Title: Station and Planet absorbing
Post by: Nephadral on February 18, 2010, 09:11:42 AM
I am a little unclear about how my station is absorbing power.  The space station where my planet is claims to have 115% absorb power.  In attacking it myself, my 40 billion FP ship is able to do a small amount of damage, but all of the kami fleets attack is absorbed.

at the same time i have level 20 planetary shields (which should give me 100% absorb to my planet's ground forces).  I doubt that this means that my colonists are indestructible, but I am unclear on how to determine exactly how much damage they will take and if it makes any sense to ever invest in more shields than i currently have.

any insights would be greatly appreciated

No there is no point in getting more then 16 planetary shields as 18 would give you 90% ASB which goes down to 80%
