now see, that's what I don't get. why is it that someone does insignifacant damage already, that you tell them to lower attack even more
even if attack raises fleet power twice as fast as hp (which it shouldn't, but I guess somehow does) still, lowering attack will only go so far when you are raising hp then, so yes, you may face less powerful fleets, but you would also be facing them with less firepower as well. except then you have a bigger portion of that fleet power coming from not actual attack, but hp.
like I use ships that have a bit more attack then hp, where after regular it's almost double the hp, yet I still somehow manage to do insignifacant damage, although I have noticed it is only when facing a large hp swarmer fleet, or a huge single supership that was either that or nothing for that fleet.
