ok, i've been playing in this game, no one really plays, im just fooling around, so i have 200k figs in my edited IC, i'm mothing a sector with 4 planets, the cannons hit me for 6175, 36977, 1520, then 1447. the second time i fly in the cannons hit me for 4631, 25884, 988, then 651. this tells me the sector cannon is set at 25%, 30%, 35%, and 55% respectively. now, at this point, the second planet is down to 181190 fuel. i mothed it until it was hitting me for around 8k, so i retreat the sector to moth again, the next time i fly in, BLAM! the first cannon hits me for around 9k, then the second one for around 47k, and i'm dead. these planets are owned by rouge merceneries, and there was no one else in the game. so, i go get another IC, with 200k figs, warp in again, this time the cannons hit me for 6250, 32925, 112, and 783. i proceed to land on the second planet. the atmos cannon hits me for 115292. how is it possible, that this planet, with that low of fuel, could magically grow that much fuel, and/or raise it cannon setting, and how did the first cannon hit me for more after i mothed it 6 or 7 times than the first time?? the only thing i can think of was the sysop was watching, seen me invading, and was trying to have some fun with me, and tedited it or something. doesnt make sense to me. thanks.

the settings for sector hit and atmoshere hits are different. the cannon will hit with much more dammage when you try to land.

Personally I'd have tried planet 4 first and then worked my way back up the list!

I'm not sure if it was resolved, but in several versions there have been bugs that cause rogue planets to regen ore like this.

I know that sector and atmosphere hits can be different. My post said 'the next time i fly in BLAM! the first cannon hits me for around 9k, then the second one for around 47k, and i'm dead.' nothing about the atmos cannon. that was later. my question was about how that planet could regenerate ore SO quickly, but i guess kemper answered my question. good to know it's a known issue tho, and not a shady sysop. thanks alot.

hahahaha , like most players .. you dont think it can land cause you try on your planets .. but as an invader .. it will get you to the fighters so you can kill them.
Which means you can take cannon blasts to moth , kill shields .. and fighters .. but you can not claim the planet [:(]

that is why you tow another ship that can .. in with you.
