Attacking Planets

[Bogomip]

Dear all,

I have questions regarding the attacking of planets that address issues outside of the FAQ.

- The amount of torps on a planet is usually huge, but then the torp launcher is generally quite low. How does the torp launcher and the amount of torps work together? If they have a level 10 torp launcher I assume that will not launch 20 million torps?

- I assume also that engines, cloak etc that you use in ship to ship battle have nothing to do with planetary attacks?

- in ship to planet battle are there any random chances?

I made a spreadsheet to simulate a ship-to-planet attack but the torpedo launchers are the only question mark in its accuracy.

Thanks
Alex

Ah never mind, I worked it all out and then got screwed because the base was destroyed when I took the planet (yay I won), and then the game took the 500 trillion I needed to pay off my bounty and IGB debt, as well as upgrading my ship to conquer further planets, so I have -700 billion debt to IGB, -350 billion debt to the federation, and 185 billion with no opportunity to increase anything any more as the winner was getting way away from me.

Sad times.

Oh well
