shipping tungsten to gleba/nauvis to support the defense, but with the rocket/tesla/railgun i LOVE to see the bugs get eaten by my defense

Why a megabase? Platforms are no different from trains, set up a constant supply chain.

I get what they were going for, space platforms acting like trains with logistics setups to/from planets as stations, but it's a really obtuse system. A friend and I have thousands of hours between us in the game, and still found it painfully complicated to work through. And that's not even considering the need to design and test the platforms themselves.

Yea I don't like it. I think instead of doing that there shouldve been new tech that required the material rather than gating old tech.

It's not that difficult, it took me 2 hours to make a 111 ton platform that burns 300 ammo (damage 6) to take stuff from Fulgora to Nauvis.

I think with legendary solar accumulators i will be using improved new electric guns. So no need to setup artillery anymore. Like "FISSION" reactor stuff, they should have implemented lower LOCAL version obviously so, they would leave to choice to us.
