    • Expedition results depend on the points of the Top Player in the universe.
      Those boundaries I listed are the Point boundaries for the Top Player of the universe, if the top player has over 1mil points then you'll get better results than if the top player has 500K points.
    • On .it we are talking about the relationship between reloc and activity star (don't know why they are :P)

      If activity will be moved to the new colony or resetted and reloc considered as a new movement or the new colony will don't have activity anymore...
    • Made some alterations. Added bit about expeditions - again still not final/complete version ;)
      If activity will be moved to the new colony or resetted and reloc considered as a new movement or the new colony will don't have activity anymore...
      I don't know, will find out asap :)

      Events:
      - A appears on the current planet/moon with click on reload at eventlist, sensor phalanx and fleet movement.
      - A appears on the current planet/moon with auto-reload at eventlist and fleet movement.
      - NEW foreign fleets ONLY appears in the eventlist with click on reload.

      Are u sure aboute the last 2?
      Because it seems that the auto-reload not cause * (sure a normal behavior caused to arrival of the mission, but not from the auto-reload).
      I'm almost sure that foreing fleets appears also with auto-reload (sure, not the flashing triangle because the page isn't reloaded)

      Sry for my bad english :)
    • please clairify this for me. if a moon is destroyed any ships deployed to that moon are recalled to its origin correct? people are claiming that ships deployed to a moon that is destroyed, deploy to its planet instead and can be seen in lanx. i know before it always recalled to its origin and cannot be lanxed. i dont see where this update says that has changed. so i assume it's still the same. the ships deployed to a destroyed moon return where it was sent from and cannot be lanxed. in other words any ships seen returning to a destroyed moons planet on lanx were NOT deployed to the destroyed moon. but were sent on a returning mission FROM the moon destroyed. such as transport, harvest, colonize, acs defend etc. they claim it shows in lanx as deploy. i would think any ships seen on deploy mission to a planet were sent to the planet not to a destroyed moon of the planet.

          - Ships and defense under construction. They are lost!

        • The "Destroyed moon" (red coloured):
          - Is owned by the account "space" until the final deletion.
          - Research is set to zero.
          - Prevents the arise of a new moon
          - Still attackable (even by the original owner)

      Building and researching in two clicks.
      This new feature allows you to speed up the construction time of a building by 50% of it's initial construction time with every click.
      This new option will allow you to finish a buidling/shipyard queue/research in two clicks, but in exchange, you will have to pay huge Dark Matter fees.
      The first activation will halfen the initial construction time, and the second will finish the buidling/shipyard queue/research
      Every single activation will cost an amount of Dark Matter based on the initial buidling/researching time.
      examples:
      1. Building X takes 10 days to be built. The first activation will reduce the time to 5 days, and the 2nd activation will reduce the time by 50% of the initial construction time, which is 5 days [not 2.5], meaning, the second activation will finish the construction.
      2. Building x takes 10 days to be built, it still has 6 days until it's done, by activating the feature, it's construction time will be cut by 50% of the initial construction time, 5 days, meaning that the building will be done in 1 day.
      3. Building X that takes 10 days to be built, has 3 days until it's done, activating the feature will finish the building, but the price you pay is the one for a 50% reduction.
      Costs:
      If Krakens, Detroids and Newtrons can be bought with resources, this feature is a premium one and it requires Dark Matter to be used. It needs huge amounts of Dark Matter in order to not be "abused" by players.
      The price is set according to the initial building/research time, but it has minimum and maximum limits:
      Buildings and shipyard queues need a minimum 750 DM up to a maximum of 72,000 DM (exact price is set based on the initial building time).
      Research need a minimum of 750 DM up to a maximum of 108,000 DM (exact price is based on the initial research time).

      Planets overviews:



      Changes:
      In every menu you can now see a bar with fleet movements. It shows the number of your own missions, as well as any friendly and hostile missions heading to your planet. By clicking on the fleet bar, the entire fleet details will be displayed.
      The building menu is now divided into "resources" and "facilities". In "resources" are all buildings that are connected to resources. You can also build solar satelites from there. Under "facilities" you can find all other buildings.
      The "technology" is no longer directly linked in the menu, but is now located in the description of every ship, defense, building or research. There's an additional techtree which tells you specifically what you need to be able to build the desired item.
      Drop-down menu was removed and replaced by the pictures on the right side. Clicking on them changes the location to any other planet/moon.
      The planet's surface image depends on the planet's temperature. There are more variations of pictures: desert, jungle or ice pictures. When you build a mine, it appears on the picture.
      Requirements for buildings and more details are only avaliable by clicking on the icon. Starting a construction does not require opening a detailed view though - you may just click the green arrow to start the building.
      If the requirenments to start a building are not met, the building is crossed over with lighter lines. The construction button in detailed view is greyed out.
      The menu on the left side was shortened and the arrangement of buttons was changed.

      Information about moons

      Moonchance Probabilities
      • There are often questions about the chances of getting a moon with multiple attempts. The following is the clearest explanation that I have ever come across regarding the matter.

      • The "20% moonshot" events are independent, and any one of them has a 20% chance of creating a moon, independently of previous attempts. If you want to work out the chances of getting at least 1 moon in a number of attempts, you can do so as follows...

      • The chance of a moon *not* occurring is 80% or 0.8. (Probability of No Moon = P)

      The only way that a moon will *not* occur in 2 attempts is if the first attempt does not create a moon AND the second chance does not create a moon.

      P(NO MOON) * P(NO MOON)
      0.8 x 0.8 = 0.64

      So you can say using 2 attempts, there is a 64% chance of no moon, or a 36% chance of getting one by the end of the 2nd attempt.

      For 3 attempts...
      P(NO MOON) * P(NO MOON) * P(NO MOON)
      0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.512

      Chance of no moon after 3 attempts is ~ 51%, chance of at least one moon by the end of 4 attempts is therefore ~49%.

      The following table lists the chances of getting at least one moon by the end of so many attempts

      1 attempt 20%
      2 attempts 36%
      3 attempts 49%
      4 attempts 59%
      5 attempts 67%
      6 attempts 74%
      7 attempts 79%
      8 attempts 83%
      9 attempts 87%
      (100 attempts 99.999999979629640236655139137316%)

      Taken from Moon Chances

      1. Moon Size and Fields

      Firstly, there is no field limit on a moon.

      Moon sizes are not completely random. They are indeed affected by the percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher the chances are of getting a big moon. It's possible to get a 4k moon on 19% or an 8k moon on 1%, but it's very very unlikely. The exception is a successful 20% chance, this will ALWAYS give a moon of at least 8000km.

      Moons start with one free field, this means that you need to build a Lunar Base first, when this is complete you will be given another 3 fields (using 1/4). If you want to expand a decent amount then you need to reserve one of these fields for the next Lunar Base, leaving 2 spare fields.
