Default Re: Suicidal Ships?

I think this is how it happened. The key elements are your fleet's speed of 5 and 7 attacks by the fighters. This means the fighters have speed of 7.

Your fleet will move on days 6, 12,18, 24 and 30.
The fighters will move on days 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28.

The fighters first move is to attack you! And it happens before you can move. As long as ONE ship has its speed reduced to 3, it can again attack before you can move (Speed 3 move on days 10, 20 and 30). Once he has the speed of one ship down to 1, you can't move till day 30! That slow ship probably won't even be able to get into the battle so it won't be destroyed; in fact if it has no weapons either, it will move off to a neutral corner.

As long as your fleet has speed of 1 on day thirty, it should then move onto the planet. If speed is zero, you will stay put.

Hope this helps.
