DUST Search - [BUG] Not able to attack a district after winning first attack and loosing the 5...

If the attack wins the first battle and looses the automatic re-up they are not given a 1 hour window to reinitialize their attack and because of this the defender is given the 48 hour window as well as 1 day of clone regeneration.

DISTRICT SAFE AFTER DEFENCE
As it stands if you are defending a district and successfully defeating the attackers they can still attack. This means if someone has the money to burn they can just keep attacking you until the defenders just burn out after having no break. Here is what we are changing in Uprising 1.3:

As an attacker you will no longer be able to launch a follow up attack until after a battle ends
As an attacker you can only launch a follow up attack after you have won a battle
The time frame is still 1 hour from the start of the battle however. So if a battle takes 30 minutes you have 30 minutes after it ends to launch the follow up attack.

What this effectively means is that if the defenders win the earliest the next battle can happen is about 47 hours later, instead of 23 in the current system. This means a break from defending the district and also an extra reinforcement cycle of clones.

The first part of this change (attackers only being able to launch a follow up attack after a battle ends), is live on our Tranquility server for DUST players right now. The second part, (only being able to re-attack if you have won), is coming with the rest of the changes detailed in this dev blog.

Yes that is by design, which we cover in our latest developer blog: http://dust514.com/news/2013/07/balancing-the-conquest-of-planets/ Quote: DISTRICT SAFE AFTER DEFENCE As it stands if you are defending a district and successfully defeating the attackers they can still attack.

If you lose the reup battle then that counts as a defence so the attacker has to wait out the hour from the start of that battle before they can attack again. The attack would then happen 2 days later instead of 1 day.

Or will their be no clone regen at all? I looked at the dev blog and it didn't really cover what happens when the attacker looses the 5 minute re-up, it only states that the defender if they loose the first battle should not get any clone regen at all. Taken from the dev blog on attacking: This means battles will have the following possible outcomes: The defender wins. Any new attack will follow the normal rules of attack and require a minimum of 24 hours notice before happening. The attacker wins and the defender has 0 clones remaining. The attacker takes control of the district. The attacker wins, still has 100 or more clones, and the defender still has clones. Another battle will begin in 5 minutes, The attacker wins, has less than 100 clones, and the defender still has clones. Attackers clones go home and the attacker has an exclusivity period of 1 hour from the time the final battle began to launch a follow up attack. There is, however, a lingering question. Does the district still generate clones on the next reinforcement cycle if the defenders lose a battle and then win the second battle? The answer is no. If a battle is lost the district will not generate clones on the next reinforcement cycle.

Also I find it strange that loosing the re-up causes a loss of exclusivity on the attack, basically the rules for that sedond battle seems very confusing at the moment. The defender will get one RT worth of clones because they won the second battle (which means you will have to wait 47 hours before the next battle itself begins). It's only fair since they won a battle, too.

So only one new batch of clones will be produced in that time.
