--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your class 4 vs enemy class 4: V ^
you:
2 motherships
1 shipyard
1 research center

1 mothership



1 defensive array defends in class 3: 1 ship






1 plague ship infected the fleet

----------------------------------------------
defensive array
a defense system that destroys up to 200 class 1, 40 class 2 and 4 class 3 ships. in each class fight it gets one attack, so it varies in the damage depending on the number of class battles. this building cannot be rebuilt once it is destroyed.

lifepoints: 500

It should activate in every class battle, each time killing 50/10/1

hmm strange....
It should do 4 class 3, but however it says

[Guest]

[Lou of East from West]

So if enemy got no class 1, and I have, it is not considerd as class 1 subbattle?
same for c2 and c3 ?

the defensive array must be attacked directly so it can work in every battle...
u got ships class 1, 2 n 3, that is why the defensive array only got active when it was attacked by the enemy`s class 4...

also your enemy didnt have any class 1 or 2, if u dont have any class 1, 2 or 3, your defensive array will only destroy 1 ship in class 3 battle (and the rest of the ships will destroy your DA)

[masterp]

the description says only up to 4 ships in class 3!
so if you have luck you will destroy 4 ships other way uo to 4 ships!

Sorry, the anonymous post above is from me.
darkwolf is right and as i said: "forget the description", It´s not explicit (sometimes even wrong).
The DA doesn´t do anything when it doesn´t have its turn.

[steven1982]

[Tofu]

It shot only 1 (as you can see in the syntax which i posted above, for your convenience) class3, because it had only 1 turn. If you don´t have class1,2&3, but your opponent has, the DA shoots 4 times (like cyclopses, apollos & dreads can shoot 3 times, if you don´t use class1&2).
Example:
class1 vs. DA: kills 50/10/1
class2 vs. DA: kills 50/10/1
class3 vs. DA: kills 50/10/1
class4 vs. DA: kills 50/10/1
---------------------------------
In total, the DA kills: 200/40/4

[steven1982]

ah ic now, thanks for explaining it a bit more

You are right!

@Tofu
No man u are wrong, well at least u was!

I look at my previos br and ur theory holds ground,

BUT!

I remember from last round:
class 1 vs class 1
bla bla
DA activates in class 1 (up to 50)/(up to 10)/(up to 1)
class 2 vs class 2
bla bla
DA activates in class 2 (up to 50)/(up to 10)/(up to 1)
class 3 vs class 3
bla bla
DA activates in class 3 (up to 50)/(up to 10)/(up to 1)
class 4 vs class 4
bla bla
DA activates in class 4 (up to 50)/(up to 10)/(up to 1)

maybe something was changed, but i'm 100% that it did activate in every class battle!

[The Stalker]

Tofu is correct.

If the base fleet has all classes it shoots once in class 4.

If a fleet spot is empty it shoots again etc etc. So it is most valuable and most vulnerable when u have nothing in base fleet.

[darklim]

The Defensive Array ONLY destroy ship if it get the turn, the defensive array only attack [b}1[/b] time so it only destroy 1 ship (abusing BBcode)
Because enemy don't have class 1 or class 2

And Lou, maybe your battle report are buggy or your memory is bad
