Manufactory Rapid Deployment Radio Level 6 - did not reduce spawn time

[Cool Guy]

Spent a lot of time and effort getting this particular munition to level 6, and it is applied to my Garrisons. On reaching level 6 the spawn times for 1st and subsequent spawns remained the same time as on level 5.

What is happening here?

Where is the cap limit shown? And why offer a benefit if you can't use it?

no, the reduced spawn time from the munitions are applied regardless of the dst vs edst comparison between defender and striker.

Official explanation from Big Huge Games - there is an 85% cap on benefits. I haven't seen this anywhere in any of the game rules.

If this is the case, my second spawn reduction time is currently sitting on 60%. Why didn't the munition reduce this time?

If there is an 85% cap, by the time people get to manufacture the Emergency Alert System, the very first benefit will not work. What is the point of this item?

Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your inquiry, we would like to inform you that the benefits of Defender Spawn Time for Garrisons, Bunkers, and Stable/Tank Depot is capped at 85%. We will take your concern as feedback and forward it to our game team for further review. If you have any other concerns, feel free to contact us again.

The message here is, don't bother with munitions that lower your spawn times. If you already have all the existing spawn perks, you will probably be on the 85% cap. And this cap applies to the first spawn, and won't allow a benefit on the second spawn time, even if this time hasn't met the 85% cap.

So my experience here is with the Rapid Deployment Radio as I am only Atomic level. By the time you are high enough to unlock the Emergency Alert System, the spawning benefits will be useless.

If these caps had been displayed clearly somewhere in the game, I could have concentrated my efforts on another munition and not wasted a lot of time on this one.
