How do you attack platforms?
ie i built 9k fleets and attacked about 10 to 15 times and still the platform was there.
Is there another way to beat them?
abit like massing a whole defence but hardly touching the troop defence

No you keep massing it like you would regular planet defenses. Only fleets count nothing else

platforms work the same as normal planet defense, except needing 15% to hit planet defs you only need 10% to hit platforms.

I know it's a quote from a movie, but why even post it?Tropic Thunder wrote:platforms work the same as normal planet defense, except needing 15% to hit planet defs you only need 10% to hit platforms.
This is correct, but mind you... this is practically the bare minimum. If you send 10% against a platform, it may or may not survive.
A planet with planet defenses and platform defenses will require you to send at least 10-15% of the planet defenses... just like a planet with only planet defenses, but your fleets will only survive if it is over 10% of the total of your planet + platform defenses power.
I guess it's only fitting that a newbie re-ask a question that's already been answered, but all of this has been covered numerous times before, but the most thorough thread I know of is here...

If a person doesn't know the answer ( despite the fact that the question has been answered correctly numerous times ), they shouldn't reply with a horrible, uninformed "guess".
