The ship is designed for safety, rather than firepower. Although it is low on attack, it does provide hefty hull strengths.

With the additional 73% absorption, using the formula supplied by Chronos, this ship should be able to withstand up to 149629630000 bombardment, that is, over 149 billion hit points.

**** A word of caution ****

The design is less than 80% optimized. If it is fully optimized, firepower can get over 25 billion and over 180 billion hit points.

I openly invite all the vets to further optimize this design.

I have just read the message on http://forum.spaceo.net/index.php/topic,5245.0.html, and according to the calculation posted, the effective hitpoints for my ship is 95.123.947/(1-44%) = 95.123.947/.56 = 169.864.191

Even higher than my first count !

That puny little 39.372.650 damages is only 23.18 % of 169.854.191, and I want to know is, how could
that puny little 39.372.650 damages kill my ship??

Just now in PVP I lost my ship with over 95 million hitpoints.

I lost it when the opponent's fleet did 39.372.650 damages to my ship.

This is SO WRONG !

I have done calculation way in advance before launching my ship, making sure that nothing will happen to my ship.

And now this !

Moreover, my ship has 44% absorb power. Which actually means, my ship has 136.978.484 total hitpoints !

If win and lose is based on points, that is, based on which side has more defense / offense, then why can opponent's fleet kill my ship in the first place?


Userabcdefg(#999999999)'s xxxx fleet attacks User123456789(#xxxxx)'s yyyyy fleet.
The fleet xxxx did 39.372.650 damage to fleet yyyy.


And here are the essential specs of my ship:
Hitpoints: 95.123.947
Absorb Power: 44%

This is not the first time I lost ships due to game error. Most of the time before I do PVP I sent out a dummy ship, then I calculate, only when I determine it's safe I launch my ship.

And yet, error like this kills my ship.
