We aren't discussing the battle engine in the slightest. We are discussing what is logged after the battle engine has occurred. So that crystal will be treated with it's correct value as well as deut. I am not wanting to change any of the armor values or anything involving the battle engine.

So if some ships don't use Deut then don't calculate Deut in the losses of those ships....?

U both need to read some of the trends on battle engines then ur see why duet in ship building is a cost for building powerful ships

You are missing the point by a mile...I don't care that deut is used in ships. I care that it's not calculated into the ships deaths.
Next time please make sure you understand what the topic is about before you derail the topic with your posts and then insult the poster.

I think u have to add Deut in u have to add it in the battle engine all ships have a value this is calculated to change it now zorg will have rewrite the lot it has worked fine all these years

Unless the code is from the 1980s I doubt an issue would arise with changing the ship amounts to add in deut. Assuming that the ship amounts are set variables to be accessed when a battle takes place within the code.

Take the small cargo 2500 metal 1500 crystal to build this gives 4000 structure points and 400 armour when killed in battle gives u 400 armour when killed gives 4000 points. Take the lunar 60000 metal 60000 crystal 15000 deut. To build but only metal/crystal is used 120000 structure points gives u 1200 armour if u add in Deut 135000 u will increase the armour of the ships with Deut which will influence the battle engines do u change something for a few more points in battle the raiding points reflexs the value of each resource that's why they are different

Deidara, the deal is the following:

Metal + crystal building cost = TD when killed. (You may say that the deut is only used to solder the parts of the ships together)

Raided amount = 1x metal + 1.5x crystal + 3x deut.

Raided amount = 1x metal +2x crystal + 4x deut

That's what I know it is crew unless its been changed
