Thanks for the info. It does help out.
So if I understand correctly. If I have L21 beams I have around 500,000 of them and if someone with 500,000 fighters attacks me (or I attack them) my beans would destroy 250,000 of their fighters and I would be left with 250,000 beams. My power would also go down by 250,000.
So is it better to invest in more power, beams, shields or to invest in more fighters? Or should everything remain somewhat equal?
I am not on a mission to start taking over everything, but I did run across a player with 24 million+ fighters which I would be helpless against.
I will check out the deadzone forums.
Thanks again!
