On alliance, I've been seeing consistently low ghost acres for countries where I thought they would be just coming out of their third hit in the past 24 hours, meaning ghost acres should be multiplied by 1. My current understanding of ghost DR is as follows (And I have not for the life of me been able to find any information to the contrary): The amount of hits in the past 24 hours corresponds to the following ghost DR multiplier: 1 1 1 .8 .8 etc.

However, I've made multiple hits on countries that were supposed to have just come out of ghost DR (having 2 hits or less in the past 24 hours), which judging from the returns clearly still had diminished ghost acres. For example, I had a target country which had 3 hits on it in the past 24 hours, so I waited until just enough time had passed so that it then only had 2 hits on it in the previous 24 hours, which should have meant full ghost acres. Instead, I have seen multiple times where this exact scenario resulted in .7-.8 times as many ghost acres.

I can provide several specific example of this if requested.

So I'm thinking that Ghost DR has been changed to a curve like I know normal DR was, but I can't find any information that says this in the forums or anywhere else. So is there any way that we could get the new formula for Ghost DR returns? Or is this truly a bug?

TL;DR: Ghost acres are not returning what should be expected according to my understanding of ghost DR. Any chance we can get a formula for it?
