Given the back and forth of the last week I don't think the fact that people are shooting each other should come as a huge shock.

I fully expected this. I'm actually surprised you are surprised Mark.

Yeah, but with only one exception (that being the Beta Breen's sudden invasion), most conflicts are built up too, with rounds of smack talking, posing, and so forth.

Yes, I saw it coming down the road........just not this quickly :lol:

I think everyone had their say pretty quickly. There wasn't much else I really had to say to anyone.

Well I just hope you realize that your invasion fleet was going one way while my Fed Ex package full of teddy bears, roses and apologetic hallmark cards was headed to Cardassia. This is going to make our state dinner very uncomfortable.

Real quick here, I decided to make a clarification post about how battles work in this SIM. I'm not good at hex systems, nor do I want that headache, nor do I want battles to take up that much time b/c like big noticed it steals momentum from the SIM.

I have a spreadsheet system (If anyone wants to see it, ask and I'll email it to you). The battles take place in a series of 5 rounds, starting at Long Range (unless specific circumstances dictate a close range engagement). From there they will then move. When running battles I do a roll with both sides firepower used to determine the victory ratio for any given power. i.e. your firepower divided by the total firepower involved is your percentage chance at victory (from now on this number is known as the victor differential (VD)).

Once a victor is determined, the looser rolls from the victor differential to 100 for percent casualties, the victor from 1 to (100-VD). The number of destroyed ships is then your enemies firepower divided by your defensive rating multiplied by your casualty percentage. The number of ships afflicted by casualty percentage but not destroyed.

After each round you have the option to save or use your damaged ships in the next round; however the number of damaged ships you take on in future rounds is matched up with the number you entered that round with. a ship damaged twice is destroyed. i.e. in round 1 player A has 1 ship destroyed and 2 damaged, and the keep them, in round two they start with 2 damaged have have another ship destroyed and 2 more damaged, this means that since 2 were damaged in the first round,a and two more in round two the two damaged ships are now destroyed bringing total losses for Player A to 4 ships not 2

It is important to not however, that I do factor in maneuverability*. first off the player with a larger maneuverability get's an attack bonus. i.e. your normal attack is multiplied by the ratio of your maneuverability to your opponents (only for the side with greater maneuverability). so if player A has a maneverability of 1000 and B has a maneuverability of 750 player A will have a 1.333333 multiplyer with his attack (so an attack of 1000 just became 1333 when figuring the battle.)

Additonally the player with higher maneuverability get's an advantage to their side. So in my previous example if Player A is better at long range then 3 of 5 rounds will be at long range, if not then 3 of 5 will be at short range. The larger the ratio of maneuverabilities the more rounds you will have fought where you are in an advantage.

* It's actually average maneuverability of all ships on your side in use.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

We didn't have to go to war if you want me to use your oldies for target practice.
