Before the VULNERABILITY table, there was a formula to "protect" the expensive fleets.

Now, we have 3 parameters: VULNERABILITY, HP, DMG.

What is the formula to calculate the result of a space battle? And a planetary battle?

Formula is quite simple

di = D*Ni*Vi/Sum(Ni*Vi)

Where:
D - total damage inflicted to entire fleet
di - damage inflicted to group of units of type i from fleet
Ni - number of units of type i
Vi - vulnerability of the unit of type i

Knowing di you can calculate the number of units of type i that will be destroyed.

Formula is quite simple

di = D*Ni*Vi/Sum(Ui*Vi)

Where:
D - total damage inflicted to entire fleet
di - damage inflicted to group of units of type i from fleet
Ni - number of units of type i
Vi - vulnerability of the unit of type i

Knowing di you can calculate the number of units of type i that will be destroyed.




. Ui is the number uf units of type i, the same that Ni?

. Taking in account that Ui is the same that Ni, and in the battle has 3 types of units, Unit type a, type b and type c,
the forumula Sum(Ui*Vi) is the same that (Ua*Va + Ub*Vc + Uc*Vc), is it correct?

. What is the Fagur vulnerability? This information isn't present in the online guide.

. The DMG values in online guide is correct? If yes, How can 150.000 Merc Fighters + 200.000 Merc Spy produce a 8.575.000 DMG and 250.000 Human Figthers + 100.000 Bombers + 1.500 Capital ships produce a 9.275.000 DMG? See Battle Report ID 6 GALAXY DATE: 2:2:8 for more details.

yes Ui = Ni (its a typo)

Fagur don't fight in space. That why it does not have that value.

Don't forget about technologies. Human and Mercs do have them. But I'll check it anyway
