wow, I'm still alive. I see those new players are finally starting to discover the "attack" order.

[Ljube]

Hey Skanky! You miscalculated the battle. Please revise.

[GeneralTacticus]

How did he miscalculate?

[Skanky Burns]

Turn has been delayed somewhat. Hopefully I can get it done after work.

EDIT: Please elaborate, LL.

[GeoModder]

80 torpedo's against 54 lasers perhaps? The first round of battle?

[Ljube]

Yes, it was 40 torpedoes against 54 lasers, then third round 48 torpedoes against 40 lasers, both in my favour and final round was supposed to be 20 fighters against 9 fighters in favour of Joncha.

[GeneralTacticus]

Well, let's see...

Rounds 1-2:

20 torpedoes x 2 (vs. lasers) x 2 (LL bunched his ships) = 80. No problem.

27 lasers x 2 (close in) = 54. No problem.

Rounds 3-4:

20 lasers x 2 (close in) = 40 lasers. No problem.

24 torpedoes x 2 (vs. lasers) x 0.5 (spread out) = 24 torpedoes. No problem.

Round 5-6:

20 fighters x 0.5 (bunch up) = 10 fighters. No problem.

9 fighters x 2 (spread out) = 18 fighters. No problem.

So where are the miscalculations?

[Skanky Burns]

As GT pointed out, you forgot to take into account tactics. Update fairly soon now.

[Ljube]

No spread and bunch cancell each other out.

[GeneralTacticus]

If it were torpedoes on fighters, then yes, they would. In other circumstances (as happened here), they don't.

EDIT: You may be thinking of Close In/Back Off, which do negate each other.

[Ljube]

Here are my orders

So, my orders are to defend, stockpile, build a shield generator, LLTTFF, close in, bunch together, die.

[Ljube]

OK, it was my mistake.

[GeoModder]

So this round you probably have built a station and raised your shield...

Luckily I stayed at home.

[GeoModder]

Looks like Emperor Burns has switched to Ljube hours...
