I know this is an absolutely stupid question (you can call this a noob question) but how do you calculate ship value??? I have never bothered trying to figure it out, so thought that there is no better place to start than in these forums!!!

Ie, the cost of your ships / 100 :P

ok, so fleet cost is the TOTAL number of resources used.....metal, crystal and eonium added together.

and then I divide that by 100.....

sorry for being such a newb.

sweet as, ty guyz.

ok, next question then, how do you work out how many units you kill in battle:

eg.

Large Cath CO fleet:

1000 beetle
1000 vips
500 mozzies

versus a Terran player that has no extra help and has:

500 gryphs??? <=== that about right??? hypothetically if both players were about 800k score?

ok, I have gotten down as far as the vips kill 247 gryphs, but want to know how many the remaining 253 gryphs then kill of the CO...since there are no calcs running yet for R14 I have to work this out on my own. Is it done by fleet value?

Its done by numbers.

The combat engine works like this:
Total damage = (# of attacking ship * damage)
Total damage = 253 * 45 = 11385

thus, 1000/2500 (0.4) of the Total damage will land on Beetles, Vipers (as they are the same proportion), and 500/2500 will land on Mossies.

0.4 * 11385 = 4554 Damage
0.2 * 11385 = 2277 Damage

Then you divide the total damage by the Armour of the Defending ship and round down to the nearest whole unit. ie:

Beetle Armour = 21
Viper Armour = 27
Mossie = 26

4554 / 21 = 216 destroyed Beetles
4554 / 27 = 168 destroyed Vipers
2277 / 26 = 87 destroyed Mossies.

Is that what the battlecalc said?

According to the BCalc your not far wrong.

216 Beetles
162 Vipers
87 Mossies

kamikaze69 · 18 Jul 2005, 18:59

that's because that calc takes into the effects of the new armor upgrade for the vips.
