Attack, first?!?
I never seen anything like it, does cyclops have better initiative, or something like it?

[Liderant]

who attack first is random,and it doesnt depent in which the ships are
ok

Look all my battle reports: if ships can find target, they attack. No first, no last. They all fire, then the sub-battle points are sumerized!!!

I have dozens of reports, like that, here is one:
your class 1 vs enemy class 1:
you:
813 fighters
enemy:
500 bulk fighters

812 fighters vs 203 bulk fighters

500 bulk fighters vs 500 fighters
losses:
you :
500 fighters
enemy :
203 bulk fighters
score in this subbattle: 109

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your class 2 vs enemy class 2: V ^
you:
163 destroyers
enemy:
10 destroyers

10 destroyers vs 10 destroyers

10 destroyers vs 10 destroyers
losses:
you :
10 destroyers
enemy :
10 destroyers
score in this subbattle: 0

u see, first fight, then summerize. No first, no last.
So if u don't know, don't post. pls. I'm asking to get right answer!

It's not a mystery nor... whatever, but the Algoritham, and I think, somehow, it forget my 900 fighters.

After 41 shots of the class 3 ships all your fighters where destroyed, so the maximum damage you could have done is 41 because you shot first and the last class 3 ship was a cyclops.

Example:
100 fighters vs. 1 cyclops

1 fighter fires and does 1 damage
1 cyclops fires and destroys 100 fighters
--- battle over ---

Another example:
1 fighter vs. 1 cyclops/ 1 plague ship/ 1 cluster cruiser/ 1 minor reconstructor

1 cyclps fires and destroys the fighter
--- battle over ---
The battledrones are not deployed, the enemy fleet is [/not infected and the reconstructor will not reconstruct!!! (I learned that lesson the hard way, too)
