Why is it that when I board people and succeed, I get like 22 segs and they lost like 40, but when I get boarded I lose thousands? And the people i board have many more segments than me.

Quote from the Guide: "Also, if the commander wants to capture the maximum amount of segments, he has to have 1 ship for every 100 segments the defender mothership has."  |

logicaly.. more ships = more ships to carry the segs back to your motherships i mean how can 1 ship carry back a few thousand segs?? you need a few thousand ships! |

Indeed. More ships = more segments.

Does everyone feel the need to repeat the same over and over again, why post if you dont have anything to add?

Because we're enforcing the point?

If the maker of the game say's it and even gives a quote from the guide with a FORMULA IN IT, for max result 1 ship for each 100 segments the other has, then the point has been made and with Sir Emi saying it is law in SO, so whatever experiences you have or anyone else having with using more ships does not care and is not adding to the point as it was already stated it is like that.
Only if someone takes a guess, it can be helpfull for others to enforce its guess.
If I say a RED ball is red and a yellow ball is yellow. Then I dont see how someone saying, yeah my red ball is red, can be adding to the point.

But I can think of an arguement to your "red ball/yellow ball".
What if the person is COLOUR-BLIND?
In this case: What if people don't understand?

If people lag the brain capacity to understand what Sir Emi said, how the hell do you supose they understand the non-sence chatter of the rest of the people who posted here. And as such people are most probably not capable of reading, I dont have to fear they feel offended.
A red ball is RED, always, if your colour blind the red ball is still RED, it only appears to be another colour for the person looking.

It appears as black. Yellow as grey.

I do have to admit it puts a smile on my face seeing how you try to turn the subject as you know I'm right  You have different forms of colour blindness, so red does not always appear to be black. But if you still want to react on the point I made, feel free otherwise plz refrain from commenting. |

There was nothing else to say here after Drackin posted, as his was the last comment to say something other than "I agree"
