Marinus’ Galaxy Empire Output Formulas and Calculator (v2.0) 2013 01 13
Fort Marinus has discovered the secret Galaxy Empire Output formulas for the Metal Mine, Crystal Mine, Gas Mine, Solar Plant, Solar Satellites, and the Fusion Reactor. With these formulas and associated tables, one can know the units of Gas, Metal, Crystal, and Energy produced per hour.

Marinus’ Galaxy Empire Resource Calculator (v2.0) 2013 01 05
This tool allows you to calculate the amount of time it will take to gather a certain amount of resources. It will also show how many resources you will have gathered after a certain amount of time.

Marinus’ Galaxy Empire Battle Calculator (BETA v0.1) 2012 10 26
This tool allows you to simulate the combat of Galaxy Empires. Input the number of each type of ship for each combatant and see who wins. Note: This calculator is in beta form, the formulas are not exactly correct, but they are close.

Marinus’ Galaxy Empire Upgrade Cost Charts (v1.0) 2013 01 01
This Excel spreadsheet shows the costs for buildings and upgrades up to Level 30. It also explains the cost formula below in more detail.

Use this formula and schedule to calculate the cost of any building/technology upgrade.

Fuel Conversion Rate (v4.0) 2013 01 01
Whenever attacking an NPC planet, fuel (gas) is spent and loot is gained. The ‘Units of Loot gained per Unit of Fuel (gas) spent*’ is called the Fuel ‘Conversion’ Rate. Apparently, sending 20 ships or less results in a gain of 1.5 Metal plus 1.5 Crystal for every 1 unit of Fuel (Gas) spent. After 20 ships, the amount of loot gained decreases exponentially (?) along a ‘minimum loot curve’, however there seems to be a ‘chance’ to gain the maximum loot. *also the number of Ships sent

Takeaways:
– It is most efficient to send as few ships as possible.
– Sending more than 300-400 ships results in a net Loss of resources.

Still unknowns:
– What is the formula for the minimum loot curve?
– What is the ‘chance’ formula to gain minimum or maximum loot, or somewhere in-between?

Notes:
These data were collected by attacking the Level 2 or Level 3 ‘The Purged’ planet with varying numbers of Light Fighters. No ships were lost in the attacks. Initial observations of repeating this experiment with Destroyers attacking the Level 11 ‘Pollution Origins’ planet show that sending 50 or less ships is highly likely to yield a maximum loot gain of 1.21 units of Metal plus 1.21 units of Crystal for every unit of Fuel (gas) spent. Sending more than ~250 ships results in a net Loss of resources.

Hi FortMarinus!
Nice work – haven’t tried yet, but it seems like your calculator misses the defense-part. Like missiles, small lasers, plasma dome etc. Could you include those factors too in the next version?

Keep up the good work, and may the Battleships and Nebulas be with you !

I WAS THINKING THAT WHEN YOU LOOSE SHIPS FIRST YOU LOOSE LF THEN HF AND SO ON AND YOUR CALCULATOR DOING IT DIFRENTLY sory for my english.

Hi Fort, any chance in releasing your forumal for the ombat sim, so others might be able to expand on the fine start you have done??

Hi NM, there really isn’t a single formula; its more like an algorithm over six rounds of combat. And, unfortunately, my algorithm is different from the game. However, everything is in the Excel file and you’re free to tinker with it; just unhide the hidden sheets. Let me know if you have specific questions and please share anything you discover. I’ve seen a lot of demand for an updated Battle Calculator; I’ll have to devote some time to it. Thanks for your interest! -Fort Marinus

Do you have anything on the neutral planets I was wondering if it would be cost effective to attack with a large fleet

I think the fusion reactor formula is wrong. I tried to compute it (with E=14, L=15) but the result didn’t match to the values of the game.

Can you add an interceptor to your awesome Battle Calculator?

Hi,

I’m looking at your battle calculator formulas, and are you sure they’re accurate? I was under the impression (same as the commenter above in caps lock) that all enemy fire would first go to your light fighters, than heavy fighters, then cruisers, etc. all the way up the line.

love the battle calc, can u please add interceptors and defence. also a debris calc built into it would be awesome

Hello, Fort
I wish i could know if you have na updated version of you battle simulator spreadsheet.
If so, i am really interested in having it. Could you please forward to my email albert.sampaio@hotmail.com? Thanks a lot.

Sweet but dated. Needs to include ground defenses, interceptors and iron behemouths. I hope an update will come out. That would be awesome
