What exactly are the formulas for determining total damage dealt in combat, and how does this work in invasions? I did a quick search, can't find these anywhere. I stumbled upon a few other formula discussions, such as population, tax, etc., but can't find anything about this.

Tried the first one, all I see is a bunch of conflicting ideas with comments that agree or disagree with random theories. Also, wtf is " a pound of missiles"?

Ditto for the invasion guesswork.

I was just hoping someone might provide some official numbers and formulas.

What do you call the icon which is used for the size of each module? It looks like a "weight". He called it a "pound".

The dev team is highly unlikely to provide the actual formulae. It always comes to players to figure it out. Without multiplayer, our ability to do exact experiments is limited. Trust me, within days of multiplayer being released, somebody will have the exact formulae.

Too bad it's unlikely to get the official formulas. How can you strategize if your information is based on just guesswork?

I have seen this happen on many player forums. Within days of a new release, players spend hundreds of hours to figure out exactly how it works. It may be guesswork, but crowdsourcing the experimental method works.
