This is because ZE does not employ the "Plunder Algorithm" for attacks. Somehow, the developers forgot something in their formula or it is too difficult for them to program.Devbos wrote:Well, I understand that I need more cargo ships to carry more stuff, but my cargo ships don't come back full.
Here is the way an attack should look:[/color]
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...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}.
Now here is how each resources are captured and its called the "plunder algorithm":
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
