The Battle - How does it work?

[SirEmi]

I've received a number of questions on how the battle works, so here are some examples:

You have 100 ships with 10.000 attack => 1.000.000 fleet attack.
You have accuracy 50% => 500.000 fleet attack

Now you attack a fleet that has 25% shield aborb.
The defending fleet has 100 ships with 1.000 defence / ship => 100.000 fleet defence.

The attacker loses damage while penetrating the shields: 500.000 * (1-0.25) => 375.000 fleet attack

Now defence kicks in: 375.000 - 100.000 => 275.000 damage

Result: 275.000 damage to the defender armor / hitpoints.

Let's say defender has 100 ships with 5.000 HP / ship: 375.000 damage / 5000 => 75 ships destroyed.

When i make my ships i always (when i make two that are about the same power) look at the different attacks and HP...and then i determine depending on what the ABS is that...

lets say my ship has 1.000.000.000 HP...and my shields are 65% then i round that to about 50% and determine i can suffer more than 2.000.000.000 Dammage...then when i look at the attack (750.000.000) about i realize that any ship around my power won't be able to destroy it (besides bording) since there is no way they have over 2.000.000.000 attack power (after ACU kicks in) if it is the same cost as my ship

You realize that you should round to 66.6% to get 3.000.000.000hp right?

[Remfer]

yeah...but i like to go with the lower amount anyway then figure out the 66.6% stuff later...so i know in my preliminary calculations how much it can take and then i figure out the 3.000.000.000 damage then i figure, hey a ship of the same cost is about the same ACU so i then figure the same ACU (lets say the same as the Shielding [66.6%]) and after that i realize my ship is able to withstand quite a lot

I was wondering about attack priority-

Why do certain ships attack certain enemy fleets?

And how can you try and change the enemy attack  priority?

If you have a new ?
Post a new topic please
this is a old topic

But the answer is they attack in order
 Your first to the enemys first
 Your second to his second
and so on and so forth
If you have 10 and they have 4 you 5th fleet will go back and hit his first, if it was not destroyed
And so on and so forth
