THe defense system in this game makes no sense what-so-ever. Someone that has 168 atk can disable me when i have 256 def? How is that even possible. Please explain

i'm not quite sure there's a proper answer to your issue until the problem is a little more defined... please elaborate what you are not understanding


just because you have more defense than their attack doesn't mean they won't be able to kill you....

Okay. Think of it this way.

Attack is your weapon power. All attacks are made at a certain degree of accuracy.
When you attack, you fire multiple rounds at your opponent. (Be a bit dumb to fire one shot from an auto-cannon.)
Thus, your defense is your ship's dodging ability.
Even if your really good at dodging, your going to get hit. Remember that attack is NOT accuracy, just weapon power.
Your hull/shield is how well defended your ship is.

Take the above into consideration as per Thunderbolta's post and this:

The ceiling is (0.5 x # of ship decks), OR (0.5 x (player rank + 19)), whichever is greater.



PVP damage cap formula = your current deck size divided by 2
