When you hit a shielded planet with a photon does it destroy any of the shields. Lets say that you hit a planet with 1000 shields, and I think that a photon goes through a planet with 250 shields, does it knock down the shields to 750?

Ok I set it up yesterday and tested it. I got the shields down to 200 and could not photon and land. So, how low do the shields need to be for a photon to pass through. And Shorty I have never played you, but I always keep my shields around 5000, so I believe that is high enough to block a photon. I must also say I respect you, you have given alot of good advise around the board.

Demon,
Shields have to be LESS than 200. 199 will work just fine. Just now tested to be sure. See my site's glossary page at
http://www.tw-cabal.com/glossary.html
under the Photon heading for details on how photons work.

Also, take a look at my tips page at
http://www.tw-cabal.com/tips.html
tips #6 and #38.

Traitor is correct Demon and as for the complement, I am just trying to help better some players out there, seems like all the good players only play league games any more. Those of us who like to play but dont have the time to dedicate to league play would still like some competition too.
