Attack Report [x

x]
Attacker Loss: 0 Defender Loss:0
winnings Metal:0 Crystal:0 Deuterium:0
Debris Metal:0 Crystal:0
Now in overview stands
Raids : 13 | Wins : 12 | Losses : 1
What does it means?
1. I didn't lost any ship, so how can I have 1 loss.
2. Why didn't I got anything - is it empty storages on the planet - can it be?

It's a tie; the battle lasted more than six rounds.

so, why is it 1 loss in my status - because I've got nothing?
and can it be that nobody lost anything during the battle?

Ties do indeed count as losses. Probably because you did not get to the resources.
And yes, that is possible. For example, send 1 BS against a large shield dome (or sim it). Nothing really happens.

Yeah. i think it's kinda strange though. I think it should show:
Raids : xxx | Wins : xxx | Losses : xxx | Draws : xxx
Or something like that...

Any attack that does not get through is a failure. You have spent the deut, and not gained the res. A tie means that the defender has succeeded in holding off the attacking for 6 rounds. In other words, unless there were simply too ships ships to slice through completely, then the attacker has usually failed his goal.

But the Draw=Loss system is the same for the defender, even though the defender's only goal is to hold off the attack. Just me making a suggestion, though. No need for me to hijack this thread for a suggestion when its in the help section.

I'm new so don't laugh if this sounds stupid but . . I sent my excess Deut along for the ride when I attacked an inactive. My battle also ended in a tie. Like the opening post, my report said I got nothing out of it. So my question is . . Did my excess Deut drop on the planet or come home with my fleet?
(My idea behind sending the excess Deut was like keeping it in a savings bank so I wouldn't accidentally spend it.)
Is there a way to examine my fleet while in flight to see what it is carrying for cargo?

Yes, it should have come back with your fleet. And your idea about using your fleet missions to store resources is not incorrect.
And yes there is a way to see the cargo loaded onto the fleet. On the overview screen, you should see the individual missions. Locate the particular fleet in question and mouse over the portion that lists the Fleet Mission. A drop down should appear with the amount aboard.
