Yes, I know this.... again two things..

1, WP's are distroyed before the planet takes damage. So ECM's should work for the WP's?? Don't you think??

2, I have watched the "hit damage" points on a planet that is being attached by a ship with 7 or more Polaron weapons. The weapon on this ship can do 165 points of damage per hit. When this ship fires at the planet with WP's (without ECM's), its hit rate is 100%, or 165 points (which doesn't change by adding ECM's!). I have then watched a ship fire three out of it seven polaron weapons, distroying the Last of the WP's. I then watched the planets "hit damage" points REDUCE to 160 points for the other four shots, and until the planet is completely destroyed? If WP's were acting as a sheild it would be the other way around.

We are only talking a 3% difference but I am thinking like you. The Weapons platforms should give some amount of protection to the planet as they draw the fire away from the facilities, at least until all weapons platforms are destroyed. I mean you wouldn't run outside naked, shoting a ships would ya!? All turrents I have ever seen have armor??

It's 3am Saturday morning here and I'm not one who can afford to lose beauty sleep. Till the next time? Great talking with you people.
