Invulnerable Challenge - Warning... Spoilers!

BIG SPOILER!!!

I have played a quite aggressive strategy. I started to build a warp point opener instantly in the biggest 8000M planet (because the high build rate). After I got that ready I started to attack against Sharks with my ships. I didn't had lots of them but my baseships were superior against Shark's ships (all of them didn't even have a talisman!). The shield accelerator, shard cannon and talisman is a lethal combination.

The game date is now 2411.9 and I just send my first small (scout) fleet of 40 ships to the Sharks Last system. As I expected it got annihilated completely at the first wave.

The biggest problem are storms. That first scout fleet has a storm destroyer accompanying and it got no damage when it entered to the storms. From this I deduced that a fleet with a storm destroyer won't suffer the damage from storms. Wrong. I lost my big fleet completely (about 150 baseships).

I've now tested storms and the obvious result is that at every day there is about 50% chages to get the whole damage or get nothing. And it should be noticed that it's per day so a fleet will be undamaged or totally destroyed.

Those seven storms in Terradome are deadly, if I have a bad luck they'll inflict 1400 damage to my ships! Perhaps some organic armor would be good!

Asmala, please write "Spoiler" as the lead in to your Last post, so active players may choose to avoid it... Thanks!

Yes it is true that storm damage varies because of the % to get all or nothing. Some players make it through ok while others get obliterated!

So first... ya got to ask yourself... "Do I feel lucky..."

Albeit your losses, you are still doing great. You have them cornered... Methinks your second wave should get it right...
