You can approximate it very easily based on a few assumptions, assumptions that are usually wrong(but hopefully close), and thus the approximation is not the exact answer.

The math is done for every landgrab you make for one country, and that is fine, but if the server has to do it for up to 61 countries each time you press the link to the scores list it starts to become computationally heavy. Or when it updates the database of every country on every server so that API's can grab it. It would be something like 3000-3500 countries to be calculated at once and the DR of every hit of the last 72 hours on each of those 3000+ countries has to be calculated. Thats probably 15-30k hits normally (when there are no big wars going on). And then we have not even gotten into the C:C DR, which would have to be calculated for every hit all reset on every country pair separatly; that could be another 100-200k hits. Each of those hits will have to be recalculated at least every 3 or 5 minutes (however often the scores database is updated on the server) as they each will have changed through the DR formula.

I almost titled my post “ask for donations to keep servers running” but thought it was too narrow given some other items I listed. I know people have offered to pay to buy EE before. And I know many people are interested in seeing it do better. So, yes, what does it cost?

computing DR for every country in the scorelist is very expensive computationally. no chance we'll be doing that :p

spyop is more reasonable

I updated the forum too so you can pepper the other thoughts on there

Keep less of everything or kill the second restarts restart bonus seems like a good middle ground. I dont think that voting is a good way to settle this since most players don't actually understand the game enough to see what effect potential changes will have.

It depends. Jets can also attack Navy and vice versa.

There are several with more than that in a single country.

Your calculator is broken.

It doesnt have enough 0's allowed in the food column. :)

nothing personal sean.. but u the guys u run with are gunna get u killed..simple as that. sorry if we ruined ur netting set.. but lets be honest.. we couldnt wait to FS on team.. therefore please suicide us on team.. threaten us with a good time

You should learn to net without farming and retaling retals, just a thought!
