Shields

QUOTE(evilslayers @ Sep 18 2007, 09:06 PM) Im confused about shields when I run a battle simulation with shields and laser beacons for defense the shields will get destroyed before the laser beacons will but when I run a simulation with say gaus cannons or laser cannons with shields the cannons seem to die before the shields is this just an error in the simulator?
found the answer small shields only protect rockets and beacons

It is not an error I personally play confederat and my strategy is offensive but I know that so called "small shields" protect only rockets and beacons, anyway basically the shields are a very ugly combination withs small land-to-air units because shields have big construction and are hard to destroy, and on the other hand they provide no "leftovers" for the attacker, there are very few players that develop their strategy to destroy this type of defending ( it takes a lot of researching to be able to produce bombers ) so if you have enough small shields and lasers you will be the sosage among the real meat for the attacker :D ... even if somebody destroys all the beacons and shields he will not be a winner because of his losses and poor leftovers to harvest.
I hope I helped you a bit with your dillema

small shields have a randomly chance to protect other defences like the plasma gun.And always protect VVG and small lasers.

@chaoschild, defensive strategy is for the small points range ... if you overstep the 350 000 range, it's very likely someone about a milion points to destroy your defence many times, because it will regenerate(60%).And then to destroy your planets with DS, and you wiould haven't anything to do, except deleting your account.

Well - if he comes with DS, he must really hate me. Because destroying a planet is like destroying your mines. If he is so overpowered, he could just farm me off for the rest of the round. But if he wants the "I have 10 DS and so 30% chance to kick your ass" strategy, its i would say the worst case.

What I havn´t found out yet - When does the Death Star fire its ultimate weapon? Depeding on the information, he has also normal firepower and so takes part in the fight as normal ship, yes? So - Does he use its 3% chance if all defence is down, after each round or when does he do it?

Also it is written that if 1 DS attacks, and 1 DS defends - he cannot destroy the planet. So a good defence against DS would be if your alliance helps you out with DS for defence - right?

hey y'all. what about megashields? the shield's big bro it says, but do they protect the entire planet and all ur defenses or are they there jus to bully the small ones?
