building a moon

Ive been missing out on some recycles runs with metal at 50k crystal at 50k plus.. seems like a moon comes along after. so whats up with a moon..

the only way to get a moon is pure luck. when you crash a fleet if there is enough debris where the crash occurred there is a chance you can get a moon. the highest chance being 20% but this doesn't always mean you will get one.

Ive checked on wiki , do u mean crash my fleet in to my planet? looks like 2k light fighters should do it?

we're in a 40% debris universe if i figured correctly it would be something like 1250 light fighters to hit 20% moonchance which is 2,000,000 debris

math on this

3k metal and 1 k crystal cost each 4k total res
at 40% df
1250 * 4000 = 5,000,000 *40% = 2,000,000
at 30% df
1667 * 4000 = 6,668,000 * 30% = 2,000,400

just remember that if you go by the chart seed posted thats for a 30% debris universe. barym is 40% into debris. so figure that you need 75% of the fleets listed to achieve the same amount of debris

Thanks for pointing that out, slipped my mind. I know you find that hard to believe.

its ok seed. everyone makes mistakes

building a moon shot fllet of small cargos . take about 10 days to get ready. i want to put a moon at 1:412:7.. any one with a moon allready wanna b attacker?

Want to trade ? =)

sure .. ill add a attack force of light foghters ..

So how would this work.. ? Do I just build 1250 small cargo ships and crash it into your planet?

if i understand it correctly. 1 attacks. 1 defends .. but ....stryfe wants in .. so 2 attack 1 defend ? well its moon shot n there is a slight chance of a moon forming.but not forming also.. ok if we do a 3 way , whats our best chance , with small carg...oh where do we go first . llya i will attack u first, now lets build up a fleet of small cargo , oh stryfe will what ?

please dont do a moonshot with SC but with LF!!!

lf cost 3k 1k
SC cost 2k 2k

crystal is more expensive so use LF!!

ok ill build light fighters . hope they can travel that far ...

they can:P

just fly on lower %

3 way would be like tbolt > stryfe > llysa > tbolt?

I haven't started building any ships yet. So 1250 LF ?

yep:)

ok templer wants in .. in a quandry . as to how to do this ? but if im right ? sounds like 2 on 2 . so thats 800 light fighters.each or 3 on 1 . then its ah..what 600 each ..?. i wonder if there is a better way to do this ?say some one with a fleet allready to do the attacks?

It's easier now that we have even numbers - can just pair up. Each will need a 1250 Lf fleet to attack the other person. Only details left are who's attacking whom, when, and who is collecting the debris.

but if we do 3 on 1 .. the 3 have lower numbers each.meaning light fighters right. so now the 3 have it easier. only the 1 has to come up with the big number..think about it......oh should b no debris field if . moon appears..

my way to do "moonshot":
1- send 1 spying probe with mission attack
2- send 1250LF + 1 reck with mission attack
3- immediately after number 2 - send 110 recks with mission "collect debris"

my comments:
the debris will be collected around 30 seconds after it appears
the debris will appear always, no matter if moon is created or not
defense of the planet has to be strong enough to kill 1250 LFs easily

so if i read this correctly . defense dosent need a fleet. correct?just nasty mad dog killer defense correct ?

yes correct....
