I don't understand

I was told that if I deploy enough powership (25% of my total mothership power), if people attack me, I would end up in the nebula

Well.... here's the deal ........

I deployed enough powership to make up 28% of my total mothership power, and when people attack me, see the following:

What is the use of deploying powership if that strategy just doesn't work ???????????

not mothership power, total power including the power of the power ships is 25%

That is what I mean

I deploy enough powership that make up 28% of the TOTAL mothership power !

And yet, as you all see, it's useless !!!

After all those powerships got destroyed, I still don't end up in the nebula !

What is the use of that "powership strategy" if it does NOT work ?????

And one more thing ---- Has that rule changed???

I just want to be sure, because I am tired of being attacked again and again despite my deployment of massive amount of pships and failed to get into the nebula !

The example I showed above is not the only time I got attacked for nothing ---- I've been attack A LOT OF TIMES despite the "pship deployment strategy" !!!!!

When you put the pships, the total power increases...so you gotta make sure that when you do the calculation it takes into account the "new" total power after pship

Those were COUNTER attacks they can b performed even if ur in a neb

good call light we aparantly did not look

I knew that, Sir

That is why when I said 28% of the TOTAL mothership power is made up of the pships, I mean, the POST PSHIP amount !

What I mean is ---- if my PRE PSHIP DEPLOYMENT amount is 100 million, and after I add in the PSHIPS, it would ballooned to 125 million

Then I add more, until I am sure that the PSHIP power makes up MORE than 25% of the total mothership amount

How I calculate the pship power? I use any of the encounters

When I click on the encounters, I got the xxxx number of pships, and then the POWER of those pships

And then I multiply that number by 4

AFTER that, I click on the "Ranking" and look at the POST pship total mothership power

If the number is smaller than the ( 4 X pship power), then I add MORE pships

And I add it till it gets to about 28 or 29% of the TOTAL power

I just want to play safe --- that is, I even taking in account the amount of credits made by my workers, PLUS the amount of interests I got from the secret base bank

Despite all the precautions I have taken, I still having to suffer what I have shown you guys

The first few times I was thinking that maybe it's me that made the error --- I calculate wrongly or something

But after numerous times of the same thing happened, and despite the fact that I take EVERYTHING into account, and even put MORE than the 25% requirement, I still got attacked and NOT ending up in the nebula

That is why I started this thread --- because I need to be sure ----

Has the rule changed ???

Huh ??

How can that be?

When I counter other people and they end up in the nebula, that's it, I can't attack them no more --- the system just won't allow me to attack no more

Why then when I am in the nebula, others can STILL counter me??

Well if u had 1 counter on them then yes thts the end but in ur case they clearly had more counters

Well lightshadow has done a good job of explaining things  :19:

Yay I'm so smart requesting topic lock as question has been answered
