11% fleet strength takes out planet def

minimum fleet strength of 15% of the planet defences is now needed to engage. Below that it is pure suicide, with no chance to succeed, and you cannot convince your pilots otherwise...
Sorry, this quote is from game update section,
the attacker that took my planet has at most in first few attacks 12%
and didnt buy 90k more fleets 5 times in 1 min,,,

Yup, the second attack damaged with only 11.6%.
But isn't it that it's a range between 10 and 15%? Before their willing to even engage? But that doesn't mean they shouldn't get DD when they ARE below 15%...

Was it actual planet defense or was it platform defenses?
Planet defenses are at 15%.
Platform defense are at 10%
Planet + Platform is at 10%, but you still need at least 15% of the planet defense.
We ran tests in beta to test this and there was a random variable that allowed 9.6% attack on a platform + planet defense slip through.
I mentioned this in a thread in the Newbie/FAQ section...

MaxSterling has a valid point, was the planet added to by a platform?

yes there was a plateform there,,,
I didnt see anywhere that the def min changed with a plateform,,,
thanks for the update

good to know that they only need 10% now with plateforms,,, maybe time for an update on the update section?

I don't think the minimum changes. You just only need 10% of the platform to damage it (i assume), but 15% of the planet defenses to damage them

I figured it was 15% of planets def, platform comes later, that is why its sweet when you have a 300bill def planet, and a 3trill platform on it, attacker has no chance.
