I wonder if anyone can help me to answer a few questions about the raiding part of this game. Dan (one of the dev) was quoted in wiki that the raid outcome is based on the number of crew member and somewhere in the forum also mention that all different type of crew in the ship works the same in terms of raiding.

Yet, I still have a few questions about those claims. How to calculate the effectiveness of the number of crew in affect(s) of the raid successful rate? (i.e. So say if I have 200 crew members in my ship, does it means I have 2/3 raid successful rate against someone who only got 100 crew members in the ship?) How much more resource from raiding can/does each crew increase? Besides the number of crew, is there anything that can affect the successful rate of raiding?

Guys, any help will be appreciated.

1) I don't know
2)The ressource you raid from the enemy seems to go up with his level.
3) The protean Armories (+7% chance at raiding) and Raider proffesion (+30% chance at raiding)

Atlas, thanks for your responds. Would you know how does "chance at raiding" being define in this case? Does it means an affect in terms of successful rate of raids or does it means as a chance of % in terms of resource plundering? (Or something else?) Did the dev say anything about it, or did anyone you know did experiment about it?

Let say in theory that you have 50 % chance at succesfuly raiding me and you have the raider proffesion you will have 30% more chance to Succes in your raid.

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough because it seems that you have understand my question backward. Instead of directly resolving it, your example is leading the discussion back to the original puzzle with an extra layer of uncertainty.

The way to figure out the recipe of that "theoretical 50%" is what I am trying to do, not assuming that I have 50% successful rate at the first place then see if it is more likely that I will success as a comparison based on the assumption. What I need is probably more fact and/or data.

The extra layer of uncertainty is that profession bonus you mentioned. What does 30% more chance of success means? Is that an addition bonus (adding the successful rate up to 80% chance) or is that an multiplier (increase the successful rate from 50% to 65%)? If I can figure out the recipe of the successful rate, I will be able to testify the relationship of this profession bonus. If I don't have the recipe as a base, I am going nowhere.

Anyway, thanks for trying.

I think that mean if you had 50% chance at succesfuly raiding me (no the ammount of ressource) well with the raider profession you would have 80% chance.

i've kept an eye on updating that raiding wiki page, but i have no idea how the base %success gets calculated. i just know that i've only crit-failed twice ... i like me my 2630 crew (18.26 crew / rank)

21.5 crew/rank

The formula for raiding is unknown, but the raider and armor bonus boost the % of the chance you have

so your example you would have 65% not 80%.
