Heya!

I would like to ask a technical question, i would prefer only people who actually know about the stuff answer, but of course everyone is welcome to discuss :)

Its actually 2 questions:

1) How has IC2 cabling changed in the newer versions? (saw on dw20 they no longer carry infinite packages, etc)

2) Has it migrated, or always been, in a TE conduit/duct style of "network with in/outs" instead of the BC style of "each block transmits power to the next"?

Sorry i dont have the vocabulary for all this.... i hope you can understand :)

IC2 energy networks are undergoing a major change. It's hard to say, at this point, where they will shake out in terms of being like anything else. They used to be BC style and transmit power in packets to each piece of cable down the line, incurring loss depending upon the type and length of cable. This left it up to the player to design an energy network that wasn't lossy or laggy (the two major complaints about IC2's power network). The redesign, from my understanding of changelogs and comments is that they are trying to address those two complaints.

If you want to see the very latest on what they're playing around with in the experimental builds, check here: http://ic2api.player.to:8080/job/IC2_experimental/changes

I don't think there are new versions. And it works like this: each generated packet is split between all available consumer inverse-proportionally to EU loss on the way to them (or 0.1 EU, if loss is smaller). So, if
