Posts: 842 | this is why 50% is the best to use. all you need to do is half the number on the planet to work out how many you're sending. it's quick and easy. |

Location: Get off my lawn! | How can 50% be "the best?" It's certainly not "the best" for an opening shot. In fact, 50% is the most destructive opening move as planets which exchange at this strength instantly cancel each other out.
The fewer planets, the lower the percentage must be.
If there are no captures and only four planets in play, you have to use 25% for most of the game. With a lot of planets in play, you can get away with 50-75%. |

Posts: 654 | Just to say that you are wrong, if you swipe 50% 3 times thats
100
50
25
12.5
by the time you get to 12.5 you would have gained a ship or 2 so its more like
100
50
26
13
and if you are saying that it goes
100
50
15
12.5
6.25
you might as well just have used 75% twice |

Sometimes this is the goal, especially if you have the production advantage, or, a favorite term, "TEH CLUSTER". |
