There is a difference in fleet power spawned if the alien is an Alpha, Terminator etc. A Transporter for example is the weakest and will have about 1-4%, while a Terminator would have from 18%-35%

Ok, still jacked up. My total FP is 50+bill without powerships.
Commander, this appears to be an Alien Constructor #1...
Our scientists inform us that this particular spawn is very dangerous.
They possess a very large amount of technology that we could salvage...
They also seem to be transporting valuable resources.

1-4% or 18-35% means atleast half of the aliens pays out less then if I extended my mothership. Surely that gap wasnt this high yesterday.

18%-35% of what?
18% - 35% of the finders totAlienFleetPowerWithPShipModifier = (totActiveFindersFleetPower * (totActiveFindersFleetCost / totActiveFindersFleetPower / 100) ) )   |

So, 18%-35% of total fleet power with powerships? I am confused, and becoming impatient.  What is the pship modifier? |

totAlienFleetPowerWithPShipModifier = (totActiveFindersFleetPower * (totActiveFindersFleetCost / totActiveFindersFleetPower / 100) ) ) FFP /100 Thats is Cost/100 That formula is mathematically incorrect, and makes no sense, means all the power you face is based on the cost of your ships. A correct formula would be totAlienFleetPowerWithPShipModifier = (totActiveFindersFleetCost/61) |

Ok FTP's formula looks better to me. I still think it should be the way it was. If nobody can hit what was originally thrown at us, then they need to find a different game. Making an update and then taking it back is about as dumb as doing a recall on ham sandwiches. |

And a 1% for a transport would be really useless, make transports 5% as minimum and a 35% (maybe up to 40%) for terminators sounds good.

Switch IT BACK!!! Just because some players are more adaptable than others does not mean that you should leave this MASSIVE gap between everyone in power. Nightshadow has 170 trillion credits (I hope you don't mind me saying so NS). How do suppose we are all gonna catch him with these little 5mill aliens? You have to change it back.

I calculated a pship modifier to find out the relation between the fleet power and cost, as FTP pointed out there is a direct relation between fleet cost and fleet power, and that's what is used to determine the alien spawn.
The alien spawns should now be increased to about the same amounts as before, but taking encounter type into account. The spawns are also more diverse in fleet power.
