Class 2 Missiles count as Class 3?

[Venom]

Now with this report, the attack has no class 3 ships, i have 15, why didn't i destroy his mothership? Did the class 2 missile boats shooting missiles at class 3 count as class three? If so that's not right. No class three, i should have been able to hit his mothership.

Yes, the missiles count as class 3

Why 10 missile-launchers launched 1 missile? They should launch 10 missile - even if they are not attacked.

[Lord Philemon]

You're right, they also shoot when they are not attacked. But they also didn't have an enemy to shoot against because the enemy destroyer was destroyed before they got their turn.
BTW: The topic actually is wrong, cause missiles are class 3 ships

[admin]

actually this part

[Lord Philemon]

I think you misunderstood me, admin. I didn't mean the description is wrong but the threadtopic as it says class 2 missiles against class 3.

Lord -- It is quite confusing. The missile-launchers is in class 2 and launchers class 3 missiles.
So if I had 10 missile-launchers & the enemy had 10 destroyers, my missile-launchers will launch 10 missiles to attack his class 3 ships -- is it correct.

[Lord Philemon]

No, it is not!
You have to imagine it's a bit like this:
The people inside the ship don't know what sort of ship they are in. They just know if they press a certain button the ship will "shoot". So they will try to fight against class 2 (if they are class 2) even if they actually damage another class. And if there is no class 2 ship to "fight" against anymore, they won't shoot...

[Lord Philemon]

Oh sorry, I misread your post.
Your example is right.
And even if the enemy only has one destroyer, your missile-launchers will all shoot as the destroyer never will be destroyed.

I think the missile-launchers should be more intelligent. It should have class 3 ships detector. And launchers missile only if there are class 3 ships. When it is attacked by class 2 ship it should run. Unless there are ships in class 2 to protect them.
