Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

 - Added a feature in alliance board for alliance leaders to delete older then x days board messages
 - Added a small note in battle mission for mothership contracts when reward is lowered by fleet cost calculator, something about enemy fleets were alerted and they dis-engaged, and the employer wasn't happy
 - Boarding ballance in missions:
   -> Marine presence on enemy fleets: between 25% - 100% capacity
    -> Captured Mission Fleets destruction chance:
       - chance of self-destruct decreased from 50% to 25%
       - single ship always self destructs
       - for their numbers between 2 and 100, percent captured is 0 - 100% of fleet
       - for their numbers greater then 100, percent captured is 25% - 100% of fleet

that is much better for boarding now.  now if we could get systems from misisions like we do from commanders it would be even better
Thank you very much for the modifications

lol
i tried several times boarding in mission but the result was always self destruct  :P so i though that you cannot aquire ships this way...it seems i had simple bad luck

PS.
it's working  :wow:

I tried it today and was surprised that I captured enough ships to resupply marines and still have credits left over.

Thanks, now things are a little more interesting  :wow:

wait, omg, boarding works now? *perpares alts to mess around with this*

*Sigh* the update is great emi, but single ships SHOULD be capturable. just harder. Like a 75%-50% chance of exploding, rather the 100% chance, as once you get higher up, all other commanders only use 1 ship fleets.

Monkey, those boarding stats are only for missions, battles between commanders can lead to capture of 1 ship fleets.

yeah, but isn't there that update where like if u use only one ship in a fleet then the chance of there being multiple fleets with only one ship increases?

no Remfer, you got them mixed up, that update was about the single fleet probability. The number of ships you send has no effect on the enemy, only the fleet power of the ships you send. You could send 1 mil numbers of 10 mil FP or 1 ship of 10 mil FP, same thing will happen.

As you know, every time you try missions / encounters you can end up with 1 - 10 fleets to fight against. The probability to end up with 2 - 9 got increased, and the probability to get 1 or 10 got decreased to about 1 in 30 tries. The update had no effect on the number of ships in the fleet, just the number of fleets. The number of enemy ships depends on the available fleet power for the enemy fleet and the ship size in power, e.g. a 10k fleet is selected for an allocated 1 mil FP, you would get 1 mil / 10k = 100 ships.

I hope I wasn't too confusing   :))  :P

Ah....well, it's a good update eiter way...but I still want proper boarding of oher commanders back. Nothing is more fun then seeing a commander squirm when you steal their best ship.

for their numbers greater then 100, percent captured is 25% - 100% of fleet

The fleets close into transporter range...      
JackJuke(#11426)'s fleet Board 2 is sending a boarding party to Unidentified Fleet(#)'s fleet Time Lion MK 13      
The boarding party killed 561.876.000 enemy marines and suffered 162.944.040 casualties.      
Unidentified Fleet(#)'s fleet Time Lion MK 13 was captured.      
First Officer reporting: 8428 ships taken, 85218 exploded in the fight      


was i not supposed to capture at least 25% of that fleet?

Got new updates by now  :12:

where do i find those

Emi has not listed them anywhere but I did some testing and found out that you now get about 10% of the boarded fleet.
