A question about segment

[tip]

Sorry for this 3rd message.

Often when others attacked me, they grabbed away a lot of segments, like hundreds of segments in one grab.

But when I retaliate, I only grab back 2 or 3 segments.

Why is that?

The amount of segs you get is dependent on:

1. How many total segs they have.
2. How much power you destroy eg. Killing pships (more than 20%) gives you more than if you board someone mains (without pships)
3. How many ships are left in battle after combat.

also on the type of attack, you get more segs from a board attack then you do from a regular attack.

I'm pretty sure it just based off of how many ships you attack with... There is a ratio between the number of segs your opponent has and the number of ships you attack with. It peaks off at x% of there segs capped per attack.

yea there are many factors that effect it

I can vouch that boarding attacks provide more segments than regular attacks. At least they did a couple years ago.

You need 1 ship for every 100 segs to capture the maximum amount of segs.
For a regular full assault you can take 10% of their segs and for  regular remote assault you can take 5%.
For a board full assault you can take 20% of their segs and for a board remote assault you can take 10%.
