Attack
Attack is one of the ten basic ship statistics that will define your capabilities in the game. Players start with 5 attack, provided by the 5 Tactical Officers It is countered by Defense.
Benefits
Attack comes into play when attacking an enemy ship or planet. The higher your attack, the more damage you will do per attack. This damage can be reduced by the enemy's Defense.
Improvements
Attack can be improved by installing weapons on your ship, and by purchasing additional Tactical Officers with Rank Points. Each point spent earns you two Tactical Officers (and thus 2 points in Attack).
