Combat Simulator

• The best way to learn the pros & cons of the ship types is to experiment with the combat simulator.
• Use the hot key * (asterisk) to access the combat simulator.

  Disable Random Targeting

  • In actual combat ship groups are targeted based on their target rating plus a random value.
  • In the combat sim you can disable the random value to better judge the difference between designs.
  • In normal combat the random value is between -.2 & +.2
  • In recon combat the random value is between -.3 & +.3

  Command & Control Effect

  • Having all ships of the same design in a single group is advantageous.
  • To test this effect, clone the standard crusier, without any changes.
  • In the sim fight 20 standard vs 10 standard and 10 clones.
