I defy ANYONE to enter a sector flying a ship that carries 300k figs and 12,000 shields, has 1.8 offensive odds and 1.8 defensive odds, with 58 million offensive fighters in the sector, with seven planets containing 6 million plus ore, set at 2 or 3 percent sector and not get podded at least once. I attempted to do it 38 times, and never survived once!
Strictly using math:
person enters sector with that ship (1.8:1 odds) with 300k figs and 12k shields. (312k * 1.8 = 561k)
390k (1.25 * 312k) offensive figs attack at 1:1 odds
561k - 390k = 171k
Since you dont specify the level of the citadels, i cannot assume they are L6s.
So your 7 planets would have to do a total of 171k damage to pod the ship.
Lets calculate what each percentage of the q-cannon does.
6M ore * .01 = 60000
60000 / 3 = 20k sector damage.
So if each planet was set to 2% as you claim, they should be podded. However, if the total of all 7 planets did not exceed 8%, they could have survived the off figs and the cannons, retreated, restocked figs/shields (if you had 58M figs, there is no reason they could not have an equal or more) and repeated until all your figs were gone, and then slowly drained the cannons. But if they did that, you should have tons of pages of mail the next day, assuming you didnt skip it.
That is just some logic put into the situation. It is not very hard to accidently turn cannons off.
As someone once said: if you dont trust the sysop, dont play there. It is that simple. There are plenty of good twgs servers out there.
Hmmm, I love your fancy formulas. I'm just a simple Aircraft Mechanic however, and I usually just do things in my head. Actually, I made a full capture of all the planets before I placed them. They were set at 3 percent sector. Yet, according to your argument, they could have survived at 2 percent. Let's see, a planet with 6 million ore set at 2 percent sector shoots EXACTLY 120,000 ore into the sector, (since 2 percent of 6 million is 120,000 for those who don't have a formula to figure it out). Sector quasars only do 1/3 the damage as the amount of ore they shoot. So that means a planet with 6 million ore shooting 2 percent sector is going to do roughly around 40,000 damage! Seven of these planets will do 280,000 damage!
Now, when you consider the quasars will hit that ship first, and it only has 300k figs and 12,000 shields, you can count on very little being left of the figs when the quasars are done. Then, if 58 million offensive fighters can't finish the job, there's something wrong. Like I said, you say they can survive? Go try it on the Swath Test server, because you are seriously in error with all your fancy math formulas! I tried it.... 38 times. Didn't survive. In fact, I went in again and again, and died and after 9 poddings, I FINALLY survived long enough for the sector fighters to attack me.
You simply do NOT know what you are talking about.
Now on to what happened. They were all set for 3 percent sector! This means, except for the first planet which only had 4.5 million ore, the planets would be shooting around 180,000 ore, doing about 60,000 damage. Want proof?
Oh, by the way, the quasars were on, the planets were set as a BLOCKADE in front of their gate!
Here are captures of what these planets will do.
I set up a test at Swath, and created identical planets, identical ships, and identical user names, which I used to assault the planets, here's the first three sector entries. As you can see, they didn't even survive the quasars.
Here's what the planets looked like, sorry the captures don't fit in this forum screen.
