Ahoy......

May i ask if anyone knows or could tell me this : If a player attacks a fleet with 18 danger via skirmish
( Not released yet ) : It would be a waste of a skirmish point but , would the 18 danger from the fleet get removed? Or would it actually allow 2 hits on the fleet?

Skirmish attacks will not remove any danger.

Correct.
They will add 48hours skirmish protection instead.
Attacking fleet will get normal danger penalties.

So... Say if i placed 2 Hostile Natives on someone... and a hour before that : I spotted 3 of that persons fleets arriving in a port and i had 3 skirmish points , i could attack the fleet : Then eventually i could hit it again?...

As 2 + 1 For arriving at port = 3 Danger...

yes : Skirmish rules allows one hit on a fleet outside the normal danger requirements : You cannot use Skirmish again on that fleet for a *24hr cool-down period. It will not affect any danger the fleet may already be carrying : If you then light the fleet up with Fugi/HN's, it is business as usual and you can hit while it stays lit.


*24hrs is as I understood it, but CJ says 48hrs : and he should know, so 48hrs it is :)
