Post by: PorteNoir on May 18, 2006, 02:27:35 PM
Hi, this is one of my first designs. Any comments about it, please?

Cost: 202,360 Space: 1225

Attack     Defence     Hitpoints
253617       1425       25268

Attack accuracy     Absorb Power
   24 %                    29%

Can it survive with so low attack?

that's not that low of an attack. It might, moght not. Depends on what ships others are using and what their stats are.

I don't know ships that size. One thing that might help is did you get your HP by using armor or did you put everything into the powercore and do it through the special. Because doing it through the special is going to get you much more than the armor. (except in very small ships) I don't know about your size but it may be something to see.

I used special. The main question i have is should I decrase some other stats and try to improve attack? Thanks for all input.

No, too little hp or defence, mainly hp, and your ship will be easily destroyed, not enough attack though and you won't do enough damage. Finding a balance is hard, and it is mainly personal preference and the style of your gameplay that matters.

myself I would lower the attack and raise the acu.  I would also put another shield on that boat.

well, considering I'm not sure what exact stats are, due to no gold, I am guessing it is fairly alright for a swarmer.  although I do agree with frank, you probably could use at least 1 more sheild, and higher acc.

Well, I ran it through my formulae, and it says you should bring your ACU up to 43%. Leveling out the cost by taking away ATK, of course.

but remember ACC changes I believe after 40%.  so it may or may not be...  :sweat  L:)

It changes after 30%.

And the way I have it set up is, if the result is higher than 30%, I set it to 30% and run it through a second formula. So that should be a pretty accurate percentage. Especially sense I only had to round ~0.05%.
