Bug with planet attack

[cyberblade]

After the update to requiring 15% I am having this issue:

When I bought fleets to mass a planet I got the standard cannot attack, suicide, etc note... i spied again, did the math-my fleets were 15.5% of his def. so should be no problem... i ask a couple people online, i start browsing this forum, then I go and try it again (note-I had tried 2 times previously) and this time it works... so-theres a bug in there somewhere.

I don't understand your problem here,

Are you saying when you hit the planet it said you failed???

Remember the strike/defense sways from 98-102% (even though for planets i think its more than this) so even though you where at 15.5% if you got 98% and the planet got 102% your still under the 15% so you would lose on the attack.

the issue was that it said i did not have 15%... When I did. It's possible that the message was given if that 15% is calculated each time with the fluctuating attack/defense values... I presumed that the 15% was based on the absolute values.

No its per attack, so keep that in mind if you have to mass a planet, not to let the power of your fleets drop below, or you will lose them all on the hit, to play safe you prob should push for 20% of the planets def, although the more def its got, the more costly this gets for you.
