Why aren't my biner beacon and shield gen not working in a war?

[unborn moon]

When the war started and I saw I was on defence I immediately activated my beacon and shield but when I got attacked and saw the replays they were both turned off, last time I checked biner beacon and shield gen not working in a war was not part of the modifiers list. -_-

The combiner beacon and shield generator need to be activated BEFORE the war begins

Bruh why though like I don't wanna waste 2 mil alloy and 10 ore 13 just to not be in defence

They should add something like a prep time or sum

When an officer starts a war the game takes a snapshot of your base as it was during that precise moment.

Just get in the habit of keeping them charged. You can charge them for up to 48 hours

Bruh how? I am always capped on alloy and have a load of ore 13

It's not a waste, it's an investment.

Really? I mean I get why… still stupid though, It’s rare that I’m on defense so most of the time it does get wasted…

Put in a ticket about this a while back, guess now I see why I never got an answer

I mean the comb beacon isn’t too hard to charge, it’s the shield that sucks

[lament sail]

Ore 13 isn’t usually a hassle for me, the Alloy is however…

I’ll probably shift my energon to finally maxing my Alloy harvs then

Build up a few power cores to fuse in the meantime to fuse in bulk as opposed to as I get them like I’ve been doing…

In the not too distant future, it will be the only thing you spend Alloy on.

There's also the Alliance HQ to spend Alloy on.
