Zorg Empire

Hey guys, just a quick question about reflection. How does it work?. I attacked a planet from an inactive with this combination
8 Large Cargos
3 LF
1 BS

vs.
1 laser
1 rocket launcher
1 shield dome.

I should've won the battle but somehow i ended up losing my Battleship (retarded to be honest) and the battle ended in a tie, how's this work?. Because it was very annoying and there is no logic explanation to how i lost my Battleship (battlewise maybe it shot itself?).

Try looking around a little first

Thanks, i didn't know 3 LF were good enough to destroy a BS, and i'm pretty sure they aren't, but ok. There's the chance alright, pretty stupid i guess. How about if i had sent 3 BS, there's still a chance i'll lose 1 because of reflection?.

is the shield it is hard to destroy with such a low number of ships. you need at least 10 bs i think to bust a shield. i would use 20 to be sure

i have once sent only 3 battleships and 10 large cargos on a raid, and none of it came back and the guy only had 1 thing

large sheild dome

now i send my whole fleet just to be safe.

What? You don't send have to send your whole fleet. Just make it has around 20k firepower. I usually add a couple extra ships just in case

i just hit 100 raids
and about 75-80 of the raids i didnt need to send my whole fleet, but i did anyway, im just going to start sending this

100 large cargo
500 light fighter
15 cruisers
20 battleships

then i will save the "big-boy" ships for the people that have defense.

I go with Sadbutrue's answer. Shield domes are not that easy to destroy.
Shield domes and RIPS are the major causes of ships going down even if they are not suppose to.
Over killing a shield dome also leads to the same result.

Thanks for your answers! also i see rapid fire is not implemented yet thus my calculations are way off .
Will it take long to implement though?.
