colonies and vulnerability

[redthecat]

As I understand it, I have access to all my resources from a colony I create. Does that mean that an attacker can also get at all my resources by hitting that colony?

[chaoschild]

the maximum is about 30-35% not sure about it, if cargoships can carry less than that they get as much as possible and take off ...
if you want to take most of the resources attacker must make 3 separated flights with enough free space on them

there isn't maximum or minimum... exactly 50% of the resources can be stolen if you have enough cargo ... and every planet can be attacked.
Sometimes 3 flights aren't enough

On your colony you have access only to the resources on that colony - sent there or mined. The resources on your first planet remain on this planet.

Chaoschild, learn how to play and then give advices!!

The maximum resource that can be stolen from a planet is 50% of the resource or the capacity of the cargoships.

I think you are still in the beginning stage, lets say 500 points and looking or just founded your first colony. In this case, it might be a good idea to have on every planet 2-3 defence turrets to prevent attacks of cargo ships only. (If you are growing, defence strategy changes)

If someone attacks you, he gets what he can load in his ships up to a maximum of 50% ressources on the planet. But notice. First - Metall, Than Crystal, than Gas.

So if he comes with 2 Cargos 10.000 Space and you have more than 20.000 metall on this planet, he only will take metall back home.

Also - a player does normally send more fleets to get more ressources. Lets say you have 100.000 of each resource. So the attacker will send 3 fleets with following cargo spaces:

1. wave 150.000 (getting 50.000 metall, 50.000 crystal, 50.000 gas)
2. wave 75.000 (getting 25.000 metall, 25.000 crystal, 25.000 gas)
3. wave (if he still is up to) 37.500 (gettin 12.500 metall, 12.500 crystal, 12.500 gas)

normally you send a little more cargo space then you have in the scan to take also with you a little bit of the production which takes place between scan and arrival. IF you are attacking against a target with defence you have to calculate loosing ships and cargo space, so also send some more.



So far to that. But now I have a question.

If I get attacked by ships, Cargos and Recyclers and we have a nice big fight with me loosing all defence. Then the Cargos and Battle Ship will land, behave themselves like a hord of wikings and take all recources lying around. But what will the recyclers do ? They have been send on mission attack. Will they land a help out to rape down my planet or will they start recycling the ships in the orbit? If they land, it would be a good idea to send the recyclers as separte fleet with command recycle ?

Thanks in advance.

yes, better to send them as a separate fleet with recycle mission, that way they can collect the debris after the fight. All ships in an attack mission only steal resources from the planet, regardless if they are recyclers or not.

thanks a lot for the answer.

Thanks everyone!
