The Combat System

from GalCiv2 Forums
Well, i got to say that the performance went down alot in the combat viewer.

Also there seem to be some major bugs. I mean, how can a fleet of 3 frigates with ca. 7 railguns each do the full 20 damage most of the thime when all my ships got 2 superior durantium systems with a combined power of 8?! it looks like defences do not work anymore or only block one weapon each, while rolling 0 most of the time...

Can anyone confirm that defences do not work or if they only work in some situations?

Drengins got it and it has nothing to do with that. I got a savegame where defences do not work. Massdriver Weapons vs Armor.

Defence against beam weapons works...

There was a change in the combat system making every ship fire their weapons in turn. When it's target is destroyed and it has unfired weapons remaining it will move on to the next target.

If by Drengin you mean Arcean, then you are correct.

My experience with the beta has been the combat system is a lot better. I had one ship that has 27 missile defense and it blocks mostly everything. Except whenever I attacked a Torian fighter with 3 mass driver attack I always took 3 damage. That is the only problem I've had with defenses.

i guess there is some problem with massdrivers, or at least with 1 damage weapons.
