Detailed Battle Calcs

Q: The swarm bonus, applies to the entire armada, or just the fleet?
A: The swarm bonus affects the fleet in question, it applies to every fleet, and is calculated acourding to the size of the ship, e.g. a 100 space ship will max out the bonus faster than a 20 space fleet...

Q: How does the battle work? (on paper, formulas i mean) and in which order are the ships attacked?
A: The fleets are ordered by power, with the big fleet on top, the most powerful ships on top battle each other first, then come the others.

As a more complex axample, if you attack a commander that has one big fleet, and you have 10 fleets, the 1 big fleet will fire at full accuracy the first shot, than lose accuracy with each shot, while your 10 fleets will attack with full accuracy, because they are at the first attack...

Q: How are the battle results calculated?
A: Well, in the battle, it is not only one formula, but several, that modify the base atributes of your fleets.

I will try to describe them for you...

X is attacker Y is defender:

C - crew level bonus (1.bonus)
A - attack (all weapons)
AC - accuracy (0-1)
AB - accuracy bonus from computers
ASP - accuracy siege pennalty (-0.1 reg, -0.3 board -0.3 raid, -0.8 ambushed)
ACP - accuracy mutiple shots penalty (between -0.6 and -1 depending on the shot, at first shot is 0 )
S - shield abs
D - defence
DB - defence bonus from specials and computers
SM - swarm bonus
N - numbers

TA - total fleet attack
TD - total defence

TA = (A * C * SM) * (AC+AB-ASP-ACP) * N
TD = (D * C * SM * (1+DB) ) * N

When we have X stats and Y stats, then comes the battle, and shields absorbiton, defence to determine damage done and received, other formulas lol... ok, hope this helps... :

PS: Do not forget HP and Shields are not in the calculations The damage done is TA * 1-ABS.
