Planets & Fleets - Discussion

[Sarevok]

I've not tested, so lets assume this is true. Does not the cost to replace 50k defences at 70m/defence, exceed that of the repair costs to repair 200k fleets? (Assuming the defence has 500k). Or does repairing 200k fleets cost 3.5T each time.

No way you are killing 50k with 200k fleets. I imagine those first hits will cost quite a bit for both the masser and the planet holder, however the longer it goes the less the masser losses. Yes, planet defenses take more losses than fleets overall, but defenses also protect a stat boost from planets, while fleets are only made for taking out defenses.

Well, I think it was 270kish were taking out about 70k on one of my planets. But even if it was just 50k defences, the fleet repairs would need to be 3T+ to be more expensive

planet defences are destroyed at 10% of fleet power.

This is a constant value. Always have 270k fleets, always destroy similar amounts of planet defences. It does not become less, where as

planet defences now damage the incoming fleet by 10% of their total defence power

Fleets will slowly take less and less damage, the more defences destroyed, whilst the same number of defences are destroyed.
And lastly

while fleets are only made for taking out defenses

Does not exclude them from providing stat boosts. Yes, yes, we all know there an expensive thing it maintain we get it. Fact is, the DO provide a stat boost.
