Well i finally gave in to this and thought why not start it as we all discuss alot of things lets have a game trivia for ZE.

Here I will be asking some bits an pieces about games (all universe combined), it will not always be straight forward so you might have to do a bit of work or brain storm before you answer.

No specific schedule so it will be asked as we find free times. First correct answer is going to get 10 points. Also best answer gets half 5 point if you are not first... for explanations and all.

Q. What kind of optimal defense you need to keep a 25.000 BC fleet attack unprofitable on your planet?
Given you are hording around 50 mil metal 30 mil crystal and 5 mil deut on ur planet.

With those ratios, light lasers. They are cheap to build, and build the quickest. So you can have a wall of 100,000 LL, I think.

Lots of LL, a few IC,GC,PC...and ofc both shield domes

A lil bit more specifics guys. I am looking for the optimal Defense.

lil' bit more specific this one ...

WSA set to 15 for both attacker and defender. with 180,000 LL as defense.

The attacker has won the battle !
You receive 5995750 units of Metal, 5995750 units of Crystal and 2500000 units of Deuterium.
The attacker has lost a total of 71.190.000 units.
The defender has lost a total of 180.000.000 units.
A debris field containing 18.306.000 units of Metal and 24.408.000 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.
The probability of creating a moon is : 19 %

- 488,750 units is the total profit made by the attacking fleet using a 1:2:4 ratio, with the condition that the attacker also got all the DF.

making the venture unprofitable at a cost of 180,000,000 units.

Rocket Launcher 10000
Light Laser 10000
Heavy Laser 10000
Gauss Cannon 10000
Ion Cannon 10000
Plasma Canno 10000

Cypher thats a pretty close estimation I will wait for another cycle for others to see if they can come up with anything better than that or sneak a 5 pointer on the explanation.

(i will provide my answer when we are done for this round if the proper explanation is not provided by anyone else.)

great responses.

Well i believe we can close this round.

cypher +10

Hints for justifications:

• Ships endure destruction if hull damage is 30% or more.
• Your Planet/moon resource should be equivalent to the damage done to the raiding fleet+deut expense.
• a 10% ship loss ensures that attacker wont risk the mission on your planet if 10% ship loss = the the raiding total.
• best answer would be
  35.000 ION canon for the 25.000 BC attack points to match it
  3.334 PC for the 25.000 BC shield damage
  57.500 LL for 10% ship loss causing a 30% hull damage to them so they gets crashed. also works as a nice fodder.
  57.500 LL + 35.000 ION + 3.334 PC + 2 DOMs
  this saves ur cost cause ur IONs are mostly saved and LL gets regenerated.
