George,
after your post about the chart of attack and defense valueson Facebook, I found myself calculating global attack and defence values of planets and fleets and discussing it on IRC !

Well done George ! I felt like old times while playing "Stars!" and it was wonderful !

Sounds like the old Stars! fanbase could be really interested in Anacreon 3 :D

Nice!

I never played Stars! myself, but it definitely sounds like my kind of game. I'll share many more stats and numbers as I get more time.

Maybe some of them could be on the forum, instead of somewhere where I never would have known about them if they hadn't been mentioned on IRC? I want to see this chart so I can use it :D

[NOTE: The attack value of a unit combines different factors including range, radius of damage, missile vs. laser, etc. Theoretically, the values are linearly combinable. I.e., 10 Vanguard-class explorers are equal to 10 x 1.0 attack value. But if you discover this is not true empirically, then it's a bug.]
