killer fleets?

[Cameron07]

is it just me or has anyone else hit as many as i have this round.. i mean i hit one almost every day taking out a ship.. i hit one today.. i had over 2 bil fp.. and took on a 700 mil power mission and it took out my 3rd ship which was 460 mil fp.. and the mission shouldn't have been that high power anyways.. it was only supposed to be around 200 mil power

A mothership contract can gain 3x as much power as the credit worth of the contract.

I dont care about weaker ship loses, only when like in the past your entire fleet got wiped out :S

ive also ran into fleets this round where my total fp is 3x as big as the mission and 3 out of 4 ships still gets knocked out

Also, there are different levels of difficulty based on the fleet cost calculator maximum fleet cost allowed for the enemy fleets.

For example, encryption missions are the safest, encounters / Reavers / others after them.

Mothership contracts are the hardest because they depend on difficulty, choosing a 255% difficulty not only increases the rewards, but it also increases the multiplier for the maximum cost of the enemy fleets depending on the difficulty, making the killer fleets more often in higher difficulty mothership contracts...

Been doing better this round than last, but largely staying away from Mothers, although have lost some lower level ships to killer fleets in Encounters.
