shouldnt of my DA kill 3 more cruisers of the enemy's?

defensive array (class 4 building)
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.

so i should have gotten 179 points right? someone please explain why my DA is mentally challenged?

i dont mean to answer my own question but i found out why my DA is Ga.y...

reduces LP to 0 of 50 ships of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in class 1 but some ships are immune against destruction
battlemessage: "defensive array defends in class 1: ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: destroy,enemy,50,1,all,defensive array defends in class 1
reduces LP to 0 of 10 ships of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in class 2 but some ships are immune against destruction
battlemessage: "defensive array defends in class 2: ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: destroy,enemy,10,2,all,defensive array defends in class 2
reduces LP to 0 of 1 ship of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in class 3 but some ships are immune against destruction
battlemessage: "defensive array defends in class 3: ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: destroy,enemy,1,3,all,defensive array defends in class 3

so why is the description not changed? admin should change it.. i lost a few points thinking that my DA would take out a couple extra ships than it did... actually the other numbers arent correct either.. wtf?... admin should do something about this.. and why is it less???? not cool..

Orcus...as a new player you will find the descriptions for many ships are misleading. I wish I would have kept a list but now I don't see them as I don't read the descriptions as close as I did when first starting.
It used to really PMO when the ship didn't do what it's description claimed it should.
It would be a good idea to change as many as can be found as I really found that a major irritant when trying to learn the game.

Your DA did what it said it would do, it was activated ONCE and it would have destroyed 50 c1, 10 c2, 1 c3....therefor it killed one cruiser. Had it been activated 4 times (you would have had 0/0/0/4 at base) then you would have had EACH class attack your class 4, and the array would have activated 4 times....so it's functioning PERFECTLY.

Learn about class battles and how to read the battle syntax.

i think the description is very accurate:

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.

One phrase I used to curse was " some ships and buildings are immune to this effect" .
I used to get so angry that the description could tell me it won't work against some combo's but would not tell me what one's.
It was like a little riddle within the game. Find the ship or building that this ship will not work against.
