SO Main - PvP incentives

- Sell ship cost value is 50% - 90% of the purchase cost, depending on the resupply bonus

- the reserved ships worth now count as credits power
- marines count as credits / workers power, whether on reserve fleets or not

- when a marined fleet is destroyed, 70%-90% of the marines on board will espace in pods and regroup at your secret base. They will become workers. Workers can be trained to become marines from the Resupply Marines room.

- marines killed in boarding action are lost, only the marines that where on the ships of the fleet that exploded could survive.
   -> example: Fleet has 1000 ships containing 1.000.000 marines. Fleet enhanges boarding battle, and loses 100 ships.
   -> 100.000 marines on the 100 ships destroyed try to get to the escape pods. 70%-90% succeed, let's say 80% => 80.000 marines are rescued and sent to secret base.
   -> fleet with 900 ships now, engages boarding action and 200.000 marines are lost. On fleet there are 700.000 marines left.
   -> fleet enganges further battle and 200 ships are lost. Still 700.000 marines left on 700 ships.
   -> fleet take fire again and 200 more ships are lost. 200.000 marines try and get to the escape pods.
   etc.

- at the end of the PvP battle, marines lost / rescued details are shown/ Log entry is made for workers amount when marines are rescued

- you now have to ability to choose between workers / credits when resupplying your ships with marines

- station combat full report can be accessed now via the View Logs

the ability to make workers into marines is awesome, and i like how the marines are escaping. nice update and at least what ive done with it so far seems to be working

- station combat full report can be accessed now via the View Logs

Should be implemented on all servers.
Sounds good though

yay do the workers get discounted the same way?

Nope, workers are just retrained as marines, no discounts involved. This is normal since it wouldn't be realistic if you trained 1 worker into 2 marines... that would be cloning

However, if you hire the marines with credits say you have 50% bonus, you train 1 mil marines using 0.5 mil credits. If the marines escape in pods, you now have 1 mil workers that you can retrain as marines 1 for 1. So indirectly, you can say marine resupply bonus does play a role in it too...

fair enough.

you sure we havent reached cloning yet?
