Ok i got an idea...a little test about a battle situation in which, specially, the noobs can show and improve their skills with our devices or we will just see whos the next noob that we shall train and surely will become the greatest.

We will start with a low difficulty test...a bit tricky but not that hard, i hope just noobs answer if you know the answer please keep it with you, if you post it you will be first known as a noob and second we will lose the emotion about the little race.
Of course the test is over when someone gives the right answer and everybody repeats it or after 1 or 2 days.

Question 1

In the following battle situation you must choise the best ship to use against a prophet

Enemy has 1 prophet and the rest of his mp on c2 ships in the same fleet
You will have different ships depending on your raze

a)E-ray: You researched the spectre first, so you just have spectres and standard ships
b)Kazuula: You just have interceptors and standard ships
c)Micyolid: You just have cyclops and standard ships
d)Nanite: You just have nanobombers and standard ships
e) Human: You just have Dreadnoughts and standard ships

Which is the best way to proceed? and to get more points? Please take in account ALWAYS the worst case.

Greetings

i hope this is where the answer should be posted well if i was any race i would simply send in 1 fighter and 1 mothership as it says when the prophet comes into battle it also destroys the whole fleet in which it is in.

If it were to be hitting my base i would put all my motherships into base and with the three fleets i have i would put 1 fighter in each and hopefully it would hit one of those three fleets then my base first.

i hope this is the way you wanted the answer and i hope it is correct.

Great Idea Rubens !
If I can help in any way, let me know.
Maybe even other experienced players could also contribute with battle situations or even non-experienced players could contribute for that matter as long as the situations are not remote possibilities .

Thanks T2, well if anyone has an idea plz contact me using the PM of this forum and then i may give you my msn. For the one who asked i am CFC Rubens of CFC Hincha.

And no, you ought to post the answr here, so we can all discouss about it and the other people could think if your answer was good enough.

To Iuz, plz attach your self to the conditions of the first post, even so your example is not right.

I will now give the answer, just to make the first example of how to answer and then we can start new tests to get new answers

Well first, the only one who gave an answer is Jaffa, please read what Connor said, even so your answer has logic.

With the ships mentioned you can always get the first turn and destroy the prophet. If you destroy the prophet it wont be activated so it wont destroy enemy's class 2.
Yes you have to use standard ships, but now, the same case above goes with a fighter, destroyer and crusier, so if we attach our ideas to the condition of "the worst case" the best way to get points for sure is attacking with a Mothership. Yes "attack" with it.

Then the answer is all the options.


I hope you liked this first test, maybe i will learn too if i make mistakes.


PD:As Jaffa said, i tmay attack your base, but it could destroy an important building(=500) which is worst than a Mothership(=320)
PD2: The next test tomorrow

A scout may fail. Given Rubens' scenario, a ms is best. Overall though, I would rather use a nanovirus

But you dont have in that scenario:P

Well seems that the topic is really requested...So another situation? Well i am still waiting your PMs people...Maybe i shall start with the really easys.

Plz this is just for noobs... i dont think it wil take more than 2 hours

Your enemy has all his mp on cruseir without c1, c2 or c4, so, having just standard ships too what will you do?

a)Put all my mp on fighters
b) " " " " " destroyers
c) " " " " " crusiers
d) " " " " " MS(never do this people)
e) Put my mp on a variety of the ships above in 1 or more fleets

Conditions: there is not a base( any side), enemy's mp is 4140 (really far away from the BH) and your total mp is 4976.

It could be a really easy question, but 4 years ago i thought the crusier had bersek and with 70 crusier i could kill 7000 fighters.( WHICH CANT HAPPEN FRIENDS!)

all on cruisers. You can make more cruisers, there will be no random factor, seeing as they are the sme ships, and it will only matter who fires first, and who has more. Is that the right answer?

No KOT...that was a noob comment...i thought you knew more than that, but luckly ou will learn here...

Just 2 chances per person in tests like this...You can already delete 2 options...My question to you, how can you make more points with the same crusiers than he? Senseless...

Time for the answer.

al12 pm'ed me and told me he would use mass of fighters because you will have more ships even having less firepower.

So...first, everybody has to understand, if a crusier has 100 ap(attack power) it dosnt mean it can kill many ships till get the 100 ap tottally used. No...a ship has turns, and it will only fight once, so vs a fighter it will just attack 1 fighter, then it will turno into a 1/-99 ship and thats all

Second, remember its not about the ships you lose is about the difference on how many ships you lose and how many you can kill.

The right answer is, of course the option B)...We did discard other options, so the last one has no sense because you will lose more ships each battle and the option A) is not good enough. You may lose 69 fighters only but you just can kill 49 cruseros, using destroyers you lose 69 destroyers but you destroy even more crusiers, you just had to calculate it.

In the next post another test

For everyone except people that have joined any time on the first 50 players of the hall of fame

How to kill a ship in this scenario

Enemy : 7 Cruseriers 1 Major reconstructor

You just have 69 of mp (there is no MS just a battle situation) and you just have standard ships. We will continue about using standard ships....its easy tough but a bit tricky

Tough one Rubens...I can't figure out how to kill 7 cruisers and a reconstructer with only 69 mp of basic ships.
I can't wait for the answer

Well, you could always use 10 fighters and 10 bounty hunters, which would be a whopping 50 mp... best to use 14 and 14 for a total of 70...that just about guarantees total kills even with fighter/BH shuffle at beginning of battle.....but they are not basics....

I'm assuming basics are defined as fighter, destroyer, cruiser, MS...any others?
