Fleets of conquered planets

[Zootcat]

What happens to fleets of conquered planets? Does ownership transfer
to the conquerer or are they still controlled by the original player?

Controlled by the original player.

Oh, and  planetary assault -- I reviewed the code...

Assault only occurs if the planet is not defended (damaged and destroyed fleets don't count).

You get a 1 in 5 chance every turn you do assault of taking the planet.

Surplus on the planet is reduced every turn, dependent on how powerful the attacking fleet is.  I need to send a message to the defender about what he's lost.

I'm also considering adding destruction of upgrades too, but haven't done that yet.

What do you mean by surplus?
If you attack with multiple fleets does that give you more than a 1 in
5 chance?

Yeah, each fleet gets a 1 in 5 chance, once there's no defense.  It's pretty easy to put up enough defense to keep assault from happening, at least that's what I've noticed.

I'm thinking of adding an adjustment for planet population verses attack strength of the  fleet, so you can't take a 100 society planet with 16 million people with a frigate.  :)

What happens when a player logs in after they've been eliminated? Do
they reappear somewhere else with a new homeworld?

What happens when the there is 1 ship defending a planet and more than
one attacking? I mean, can one attacking fleet take out the defending
ship and then the second attacking ship assault the planet? Or would
the assault not occur until the next day?

I don't know how fleet to fleet combat works. Say, I've got two
fleets, 50 cruisers each. My opponent has one fleet with 100 cruisers.
What is the most likely outcome?

All combats are done individually, Running a combat with 50 vs. 100 cruisers gives

an average outcome of: 

    f1:  cruisers: 17.66

    f2:  cruisers: 92.4 

So the larger fleet has an advantage.  This would be more so with cruisers than other ship types, they are

not as well defended given their attack strength as other ships.

The same test with destroyers yields:

    f1:  destroyers: 25.24

    f2:  destroyers: 92.92

Naturally splitting your fleets up into many smaller fleets has it's own set of advantages, but purely

for the reasons of combat, firstest with the mostest prevails.

I think the important part of that question was two fleets of 50 vs
100, not one.

Combats are individual and consecutive, so the 2nd combat would be 92 vs. 50.

Is there such thing as shooting first?

Am I understanding this correctly?: There are 4 enemy fleets at one of
my planets (1 destroyer, 100 cruisers, 13 cruisers, 1 cruiser). As
long as I continue to make just 1 scout a day, the enemy will never be
able to take my planet. Is that correct?
