Title: No nebula
Post by: Yugi Moto on March 02, 2009, 11:20:34 PM
in the tut's is says that if you lose more then 20% of your fleet then you will hide in a nebula.  my entire fleet was knocked out by one person. do you only go into a nebula on the war server?

20% of your power.. so you probably have a crappy fleet and alot of segments

Total power
If you are new to the game, chances are you might have alot of segs or something. They will add to your power as well.

so in order for me to get a neb it has to be 20% of my total power. So I need to have a hugh fleet.

I think you don't have to lose the 20% of power in one attack, it can be spread over several. I lost 23% before I got neb'd but that was over seven attacks.

As such I guess things like building new ships/segments/workers will reset the "damage taken" count (so if you build a new ship you can be beaten up 20% of your new power), but I'm not sure. What about things like doing a mission and getting a few extra credits, or stashing away some credits?

no... completely wrong.. you lose 20% in 100 attacks then your nebbed

Yeah cameron07 is right.

I'm not sure if this is in reply to my post but if it is, we're both saying the same thing :) lose 20% of Total Power over one or more (7, 100, any number) attacks and you get nebbed.

What I was puzzled about is, if you build ships/workers/gain credits after taking say 10% damage, does a further 10% neb you or does it reset to needing 20%?

No, what cameron mean is that you get nebbed when you lose 20% total power ONCE
Its not accumulative

Nah, I got nebbed after several small attacks in a row (none were >= 20%). Whatever happens it seems to be 20% of total power required in terms of damage anyway :)

okay, each unsuccessful attack (and by succesful I mean an attack that nebs you) reduces your fp (either by losing ships or segs). So as each small attack lowers your fp, the amount of fp required to go into neb decreases. I can bet  you 1 tril creds that the last attack that neb you was enough to get you over 20% total power...it wasn't because the attack was accumulative.

Unfortunately the logs have disappeared. I can promise you it was right though.

Perhaps SirEmi can clarify the neb rules? For instance, I'd also like to know what determines the amount of neb time, I've had 24hrs, 20hrs and today only 16.

diminshing nebula.. first one is 24 hours.. after that if your not out of neb for 6 straight hours it decreases
