Does starbase assist change based on its own attack value (thus the assist value would be a modifyer?)?
What is Starship Quality? There are lots of events, and some wonders (steller forge, for instance), that increace SQ but it doesnt seem to do any thing.
Oh, and 1st post!
Starbase Assist (technically ship assist) is an absolute value, not relative. A starbase with 50 attack will give the same bonuses as a starbase with 0 attack, provided the assist modules are installed.
Starship Quality increases the Attack stat by the stated percentage for ships with attack. Interestingly, if you build a ship at a planet with a Starship Quality bonus and later upgrade it to one with weapons, it also gets the bonus.
I remember ships built prior to the Stellar Forge also retroactively getting the bonus if they were built on the same planet, but I could be mistaken.
I don't remember how it interacts with weapons bonuses; whether it stacks or whether it multiplies.
Thanks, it was realy confusing.
What still confuses me is:
I have seen (TA) what 'apears' to be more assist than i put on a starbase and it was laser when i only had mass drivers, and i checked for SB overlap... Note, i was the arceans if that makes a difference.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Could you provide a screenshot?
Starbase AoEs (area of effect/area of influence) do overlap, so you can have multiple SBs giving a bonus to the same ship. And the assist bonuses add to a set type-some add to lasers, some to mass drivers, some to missiles-regardless of what you have. If you have 1 mass driver on the ship and the SB gives +3 attack assist to lasers, you'll have 1 mass driver and 3 lasers on the ship in the area of influence.
I understand how SB assists overlap, etc. and there was only one SB in range, even if there was 2 i only had tech for +1 laser assist, and i had 3 laser attack, and i only equiped skatter-guns to my tiny war ship fleet. Which is why i wondered if the SB assist was a modifyer not a striaght number.
I think i got it now, ill just have to be greatfull for the extra laser att./assume the fleet had a ship i bought. LOL
Is there any way of telling a ship's planet of construction? This can be particularly important for freighters.
There's a little icon on the ship's star bar that looks like one of the fleet icons. Clicking on it allows you to send the ship to a rally point or "home", which would be where it was built, or where its designated home is if you bought it.
