We need to overhaul portals and portal fueling

Portals are a luxury.

I run around 20 portals, most of them are 2x1, a couple 2x2 and a single 4x2 and I can fuel them pretty easily. I even have oort left to sell and to craft deco blocks.

I only hunt like 40 minutes when there is a hunt happening(and I dont always attend to hunts), recently started hosting and thats the only time where I hunt for 90 minutes.

People who can’t afford to run their portals is because they have too many.

i sjut think the issue is the portal size limit for X blinksec. i think this should go away and let use the portal size we want.

Is this what you talk about?

Right now the portal fuel is not efficiently set up, by which I mean efficient for our servers and costs. Right now in the game, it is more expensive to have 1 portal that makes 5 jumps, than it is to have 5 portals each making 1 jump, encouraging chains of portals.

But for “us” it is the opposite and it is much better for our servers if there is a single portal making a big jump than lots of smaller ones (And it is also better for clients in terms of cache and network usage).

So I would be not be surprised if the fuel curve is tweaked to encourage more larger portals and fewer small ones.
