For some reason the frame disappeared from the post... it's back now, though.

As I guess, in this simulator the attack roll is 1 to maximum, and the defence roll is 0 to maximum. Is this true for the game?

Wonderfull. Thank you very much Darth Kryo.

A small glitch I found: I always get

Attacking fleet is victorious!

even when the defenders are victorious.

Eep, copy-paste mistake. Fixed now.

I haven't been able to get a straight answer myself, so that's just what I set it to do for now.

is my readin on this correct offense is always better then defence even when it is the right counter- for example 10 missle verse 5 missle def and 5 lazer attack 10 missle usually wins?

The formula has to be more complicated than the one being used in the simulator (no offense, it's not your fault that the devs haven't spilled the beans on the combat mechanics) because a little bit of defense seems to own up hard in the game against purely offensive ships of small and medium size.

The formulae in here are drop-dead simple, and according to the devs, correct. The only possible difference I can see is if there's a difference in the actual randomness of PHP and C's rand() functions.

Have the devs confirmed if attack and defence rolls are 1-max or 0-max?

According to Cari all rolls are min 0, the sim has been readjusted accordingly.

According to Cari all rolls are min 0, the sim has been readjusted accordingly.

1...N would lead to deadlocks. Each ship has attack 1 (any type) and defense >= 1 (any type). Each attack would roll a 1 and each defense would roll >= 1, blocking the attack and resulting in no damage. Since battles continue until one side is destroyed you would have an infinite loop.

Nothing to download. Just use the thing at the top of this thread. Go on... it's interative!!!
