Combat Overview

How Battles Work

Attacker fleet arrives at target
Combat begins automatically
Rounds proceed until one side destroyed or 6 rounds pass
Results calculated (loot, debris, losses)
Surviving ships return home

Combat Rounds

Maximum 6 rounds per battle
Each round: all units fire once (plus rapidfire)
Shields regenerate between rounds
Battle ends when one side eliminated

Key Concepts

Attacker vs Defender

Aspect	Attacker	Defender
Fleet	Sent on attack mission	Stationed + defenses
Losses	Ships destroyed	Ships + defenses
Rebuild	None	70% of defenses
Loot	Takes resources	Loses resources

Damage Calculation

Damage = Attack Power * (1 + Weapons Tech * 0.1)

Shield Absorption

Shield = Base Shield * (1 + Shielding Tech * 0.1)

Hull Points

Ship Hull = Base Hull
Defense Hull = Base Defense Hull * (1 + Defense Tech * 0.15)

Combat Outcome

Victory Conditions

Attacker wins: Defender completely destroyed
Defender wins: Attacker completely destroyed
Draw: Neither side eliminated after 6 rounds

Loot Calculation

Attacker can take up to 50% of defender's resources:

Max Loot = (Metal + Crystal + Deuterium) * 0.5
Actual Loot = min(Max Loot, Fleet Cargo Capacity)

Defense Technology protection: A portion of daily production is protected before loot is calculated.

Protected = Daily Production * 0.05 * Defense Technology Level
Lootable = max(0, Stored Resources - Protected)

Combat Reports

After battle, both sides receive reports showing:

Initial fleet compositions
Round-by-round combat log
Final losses
Loot taken (if attacker won)
Debris field created

Quick Tips

Spy first - Never attack blind
Calculate - Ensure profitable battle
Send cargo - For loot collection
Send recyclers - For debris
Check defenses - Bombers for heavy defense
