this topic is in suggestions ideas but i do belive it needs to be here also
i finally came across a super ssb built ship the ship had no att or defense moduals but had 60k hull and no shields. they also had 3k att and 1200 defense i was at 9600 att and 5500 defense and they were damaging me routinely around 330-400 to my 120-180 for damage. now if you look thats me with over 3 times there att and 4 1/2 times there defense there is no reason at all why they were winning other then the formula is designed poorly. he literally had no att or defensive structures on. i dont care what analagy you use but in no way can logically tell me he should be out damaging me at all.
my reasoning is this your calculators main stat for pvp combat seems to be about deck size not offense or defense i belive that is wrong.

I don't care how big your machine gun is the chances you are able to nail a mosquito with one is nil. Whatever kinda tiny guns that mosquito is using, at least its actually hitting the target.

you probably have a way bigger damage cap then they do.

And he doesn't like it. 2 items im not whining im simply stating the design is wrong. where ever have you seen a ship with no guns or defense ever out damage a larger ship. it doesnt happen the limiting factor should not be about deck size and as i stated the mosquito didnt have better guns then me he had no guns.

They shouldn't be able to do that much damage in comparison.
How about a formula for max damage output? Like 1/2 your rank or decks, whichever is smaller.

The point is you can't hit him. A rock that never misses beats a gun that never hits.

The def value isn't normal def. Its maneuverability. def in the normal sense is hull. there is no hit points, because once the hull is penetrated that's it. And attack and def do have value. As you even said originally he does have attack (which goes against your most recent statement saying he doesn't have guns. just because their aren't extra guns equipped that you can see doesn't mean theres none at all. ALL ships have guns.) That's how he damaged you. And def too has value. His is just more effective than yours

His is just more effective than yours first off your hull is your hit points not your defense . what your doing is saying deck size is defense that is where i disagree with the equations being used because his att and defense value is way below mine. what i have been saying and will continue to say is when 2 ships meat and my att to defense value is a 6 and his is att to defense value is a .54 in no way should his att then do twice the amount of damage as mine

Are the attack values from that ship from using a probe, or what's displayed in the results? If you're going by what's displayed to you, run an attack and def probe on the ship. I'll bet his crew is substantial.

Gl is more like real life. In rl there is no such thing as defense as it is used in alot of games. There is armor though(hull). Also there is also no such thing as hit points. In the real world if you get shot you die. you get through the armor and hit they are dead.
As I have said many times defense equals maneuverability. how fast you can move in case that term is confusing you.
A car with 1k horsepower will move a ton faster than a giant tank will with 2k horsepower.
And guess what? That car can drive so fast even with a smaller engine that it can drive circles around that tank. It can go around faster than that tank can aim. This means that tank never really hits the car directly. But the whole time the car is driving around the tank it is scoring direct hits. Even though it is using a smaller gun and it will take awhile to get through the tanks armor, at least it is hitting.
