Actually, my ships (not fleet -they were set to break formation) did have point blank strategy. And half of them were cruisers. And we had equal engines tech.

Geo,

You forget that quantum torpedoes do much more damge than PPB. It should only take about TWO hits to cripple one of his ships. The point is I only hit ONE of his ships more than ONCE (even w/ combat sensors 3).

And I agree that the odds were closer to 2-1 -um, shouldn't I win 2-1 odds? The thing is, my ships were firing like they had 1% accuracy. Is it possible that Askan had 160% defense?? I don't mean to whine, I'm just wondering how to avoid future slaughters (or how to be on the winning side of a slaughter).

Maybe there should be a limit of 100% defense and 100% to-hit.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.
