Newbie question from.........me

Are fleets worth the same as def/attack weps for mothership strength?

not sure if I got all the math right but it looks like a regular weapon adds 1,950,400 atk, while a fleet only adds 57,600.

not sure about all the math but you should be able to figure it out by:

[Total Atk - (fleet strength * number of fleets)] / number of regular weapons

That should work right. if someone else could do the math and see if they come up with the same thing(yes I am ascended)

Fleets add very little to the overall stats. Don't forget that you also have to repair fleets everytime you attack somebody like you do normal attack weapons. It adds up pretty fast, so I'd say don't bother unless you need to mass / take a planet.

yeah seems to me like fleets don't contribute a lot to your score. for me def adds much more. maybe cause i'm asgard. not sure if the race bonus applies to ms too.

A thing to note: Ascended fleets are far stronger.

My next fleet capacity upgrade is 170 million. :lol:

As far as I can tell, the fleets don't add anything to your mothership score and/or rank. I can have lots of fleets and even after the rank calculation on the turn, it never changes.

each fleet adds 10x its strength to fleet strength i believe.
ie, if the strength of the fleet is 57600 it will add 576,000 per fleet i believe.
i believe it also adds with the normal ms strength, thus helping with MS rank.

attack and def weapons bring i think 1,99 mil and 2,99 mil a piece, respectively

they do add, and it was not many. ms calcs of this sort are very messy, and it is usually easier just to excel it, and use graphs. i think you would be somewhere around 100. ie it is seriously nothing required at all
