My issue isn't with how much damage *I* did - I destroyed all the sats, looted the colony, and disabled all 30 missile launchers in 4 rounds.
Solsats aren't shooting back, nor is the shield, so as far as my units taking damage, you have 30 missile launchers firing at 25 cruisers and 23 battleships.
Put another way:
30 defensive structures:
Structure points 2.500
Shield Strength 20
Attack Points 80
*no Rapid Fire.
Against:
25 units:
Structure points 32.500
Shield Strength 50
Attack Points 400
*note that these 25 units also have a Rapid Fire of 10 against the aforementioned 30 defensive structures.
AND
22 units:
Structure points 60.000
Shield Strength 200
Attack Points 1.000
*note that these 22 units also have a Rapid Fire of 8 against the aforementioned 30 defensive structures.
On the face of it, you can ignore weapon/armor/shields, for purposes of our discussion - but in fact, all of mine were 1 level higher than his, respectively.
I should've obliterated his defenses without a single lost ship. Instead I lost 1 battleship -- if I'm going to lose a ship, it ought to be a cruiser, for one, but I shouldn't even lose THAT.
I got the rationale of a New York cop
I got the patience of a chopping block
