does an energy shield in a mothership helps u in a way??
coz my friend said that he was attacked and he has like 10 energy shields.. then it didnt add to his defense...

u have to have a lot of energy shields before it really helps out in battle, like mine, with 400 some shields helps a great deal. Its only when the mothership is small and new that u tend to not notice a diff

Shields don't add to your overall defense, they just protect the mothership.
mothership weapons add to both deffense and offense. (I believe that is the case )
Buy M/S weapons to actualy boost your defense, and shields to protect those weapons.

so the weapon does the damage and defense and the shield protects those weapons... am i right??

the sheilds are like slots for your weapons to go you need 10 sheilds to have 10 weapons you cant have more weapons than sheilds

sheilds on there own are usless with out a weapon make sure your friend has bought the weapons for it also

''MotherShips

A 'live beta' version of motherships has been released. The way they work is: A mothship must be purchased. Then, it must have shield and weapon capacity added. Then, it can be outfitted with weapons and shields.
A mothship can only be damaged by another mothership. A mothership attack must get by the defending mothership shields (destroying some shields in the process). If it has any attack left, it will then target the enemy mothership weapons (destroying some of them too - weapons are easier to destroy than shields...).
If it still has attack left, it will then assist the ground troops, up to a maximum of the total ground troop attack power (or defence power if defending).
So - in effect - a mothship can double the attack or defence power of the troops on its side.
Motherships do not add to 'raw' attack or defence power or rank, but have a rank of their own, which is determined by attack plus defence power combined.''

but wat if ur the one defending.. ur enemy mothership's weapon didnt pass through ur.. now its ur turn to attack his mothership... and ur mothership's weapons pass through the enemy's mothership, and some attack are still available, would ur mothership also attack the ground troops as well??

As far as i know they don't

I believe we keep returning to this topic and i would like to ask that you (please) take a little more time to read the battle report. What you have to take notice of is which mothership stat is being used in the battle.

This should help, admittedly the way the battle log for the mothership part is a little confusing but it's not ranked very high on the "list of things that really really need doing". Just have another read of it and it should become apparent. It confused me at first.
