Incidentally, I could confirm all of your fleet sizes except Espionage Probes. My math shows they produce 240 M and 1800 Crystal for 2040 DF...

1,900,000 / 2040 = 932 rounded up. (Not 3.726)

Am I missing something? Each of the other three came out exactly when I checked them on my own.

Thanks

No, I didn't miss anything. I'll make a big deal of this because I think it is important for people to know how long it will take to get a moon.... The probabilities I posted are based on independent trials. The probability of getting a Moon in two trials is .19 + .81 * .19 (that is, you could get i...

Excellent, I think that's very clear (I'll find out when I try to use it!) BTW. The odds of 63 failed moonshots at 19% chance on each shot... it's approximately the same as tossing 19 consecutive heads on a coin! If a player did 63 consecutive moonshots every day, it would take 1436 years before he ...

As with all things on these forums, there's lots of information. But it is split into fractions and one has to piece together the picture. As I understand it, to do an effective MoonShot with an Alliance partner, it would go something like this: Abel - is assisting Moony - is getting the Moon Abel b...

Very recently, in order to better understand ZE, I have been writing down my ranking at various intervals. I not only record my overall rank, but the points that count towards Building, Resources, Fleet and Defense. I have noticed something interesting and I wonder if somebody could educate me. The ...

So, here is an interesting scenario. I doubt it is a bug, but seems a bit out of the ordinary and opens up a pretty nasty little strategy. I have a neighboring planet who shows as a (n) because he is less than 20% of my points. Even though we cannot attack each other, he was able to lob some missile...

Reading the information on IPMs they state that they are offensive, intended to destroy defense. I don't understand why they are listed in Technologies under Defense. Do they have Defensive value. Also, they mention that APMs are the only defense against IPMs. I assume that is a typo...they mean ABM...

But what the heck does this mean?

Pooling the income will stop it from getting high enough to make you a profit...

There are no hits on the term 'profit'

What is this evil thing called profit?

Excellent answers, thanks. I'll have to experiment with colonies to get the feel of what you are saying. Follow-up questions: 5. Can Colonies be destroyed? 6. Why in the world would I want to transport my own resource between my own territories? That seems totally bizarre! I obviously still miss an ...

So many questions and often frustrating :Doh: to have to hunt through piles of posts to try to get to an answer. 1) Here's one that I've tried to answer by searching, but cannot construct the proper query: Can my home planet be destroyed? [Or, do I just lose lots of resources and live to fight anoth...
