Because ZE does not employ the Plunder Algorithm, you have to send more ships than is necessary to get the full amount of resources available during an attack.

Here is the way an attack should look using the "Plunder Algorithm":

You can only capture up to 50% of the overall resources on a planet. For example,if you attack a planet which has 20,000 metal, 20,000 crystal and 10,000 deuterium, you will get be able to capture a maximum of 25,000 resources overall {(20k+20k+10+)/2}.

1.Fill up to 1/3 of cargo capacity with metal
2.Fill up to half remaining capacity with crystal
3.The rest will be filled with deuterium
4.If there is still capacity available fill half of it with metal
5.Now fill the rest with crystal

Ok, your post is confusing, the way it is worded. So basically what you meen is this:

I send two large cargos (50k capacity) at 100k metal, 20k crystal and 5k duet. Right now, with current conditions, you would get 16,666 metal, 10k crystal and 2.5k duet, leaving aproximately 21k storage left. What your saying is, you should be able to fill the remaining cargo space with what's left, right? So you would get 37.5k metal, 10k crystal, and 2k duet.

Is that what you are specifying? That any remaining space be used by the other resources.

Alright, I like the idea, then. And I said aproximately 21k. Not "exactly".

hmmmmmm seems fair. i dont think ships would come back with space in them if you won the battle.

this idea sounds pretty good.I'll bump it.

You don't seem to understand the definition of a bump, do you?

There is no clear defination that and I don't want to get a warning so it is kind of difficult determining when to bump.can you clarify just what amount of time should pass before I should bump something if I feel it is needed?

I've kinda been wondering about this for a while now, never bothered to make a forum thread about it though lol... I really like the idea and would love to see it implemented .

Let it get to the second page before you bump it.
