Talk:Alliance Depot

I was wondering what this building adds at each level. The text in the game is not coherent, but there does seem to be some significance of the building's level. A note/edit/whatever to explain why one would want to upgrade this would be appreciated.

this adds 10k deut per level (per hour) to the amount possible to send up to the fleets in orbit :).

So it is, or isn't possible to hold fleets longer than 32 hours?

You can only hold on a planet for 32 hours. 65.191.202.3 20:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody know why the alliance depot option doesn't show up in the tech page on uni8?

An Alliance Depot is where a friendly fleet can be re-fueled with your deuterium, allowing them to remain at your planet. This building is only available in universes where Alliance Combat System is enabled. These are universes 5, 8, 18 and higher.

apparently Universe 8 is NOT an ALLIANCE COMBAT SYSTEM....

So is this building any use at all? :P -Fubar 128.178.8.188 08:42, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

So let me get this straight: let's say I have level X alliance depot. This means that I can send up X times 10000 deuterium per hour to fleet stationed in orbit. Does that amount get substracted from my deuterium tanks? Does this mean, that if the orbiting fleet consumes more than X times 10000 deut per hour, they can't stay for a full hour, but if they consume less, they can stay indefinetly (up to a max. of 32 hours)? So the only reason to upgrade it is to support a larger orbiting fleet? Lordyoyo 21:36, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

in answer to your question, yes, the reason for upgrade is to hold bigger fleets. Also, in my universe the Deut. sent is 20,000; so, the amounnt per upgrade goes up another 20,000 per level=meaning the servers differ on the Deut. amount sent 98.251.133.75 03:27, May 17, 2012 (UTC)Strongrule

There is something i don't understand. Regularly, when a fleet is sent to stay in a planet's orbit, the necessary amount of deuterium is automatically loaded to the fuel tanks. So, what's the role of the Alliance Depot here? Is it checked that the target planet has an alliance depot and if so, is the amount of the depot's supportive abilities subtracted from necessary deuterium in mission screen? Except for fuel necessary for the flight, of course.
