killer fleets

[Zingaro]

I've been hit with bad luck twice today it seems. Once was doing a lvl 3 encrpt with less fp (was doing lvl 4's with no problem)than me and got pulverized and then again doing a mothership mission of 174%( was doing 250% with no problem). I thought I read somewhere that these fleets weren't out there anymore.....guess I was wrong there.

Different ships give different attack, a single fleet swarmer will give way more attack then 7 fleets of midsize ships.

and mothership missions are very dangerous anyways, and you probably had your fleet cost calculator on... or you could have leveled up in between doing missions... when you level up mothership missions get alot harder

You shouldn't do missions that are more than your Fleetpower if you are worried about losing ships.

there is still a chance per mission that you will actually hit a what is called a killer fleet. there are many factors that fall into play.at the lower levels it is easy to do those large % missions. as you and your ships gain exp. your total power / FP go up etc. the ratios of a killer flleet happing increases. There has to be some kind of check in the system for the rampent growth. other wise the person that does that most missions will win and the skill of the commander will not come into play at all. this is a check to slow down those with deep pockets and lots of time on thier hands and no real skills.
