i'm good at math...

hmm......80% against that attack would be 177.817.983.750 wow...thats impossible...unless he has more than two of those ships then he would able to destory your ship.

are you sure there was only one ship in that fleet ? coz if there were lets say 7-8 .. the damage would be x7 or x8 .

yeah what Ricu basically is saying, if that player has more than one ships like he said 7-8 ships then he would able to destory your ship

but more of these ships would give him a lot more total power and he was on my level at that time

Depends.. if your ship was attacked before and had taken hull damage...
Btw, this belongs in FAQ

There's a bit of randominity in the damage calculator. I've heard of people getting "criticals" before. Guess you just got unlucky. I don't know if criticals are supposed to be in game, though.

I was always lead to believe it took of that percentage of damage.

As am I, Chronos (why else do superships with 0 defense take about 1/4 of the damage the other ship should do?).

Also, why else would 95% of the posts mentioning shields, as well as the guide, be talking about it as if it did take out that percentage?

I thought that you could get shields to go upto 99% now. And shields take that percentage of the damage caused before defence and hitpoints (I think).

They changed the max to 80%.

THe sheilds take x % of your hp from the total attack then it goes to the HP. also he could have had 10 ships of that power with 5 times less size and still have the same power. or 2 times less size.  the ship size adds to the power as well.
