Someone may have done this already, but I keep seeing the same mistakes that can be avoided. So I am starting a video series of advanced topics. Take a peek and let me know thoughts and ideas to make them better.
First one - how to use combat calculator - real world examples:
Great video! I’d be very thankful if you’d make a similar one for using the combat calculator in my Neptune’s Pride Agent Chrome extension and if you do I will link your video directly from the landing page in the Chrome Web Store.
If you cover the combat calculator the key points are:
it only takes into account incoming fleet arrivals based on one hop for each fleet; so if you have a fleet coming in on attack or defence that is 2 or more hops away, you have to adjust with the game combat calculator; and
it does not take into account your or their weapons advances; you have to use the , or . hotkeys to give or get a weapons advantage in the calculation
if you want to see the detailed view you have to go to the long fleet report to see all of what’s happening (usually only necessary for multi-player/multi-fleet battles)
warp gate changes don’t take effect right away and can lead to misleading arrival times (a problem in the game itself)
