This formula is wrong. Just saying.

had 3460 attack , planet had 2037 attack. had 63% chance. just saying.

You're positive there wasn't anything else on it?

planet had 2037 Attack, no Defence, feel free to crack it...

dropped orbital mass disruptor

63% chance invade.

had 30% boosted attack from artifact (Crystal, Amplifier and obelisk)

Well, with that it's possible your formula was only wrong about the attack's contribution, and it's actually .9*planetAttack instead of .6*planetAttack.

any invasion defense you mightve missed?

his invasion attack was 2995 before the buffs are applied... (his regular attack was 2605)

(he has a gamma channeler if he has a combat analyzer... according to my math, he doesn't have an exotic dynamo, so he completed less than 58 missions)

then 1.05 * 1.10 * 1.15 = 1.32825 multiplier from the buffs, giving him a regular attack of 3460 as he said, and an invade attack of 3978

(boy those exo-temporal translators really make a difference)

Explain this one, The planet only had basic resource buildings. No atk No def No cloak. I attack with 1.5k atk, and I fail with only 90% success rate.???????

This has been explained; the maximum chance is 90%, so if your chance would be over 90% or (possibly) if the planet has no protection, your chance is just set to 90% automatically.

im bad at math but to clarify the invasion defense then is the attack ad defense of the planet combined

agreed, Blakespon... looks that way from my math.... (unless invasion bonus doesn't get buffed.... just thought of that possibility... going check my spreadsheet to test that possibility....)


edit: h0ry cl4p!!!

if you do the calculations without buffing invasion bonus but with buffing regular attack....
total invasion attack = 3850... against a planet with 2037 atk and 0 def.... comes out right at 63%....

so here's the newest equation:

(remember to multiply together any buffs or debuffs)

player's invasion attack = ("unbuffed regular attack" * "buff modifier") + "invasion-only bonuses"

planet invasion defense = ( attack + defense + "invasion-only bonuses")

invasion chance = invade atk / (3 * invade def)


next up.... test to see if planetary attack +% bonuses affect the equation

3* planet def?
wow it is, seems as though planet attack is as effective as shields..my bad

yep, comes out weighted equally...

it'll be interesting to see if invasion defense bonuses ignore buffs like invasion attack bonuses do

You guys keep up the good work. This stuff is very useful and interesting.

Reverus: invade chance = player attack / (total planet att+def+invdef) / 3

I think that's it. final.

good to know.

finetuning the formula even further....

verified: pure invasion defense from a module gets legion bonus as well... (so 500 invasion defense becomes 1100)
verified: attack debuff affects invasion chance (the debuffed attack is what is used in the calculation)

Interesting.

This thread was necroed for that?!

lol yah... but hey, hopefully more people bookmark it while it's up on the first page again...
