September 26, 2012:
-From now on, non-destroyed (regenerated) defence is not counted as damage.

I just saw this change regarding the defenses not being counted as TD because they are being regenerated. Now if you can fix the Battle Simulator so that the TD is not counted as well. I find the differences between the BE and the real CR are staggering different in the report of TD.

Not sure how difficult it will be to fix, but I just thought you might want to know this is a flaw.

The changelog entry refers to the user stats. It should still show normally in the combat report page (so in the sim as well).

I have updated the changelog entry to avoid such confusion.

Okay, well the bug still exists then. If you do a sim the TD is far more than the real CR. With the same Defenses being destroyed, the TD on the combat report is far less than what the Battle Simulator reports. I will pick a random victim and post my results (minus the name and coordinates) to make my point.

By the way this is for Xtreme Universe, so I cannot attest to any other universe if this is happening there as well.

Here is my first example where the TD does not match. If you do a MD and that moon has defenses, should'nt the defense TD be calculated as a total loss? It does not on the CR but it does on the battle simulator. Below are the results. I am doing another test but the ships are in the air on attack at the moment and I will post the results of that battle as well.

It seems to me that the sim engine does not regenerate any defence, thus the difference.
So we could probably add an extra row in the simulator to also show probable TD taking in mind regeneration chances.

Would this be good enough?

Okay, so this time instead of a MD I sent a RIP raid. Below are the Battle Simulation and the actual Combat Reports. All defenses were destroyed on both the Sim and CR.

There should not be such a gross difference between what you think it should be and the actual CR. Something is just not right. Please fix this issue. It is annoying to say the least.

I wonder if you have even read my response above.

I read your question to me whether I think your solution is good enough. I leave that up to you and your developers as to whether that fixes this bug or not.

I think that he was just making a thorough investigation out of it, Zorg. Making sure that it wasn't just a Moon Destroy mission bug.
