No. Think about it. game is porcy. fusion/geo radius was decreased but it pointless if pylon range was increased but still cheap as hell to spam...what the point in targeting a pylon? if it replacement can be instantly replaced.

Then players will just spam solars. If you reduce solar radius, then solar chains become impossible and your pylon becomes necessary. The new experiment being planned is a smaller, low-cost low-radius non-blocking pylon.

To make games less porcy: make all defences require minimal grid. Like 2e power requirement for llt, so you can run a tiny porc fortress with a single solar.

This will delay onset of porc (requiring that "rush to middle and porc" strategy to also create power support there), make porc easier to disrupt, and economy will likely either be placed in more vulnerable positions (to fuel the porc), or heavily centralized with vulnerable pylon grid extending everywhere to be sniped, leading to massive cascading grid failures :P

Suggest something more original, like making pylon EMP all connected energy structures (only in pylon's grid circle) for amount of time ~proportional to output that was transmitting through the pylon. (this way pylon's cost might be even reduced, since it will become dangerous not to spam it)
Muhaha.

game is porcy because you play shit maps and/or 15vs15. Games 1vs1-4vs4 on proper maps are not porcy but full of action.

Wind and solar chains are more cost efficient than pylons even with a current 200 cost. Because they pay for themselves ovr time. And solar chains are much more raid resistant and cheaper to repair.

Games are porky because players just sit and wank and are unable to force themselves to build arty.

Not that any of it have something to do with a topic tho.
