Domination Q's

Can somebody tell me some stats lke what are in the defense fleets and how many 'cause I swear to take one of the human rengade plantes I killed like 200 ships.

On average around 150, they can go as high as 250 and as low as 50.

How fast do defense fleets regenerate?

In EVO they don't- they always have a set number of ships and new ones come from the planet until the total number is exhausted.

So, If you land and take off again the Defense fleet is back up to its original total?

Absolutely. That'd be a pretty cheap trick, otherwise..

When you said the minimum defense fleet is 50 you were wrong Sumer in the Meria system sends one ship out, and it is either a helian or kraiton top of that.

I must contest that. I think that's an occasional bug. You see, i started a pilot recently, and wanted to make some quick cash. So i worked up a deadly rating, and went to conquer Summer. They sent out a regular defense fleet of kraits and helians.

Wierd, I've done it a few times, like 3 or 4 and I always get that, maybe it's a bug from when it was ported to windows.

I just checked the spob Meria in ResEdit, with the original EVO, not the port. It has DefDude 145 (Kraits and Helians), and a DefCount of 1011. Though figuring out that reguires maths, and I havent figured out what is reguired to calculate it, that shows it is more than one ship. Though when I tried to dominate Meria, it has been only one ship. Probably DefCounts are counted by removing the first and last number, and the count is what is left? That would make sense, it would be 01 which is one ship.

I am eager to try to answer mission questions

you want to know a quick way to conquer a planet and have them always send up only one ship.
you get 6 escorts that have fighter bays you launch any fighters you have.
then target some ship that has a trader as alignment, shoot at it don't kill it yet wait until all escorts fighters have been launched then kill the ship.
'Q' the planet that you want after you tell escorts to hold position.
demand tribute.
they send 1-5 ships up and due to the number of ships in the system alredy there they cant send up any more.
if you had 33 fighters in a fighter bay and blew up every ship in the system then launched all your fighters any planet you demand tribute from will only send up one ship usually a fighter 😄 and you can dispatch it with ease and they will never send up any other ships.
I do it every time I take over a planet but I carry 40 UE fighters

It's a well-known loop-hole, it can be assimilated to a cheat, and lastly it's not a challenge like we want EVs to be.

I know there was a cheat plug-in that changed the settings on all the spöbs so that the number of ships in the defense fleet was at 0. I think it was called Domination or something, personally I think it should be called Domin-0s.
