Battles System
Ships - what are their different weapons?
Each ship has a weapon from one of the following types- laser, ion and plasma.. Here's a detailed list for each ship: Cargoship - LaserMega cargoship - LaserScout - LaserField fighter - PlasmaGuardian - IonBattlecruiser - PlasmaColony ship - LaserRecycler - LaserSpy probe - LaserSolar Satellite - LaserBomber - LaserDestroyer - PlasmaDeath Star - IonMegaton - IonSpeeder - LaserStar Fighter - PlasmaTanker - Laser
The same rules apply to the defence: VVG Rockets - strength 500, structure 2000, weapon Laser, armor SolidLaser beacon - strength 630, structure 2200, weapon Laser, armor SolidLaser cannon - strength 2500, structure 8000, weapon Laser, armor SolidGaus cannon - strength 15000, structure 30000, weapon Plasma, armor SolidIon cannon - strength 3500, structure 10000, weapon Ion, armor SolidPlasma gun - strength 65000, structure 100000, weapon Plasma, armor SolidShield - strength 0, structure 80000, weapon None, armor NoneMegashield - strength 0, structure 300000, weapon None, armor None
The attack of each ship is calculated using the following scheme - the percentage from the upgrade in the Factory is added to the ship's base attack and to the result number is also added the bonus from ""Weaponry systems" (5% for each level) along with "Laser Systems", "Ion Technologies" or "Plasma Systems", depending on the type of the ship's weapon (again each level gives 5%).Example:If you have one Scout ship with one level upgrade in the Factory and you have level 5 "Weaponry systems", level 4 "Laser Systems" and level 6 "Plasma Systems", this is what happens: 1 Scount has 350 strength 5% added from the level 1 of Factory upgrade = 368. We also add 45% total (25% from level 5 "Weaponry systems", 5% per level and 20% for the level 4 "Laser Systems" 5% per level and 0% from level 6 of "Plasma Systems", because the Scout doesn't use Plasma weapon) = 534 (rounded). To sum things up, all those calculations equal 534 attack for each one of your Scout ships.
Armors - types and descriptions
The armor types in the game are now 4 - Light, Normal, Heavy and Solid. This means that the different ships will have different types of armor and various start percentages: Cargoship - 3% LightMega cargoship - 5% NormalScout - 8% LightField fighter - 10% NormalGuardian - 12% Lingt (Heavy for Universe 3)Battlecruiser - 15% NormalColony ship - 10% SolidRecycler - 3% HeavySpy probe - 5% LightSolar Satellite - 1% Heavy (Light for Universe 3)Bomber - 16% HeavyDestroyer - 18% HeavyDeath Star - 25% SolidMegaton - 16% NormalSpeeder - 11% LightStar fighter - 11% NormalTanker - 5% SolidThe improvements in the Factory will affect the ship's structure (the life of the ship). Every level of "Ship Armor" will increase ship's structure (the life of the ship) with 5% per level. The armor percentages will increase depending on the level of researches "Shields". All ships will gain 3% bonus from each level.
Reduction!
Each type of weapon in the game has different strength against the types of armor (some armors don't work at 100% when being hit with certain weapon). This means that the armors have a reduction to the different types of weapons::Laser -->Light = 25% reductionLaser -->Normal = 100% reductionLaser -->Heavy = 10% reductionLaser -->Solid = 100% reductionIon -->Light = 100% reductionIon -->Normal = 35% reductionIon -->Heavy = 20% reductionIon -->Solid = 15% reductionPlasma -->Light = 25% reductionPlasma -->Normal = 30% reductionPlasma -->Heavy = 100% reductionPlasma -->Solid = 20% reduction
What does this all mean?
If we have to simulate a battle using 10 Scouts against 2 Destroyers, here's what's important.10 Scouts have a total attack of 3500. The Destroyers have 250 000 structure and 18% Heavy armor. Then we should know that the Laser has 10% reduction from the Heavy armor (the Scouts have Laser weapons, and the Destroyer uses Heavy Armor). This means that we reduce 10% from 630 - the ammount we reduced from the Scouts attack so far. And finally 630 - 63 = 567. The final strength of our Scouts will be 3500 - 567 (armor reduction) = 2933.
One final simulation.
300 Guardians against 120 Battlecruisers. 300 Guardians have a total attack of 750 000. The Battlecruisers have 15% Normal armor. We first calculate 15% out of 750 000 = 112 500. Now comes the reduction from the Ion weapon (the one that the Guardian uses) to the Normal armor (the one that the Battlecruiser uses) which is 35%. So we take 35% reduction out of 112 500 and we get 73 125.112 500 - 39 375= 73 125So, finally, the attack of our Guardiangs will be reduced by 73 125 and for 300 Guardians it will be 676 875.
