1.  I know how nukes work
2.  I know how probability works
3.  I had nukes successfully cast on my main buildings just last round

Maybe Bud is magic?

Warchild, stop bumping old threads

I lost 40% of my main buildings last round to nukes... so I know it's not impossible to hit a player's main built buildings.  I also know that the # of buildings a player has doesn't in any way contribute to the nuke formula

If it had done something wacky, like only hit research centers 29 times, it would be worth looking at.  Assuming of course that you sorted that list alphabetically Bud...if that's the order that the nukes took place then it might be worth looking into. 

Otherwise it's like being mad at a coin for landing on heads 5x in a row.

Each nuke had an 11% chance to hit cfs

There's no set # of agents you need to successfully cast an op, and there never has been.  Random fails, regardless of whether or not they make any sense, have always been a thing. 

Now, nukes in themselves are less than reliable... specifically if your goal is to hit a single building (you mentioned cash factories) as they randomly target any of the possible 9 buildings giving you a roughly 11% chance of hitting the one you want.  Let's be super generous, and say you had enough agents to land 90% of the nukes you cast,  that gives each nuke a 9.9% chance of hitting cash factories. 

There's no bug here, although it could be argued that nukes need to be reworked.  The only thing about this thread that sums up the current state of the game is the attitude some of our veteran players have

What's the bug?

Actually, this just means that any aggressive families would need to start being aggressive earlier, and preventing possible targets from filling systems. 

Always glad to see the positive attitudes in here

Good News Everyone!

Last round we attempted to set up a core system to relieve large families from being bombarded by their smaller counterparts. Early in  the round, we realized there was an issue and it was not implemented.  The problem appears to have been fixed, so here it is:

In addition, a new feature has been added and will be tested this round.  When a family controls a system for 72 ticks, that system will be flagged as a core system.  When a non-family member attacks a core system, the attack will cost twice as much morale.
A system will lose its core status when the family with the core controls no planets in that system.

It'll be LG's Christmas present!

Yea... I'm just waiting for the round to end at this point.  Been bugging Colo for 2 weeks to let me up my op defense....he finally sends me rez to do it, after I lose half my cfs and to's to nukes

The 27 million from 23 was after Colorado had talked to your leader and we were allegedly ending the fighting

Kudos to you though getting us to pool our iron then opping
