[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="laudablepuss"]I lied, I want to <a href="https://forums.galciv4.com/513360/inconsistant-and-unfair-battle-resuls">point out another busted thing.</a> Take a look at the 9th reply, by PaulLach. I feel like Star Dock doesn't know how to design a game, or forgot, or don't care, or some combination of all three. (I give OP a little slack, she's clearly frustrated and annoyed.)[/quote] I guess I should just quote it, since this isn't a bug per se but a game design issue. [quote]what I believe is happening is the following: * at the start of each round of combat, each ship selects a target + the algorithm for selecting a target does not appear to limit the number of ships targeting a single enemy ship based on how many ships are likely to be needed to destroy the target. This leads to a lot of wasted salvos as too many ships target the same enemy ship. * after all targets have been selected, each ship fires its weapons * the result of each salvo is calculated and applied to its target + if a ship is destroyed, all salvos targeted at it continue to hit it wasting a lot of ammunition + salvos that are fired by an enemy ship that is destroyed during the combat round will continue on to their target # this means that, with the current logic requiring that every salvo will do at least 1 damage, your ships will always be damaged in combat even if your fleet is vastly superior to the enemy's fleet It would be nice if the devs would adjust the[/quote]
