AGO shows incorrect number of cargo ships for attack mission

Nevjernik · Feb 28th 2015, 9:39am

Hi people, i'm wondering why does it show wrong number of Small or Large cargos when it comes to attack?
For example i want to attack a person that has 500K resources. I would plunder 250k (50%) of it and AGO shows me that the first wave really is 250k. But it doesn't show that 50 Small cargos are required, but instead 63+. Is there a fix for this? It ALWAYS requires 20% more cargos (regardless of being small or large).

I figured that their capacity is calculated wrong. Small cargos can store 4K and Large cargos 20K which is incorrect.

you don't just get 50% of the resources. the plunder also depends on the available cargo space and the ratio between met / crys / deut on the planet.

how to calculate plunder:

1. fill 1/3 of capacity with met
2. 1/2 of the remaining capacity is filled with crystal
3. fill the rest with deuterium
4. if there is still capacity left, 1/2 of it is filled with metall again
5. the remaining capacity is filled with crystal

e.g, if there is only metal on a planet, only 2/3 of the cargo capacity is used (1/3 + 2/3 * 1/2) and you have to send more ships

Also in the fleet section you have a setting "Send more ships for plundering than needed". That way if an inactive produces more ress in the time your fleet takes to get there, you will be sending enough ships for that as well. I have mine set to 7% but you can set as high as 20%.
