Combat Simulator

Combat Simulator

The combat simulator lets you preview a 1v1 battle outcome with the live battle engine before you commit to an attack.

How to Open

  • Use the radial menu and select the simulator.
  • From an espionage report, export the JSON payload and import it into the simulator.

What It Simulates

  • Single-run, 1v1 battle only.
  • Ships and defense for both attacker and defender.
  • Tech levels for Weapons, Shields, Defense, Computer, and Hyperspace.

Inputs

Units

  • Add ships and defense for both sides.
  • Defense is defender-only.

Resources

  • Defender resources are used for loot estimation.

Techs

  • Tech inputs are capped at level 30.

Fuel (Optional)

  • Toggle Count Fuel to estimate deuterium fuel cost for the attacker fleet.
  • Enter start and target coordinates in G:S:P format.

Scaling Rules

  • If total units exceed 1,000,000, all counts are scaled down by 10 for the simulation.
  • If total units exceed 10,000,000, results are scaled back up after the sim runs.
  • Simulations over 100,000,000 total units are blocked.

Results

  • Result: Victory, Defeat, or Draw
  • Attacker / Defender Losses: Resource cost of units destroyed
  • Debris: Generated from destroyed ships (and defense recovery rules)
  • Looted: Resources collected by surviving attacker cargo
  • Profit: Loot + (optional debris) - attacker losses - fuel cost

Export / Import JSON
