structure killers
 

hi.


didnt know where to put this thread, so just move it if it doesnt fit here.

This round i couldnt be that active so i am aiming for killing 1up scanners. :devil:
I got plenty str. killer and wave those buggers each night.

I noticed that it is clearly no "Laplace" chance for each construction.
If my target has 3 factories, 2 research labs and 55 amps.
Each of this 60 constructions should have a chance of p=1/60 to be destroyed.
But its allways the case that i destroy 2 factories, 1 research lab and 2-3 amps.
It was the case in all of my ~15-20 landings i had this round.

Shouldnt each construction have the same, equal chance to be destroyed?

:banana:

Re: structure killers
 

Well, the way it works is based on the number of types of constructions - ie, there were Light, Medium and Heavy Factories, Research Labs and Amps. Thus, killing an amp occurs with a 1/5 probability as amps only account for one fifth of all the types of constructions.

Its a bit silly i know, and it means that factories tend to take the most hits, but yeah :\

Oh, and the Search function on these forums is actually quite useful :\

congratz sov... u stated the status quo.

but i want it changed \o/

Re: structure killers
 

why? :p

Re: structure killers
 

I was told last round that it would be fixed but it seems it hasn't been fixed.

I feel betrayed.

Betrayed!

Re: structure killers
 

Are you sure it wasnt put onto the 'todo list' mate? ;).

Re: structure killers
 

Maybe.

The betrayal is still felt though!

Re: structure killers
 

i can feel the pain too : /

Re: structure killers
 

Kal's todo list of things to fix in PA is longer than my playboy bunnies todo list.. :(

no more structure killing
 

hmm.. change structure kill to damage only (u have to repair ur structure) e.g with 50% damage on light factory,u get like 50% of production only and u have to repair it if u wanna utilize ur structure again ( abit annoy but hey its just a suggestion and discussion , feel free to discuss) ^.^

Re: structure killers
 

I was under the impression that this was setup intentionally. It doesn't require a "Fix"

I think further discussion should focus on the "Why" it should be changed.

I favor status quo, it increases the chances that you kill something worthwhile and make SK's part of long term strategy.
