[Implemented] Skirmish Revision

[Charles Vane]

For number 3..

3)Fleet Number Specific Skirmish Protection
1 Skirmish defend per 10 sailing fleets owned.

Example: Someone with 80 fleets, will be prone to receive 80/10 = 8 daily skirmishes

The Majority of players sail 200 ships or less, even at 150 ships a player can only sustain 3 skirmishes per day. This will reduce the overall skirmishes available will it not? Coupled with the increase in evasion every skirmish even the few players sailing 500 ships that could take 10 skirmishes in a day will have an evasion chance of 25% after 5, 35% after 7, 45% after 9.

5 would be the max I would go, for the risk of danger to profit ratio.

I would propose that 5 skirmishes remain the standard defend rate for all players, and only once a player has more than 50 fleets does their increase of skirmishes kick in.



Examples:

5 Fleets = 5 Skirmish Defends
50 Fleets = 5 Skirmish Defends
51 Fleets = 6 Skirmish Defends
60 Fleets = 6 Skirmish Defends
70 Fleets = 7 Skirmish Defends
71 Fleets = 8 Skirmish Defends

Can you explain how you came up with a player with 150 ships can only sustain 3 skirmishes a day?

with that math 30 fleet means 150 ships which equal to 3 skirmish at max.

Ok, I see what he meant now, the way it was written threw me off. That being the case, I agree with Vane. Anyone with less than 50 fleets should automatically have 5 skirmishes. 51-60 would be 6, 61-70 would be 7, etc.

[Captain Jack]

Point 2 (Reduce turns needed to 2) and Point 6 ( 1 Skirmish point per 10 successful plunder attacks) are up for further discussion before making their way into the game.

Feel free to comment here or open new suggestion topics with more details/ideas.


Point 4 (Skirmish Insurance Law Revision) is approved but received a lower priority due to its complexity. So its implementation time will be delayed.

Its not working correctly me thinks. Everyone I try to skirmish comes up with this gem...

This player has already been skirmished enough for now. The more fleets a player has, the more times he can be skirmished daily.
Yargh! Show me other targets!

Does not show that message when you hit my fleets... My fleets never seem to get skirmished...

I'm having this problem too...

[Admiral Nelson]

Try to skirmish one of my fleets in Pania/Goroum to see if it really is a problem.

I have only been skirmished once today.
