are battleships really tat weak? they die really easily... its not as worth it as the crusiers...

in numbers they are great, they do 1k damage each before your tech bonus and dont cost deut to build, the cargo hold is very handy too so they are the backbone of any attack fleet with good punching power, they like other fleets will go down fast when outnumbered but thats not just them, its all fleets really..

i like them personally.

erm how those the cargo holds help? and this is wat happened..
battle stats for first shot...
The attacking fleet fires for 46.793 on the defender. The defender shields absord 969 points of damage.
The defensive fleet fires back for 2.770 against the attacker. The attacker shields absorb 2.770 points of damage.
AT this point... i lost 2 BS... and i tot the shields absorbed the damage... so why did i lose ships?
the second attack...
The attacking fleet fires for 31.228 on the defender. The defender shields absord 149 points of damage.
The defensive fleet fires back for 51 against the attacker. The attacker shields absorb 51 points of damage.
AT this point i lost 1 bs and 1 BC! wat happened!
lol

It's either the glitchy game engine or your WSA is inferior to your target.

wats WSA... lol i dun think his tech is stronger... coz he has only LFs and HFs... and its only less then 10 ea... so yeap.. .maybe a glitch but hell...

WSA= Weapons/Shields/Armor techs.

thats not the BS its the combat glitch, it should be sorted once the rapid fire is done, so there is a chance of losing a random ship or two in any attack right now, ask Slash who lost a RIP to a few LF..

and there are plenty of other posts on the forum that show a large shield killing a BC or two as well.

Not to mention that a Large Shield Dome managed to kill a LOT of my ships including 2 Deathstars in a single shot...

i tot the shield killing thing is quite reasonable.. .but not a DS though... coz a shield tat explodes should emit some power no? and wats RIP? alright guys.. thx for all the help and clarification.

RIP = Deathstar, gaming slang for Rest In Peices.
