Unread post Port Destruction
After destroying a couple of universes, I am wondering if the data I've got is accurate, and what others have experienced. The numbers below do not reflect blowing up Terra, Dock, or the other class 0 ports. Some of the ports are max upgrades of 65530.

My ship offensive odds are 3:1, and hitting with a 50k attack wave.

For each defensive rating point of a port it seems to take 6.74 fighters on average to destroy the port based on over 12,000 ports for this run. This results in the average fighter loss is approximately 500 - 505 with a high in the 900 range and a low of 170. The high is an approximation due to me not remembering the exact number. My current run is showing 897 for a high.

I will have to look at what Traitor put together. His research and information has always been very accurate.

My high fig loss is off. I just blew up a BBB port that was fully maxed, 2478 defensive rating and it required 16,610 fighters. The 6.74 average/def point calcuates to 16,701 so it is fairly close - at least for 3:1 offensive odds and this game.
