Sigh, that is the way it has ALWAYS been. You always use all torps * 10. This hasn't changed since BNT code which is about 2 years old.

This is NOT a bug so people DEAL with it. With the addition of shields that need to be hammered down it is going to be harder for those torps to get through.

Anyway you apparently attacked someone who had a ship with nothing on it to defend itself either.

This has NOT changed for two years and if you have been playing BNT, NGS or even our game during the past 6-10 months then you have been fighting ship to ship using the EXACT SAME combat. So why complain now?

The only difference is that we JUST changed, for the 0.12 release, the combat so SHIELDS are taken into account. Before all a player had to do was destroy all of the other players armor to defeat them. Now you have to destroy all of their armor AND shields.

I have tested this many times using different ship configurations. You are very wrong in your assumption on what it will take to kill a ship. A level 24 ship can easily take out, say, a level 21 ship and if you are lucky a 22. I know I tested this using different ship configurations against each other.

The closer a player is to the tech levels used for offense and defense the more likely you both with bounce off each other and not destroy each other the first time you attack. But if you attack a player who is close to your tech levels multiple times, just like a planet, you WILL eventually kill them.

Everyone these are temporary fixes as we intend to completely rewrite ship to ship combat in the near future.

Yes, PLEASE just focus on upgrading shields.

We like to see you die so easily in ship to ship combat.

You really don't know how ship to ship works now do you.
