Fleet combat in ''Per Regna'' occurs when fleets engage enemy forces, pirates, or planetary defenses. Battles resolve automatically through multiple combat rounds where ships exchange fire based on their combat statistics, targeting rules, and special abilities.


Fleet battles can occur in several contexts:
Fleet combat in Regna happens when fleets engage pirates, other empires, or planetary defenses. Battles resolve automatically over multiple rounds: ships pick targets, fire, shields absorb, hull takes the rest, and destroyed units leave the fight.


* '''Player vs Pirate (PvE)''' — attacking pirate outposts, strongholds, or roaming fleets
This page answers the practical questions commanders ask before and after a strike. For loot math in depth, see [[Resource Protection]] and [[Battle Looting.wikitext|Battle Looting]]. For hangar / stun recovery, see [[Fleet Stun.wikitext|Fleet Stun]]. For hull buyback limits, see [[Tonnage#ship graveyard|Tonnage → Ship Graveyard]].
* '''Player vs Player (PvP)''' — attacking other empires or defending colonies
* '''Defense Battles''' — fleets attacking planetary defenses


Combat results determine ship losses, debris fields, resource plunder, and temporary combat effects such as fleet stun or war fatigue.

= Battle Structure =
A fleet battle is divided into several '''combat rounds'''.
 
During each round:
 
# Ships select targets according to '''target priority'''
# Weapons fire and deal damage
# Shields absorb incoming damage
# Remaining damage reduces hull integrity
# Destroyed ships are removed from the battle


Combat continues until:
* Who can attack whom?
 
* Attack limits & rates
* one side is destroyed
* What can you steal?
* one side retreats
* Debris vs Ship Graveyard
* the maximum number of combat rounds is reached
* Is there stun?
* Noob & attack protection
* Resource protection (summary)
* How a battle runs

= Ship Combat Statistics =
== Who can attack whom? ==
Each ship has a set of core combat attributes.
{| class="wikitable"
!'''Attribute'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|Attack
|Amount of damage dealt per shot
|-
|Defense
|Structural durability of the ship
|-
|Shield
|Energy barrier that absorbs damage each round
|-
|Speed
|Determines travel time, not combat order
|-
|Target Priority
|Determines preferred targets
|-
|Rapid Fire
|Allows multiple attacks in one round
|}
These attributes define the battlefield role of each ship class. 
 
Example:
 
* Fighters provide balanced combat capability.
* Cruisers act as durable frontline ships.
* Bombers specialize in destroying defenses.
* Carriers support fleets with drones.
 
----
 
= Damage and Shield Logic =
Damage resolution follows a simple layered structure.
 
=== Shield Phase ===
Incoming damage first interacts with the target’s shields.
 
If the attack is weaker than the shield capacity, the shield absorbs the hit and resets in the next round.
 
Example:
<code>Damage < Shield → No hull damage</code>
----
 
=== Hull Damage ===
If incoming damage exceeds shield strength, the remaining damage affects the ship’s structure.
 
Example:
<code>Hull Damage = Attack − Shield</code>
When hull integrity reaches zero, the ship is destroyed and contributes to the debris field.
----
 
= Target Priority =
Ships select targets based on '''target priority values'''.
 
Lower priority values indicate frontline combat ships, while higher values represent support vessels.
 
Example priority groups:
{| class="wikitable"
!'''Priority'''
!'''Ship Role'''
|-
|1
|Combat ships
|-
|2
|Support ships
|-
|3
|Logistics / scouts
|}
Because of this system:
 
* cargo ships and probes are rarely targeted first
* combat ships engage other combat ships first
 
This ensures battles develop naturally instead of immediately destroying support units.
----
 
= Rapid Fire =
Some ships have the ability to fire multiple times in a single round.
 
This mechanic is called '''Rapid Fire'''.
 
When a ship destroys a target and has rapid fire against that target type, it may immediately fire again.
 
Example:
 
A Fighter with rapid fire against probes may destroy several probes during the same round.
 
Rapid fire makes certain ships extremely effective against specific unit types.
 
Related page:
 
[[Rapid Fire]]
----
 
= Fleet Stun =
Some battles result in a temporary '''Fleet Stun''' effect.
 
When a fleet suffers heavy damage or overwhelming firepower from the opponent, surviving ships may be temporarily disabled.
 
During a stun period:
 
* fleets cannot move
* fleets cannot initiate attacks
* recovery procedures begin
 
This prevents repeated immediate attacks after major battles.
----
 
= Recovery Cycle =
After combat, damaged fleets enter a '''recovery cycle'''.
 
Recovery time depends on:
 
* damage sustained
* fleet size
* support ships present
 
Support vessels may accelerate fleet recovery by performing field repairs.
 
During recovery:
 
* ships cannot be deployed
* fleets remain docked at the nearest colony or hangar
 
----
 
= Debris Fields =
Destroyed ships generate debris fields in the battle location.
 
Debris fields contain recoverable materials such as:
 
* Steel
* Quartz
* Gas
* Advanced materials depending on ship types
 
Debris can be collected by specialized ships such as '''Recyclers'''.
 
Recovered materials can significantly offset fleet losses.

[[Fleet and Ships]]
----
 
= Hangar Protection =
Fleets stationed inside a '''Fleet Hangar''' receive protection when not deployed.
 
Hangar protection prevents fleets from being directly attacked while safely docked.
 
Protected fleets cannot be targeted unless:
 
* the fleet leaves the hangar
* the colony itself is attacked
 
This system protects idle fleets and reduces offline vulnerability.
 
Related page:
 
[[Fleet Hangar]]
----
 
= Attack Protection =
New colonies or recently attacked players may receive temporary '''attack protection'''.
 
This system protects developing players from immediate repeated attacks.
 
Attack protection may activate when:
 
* a player is recently colonized
* heavy losses occurred
* the player is significantly weaker than the attacker
 
Protection gradually expires as the empire develops.
 
Extended attack protection for high-score farming of much weaker active players.
 
Rules
 
* Applies when attacker score ≥ 10× defender score
* Max 1 attack event / rolling week, 2 / rolling month
* Strikes within a 1-hour window (from event start) count as one event
* Inactive / vacation / immunity paths unchanged; scouting still allowed

Planetary defenses behave differently from ships.
 
Many defense structures can be '''automatically restored after battle'''.
 
Instead of permanent destruction:
 
* some defenses are disabled during combat
* a portion of destroyed defenses may rebuild automatically
 
This mechanic prevents permanent base destruction while still allowing attackers to weaken defenses temporarily.

Successful raids can steal resources from a defender's colony — but not everything. Resource Protection and Warehouse capacity work together to shield part of your stockpile, while a global loot rate limits how much of the exposed portion attackers can actually take. Fleet cargo capacity is the final gate: raiders must bring enough haulers to carry the loot home.
 
This system applies to player-vs-player (PvP) attacks on active colonies. Pirates, inactive colonies, and other special targets follow different rules and it can be looted with %100 loot rate. See details at [[Battle Looting]]

War fatigue gradually decreases over time as fleets remain inactive.
 
This system discourages constant harassment and encourages strategic timing of major wars.

Fleet Combat

Fleet combat in Regna happens when fleets engage pirates, other empires, or planetary defenses. Battles resolve automatically over multiple rounds: ships pick targets, fire, shields absorb, hull takes the rest, and destroyed units leave the fight.

This page answers the practical questions commanders ask before and after a strike. For loot math in depth, see Resource Protection and Battle Looting. For hangar / stun recovery, see Fleet Stun. For hull buyback limits, see Tonnage → Ship Graveyard.

Who can attack whom?

Target / situation Attack? Scout? Notes
Your own colonies No Yes Launch / FCS join both blocked
Ally alliance No* Yes *Solo moon test allowed if fleet tonnage ≤ 1B (ally only, not NAP; no FCS)
Non-aggression pact (NAP) No Yes No moon-test exception
Active rival Yes† Yes †Subject to immunity, score-bully limits, realm PvP rules
Inactive (7+ days offline) Yes Yes Grief protection bypassed; special loot rules
Vacation / banned No No Full block
Immunity shield No No New accounts, raid-triggered, realm migrate, etc.
Pirates / system protectors Yes Yes No player grief protection
Same alliance (no ally treaty needed) Yes Yes Alliance membership alone does not block PvP

Attacker immunity: launching a PvP attack against an active defender is allowed while you still have an immunity shield — completing that attack removes your immunity. Attacking inactive / vacation / banned targets does not strip it.

Realm restrictions: some realms may disallow PvP via combat.noAttackRealms.

Attack limits & rates

Score-bully limits (anti-farm)

When your fleet tonnage (hangar + active fleets) is at least 3× the defender’s (active players only):

Limit Rule
Rolling week 1 distinct attack event
Rolling month 2 distinct attack events
Event grouping Strikes within 1 hour of the event start count as one event
Scouting Always allowed
Retaliation exception Caps do not apply if the weaker player attacked you or a current member of your alliance within the last 7 days

Inactive / vacation / immunity paths are unchanged by this rule.

Repeat-raid war fatigue (loot rate)

Against the same active defender, loot is reduced by how many times you already hit them in the last 6 hours:

Prior attacks in 6h Loot multiplier
0 100%
1 70%
2 50%
3+ 20%

Inactive defenders skip war fatigue (loot uses the inactive rules below instead).

Tonnage-gap war fatigue (loot rate)

Separately, a large fleet tonnage gap (hangar + active fleets) trims loot even on the first hit:

Attacker / defender fleet tonnage Loot multiplier
< 3× 100% (no penalty)
3× 95% (−5%)
6× 90% (−10%)
9× 85% (−15%)
Each additional 3× another −5% (linear)

Tonnage-gap fatigue can continue until loot is wiped (0%). Repeat fatigue × tonnage-gap fatigue stack (multiply together).

Raid immunity trigger

If an active defender takes 3 distinct raid events within 6 hours, they gain a 24-hour immunity shield (attack and scout blocked). One FCS battle counts as one raid for this counter. Inactive players never gain this shield.

Hangar protection (not an attack ban)

Fleets in a protected Fleet Hangar do not enter the fight until exposed. If you are over hangar capacity, only a proportional share of each ship type is protected — the rest fights and can be destroyed (see Fleet Stun). Switching protected ↔ exposed takes 10 minutes each way. You cannot change hangar mode while stunned. Protected ships still matter for stun after a lost or drawn defense. Stationary hull (planetary collectors, etc.) never uses hangar capacity.

What can you steal?

Short version for active PvP:

  1. Warehouse decides how much of each resource can be partially shielded.
  2. Resource Protection (base + research + monuments, capped) shields a share inside capacity; overflow is fully exposed.
  3. Of the exposed amount, attackers take a loot rate (default 50%, plus Titan-Class Mech pvpLootPct up to +30%).
  4. War fatigue (repeat × tonnage-gap) multiplies the haul.
  5. Cargo capacity is the final gate — bring haulers.
Target What you can expect
Active PvP Exposed × loot rate × fatigue, then cargo. Full formulas: Resource Protection · Battle Looting
Inactive colony Flat 80% of stored resources (protection bypassed), cargo still limits
Pirates (PvE) 100% of stored resources, cargo still limits
Probe-only attack No loot
FCS class bonuses Mixed-class synergy raises group loot access; personal class multipliers reallocate shares — see Player Classes → FCS

You never wipe a well-warehoused active economy in one hit; overflow and low protection are what make raids fat.

Debris vs Ship Graveyard

When ships die in PvP:

Outcome What happens
Debris field A share of lost hull becomes recyclable materials at the battle location (Recyclers collect). Default ship debris rate is about 30% of losses (realm / Salvage research can adjust).
Ship Graveyard The rest of lost hull deposits at the colony Shipyard as recoverable ships (feature-flagged). Buy back at 90% build cost within tonnage headroom; unpurchased hull expires in 14 days; after buyback, ships recover over ~2–7 days before they can launch.
Defenses No graveyard. ~50% of destroyed defense value becomes debris; about 70% of destroyed defenses can auto-restore after battle.

Moon losses map to the parent planet’s graveyard UI. Territory Siege phases can override the debris / graveyard split — see Territory Siege.

Pirate fights use pirate debris rules (no player graveyard for pirate hull).

Is there stun?

Yes — mainly for the defender after a lost or drawn colony battle.

Who Stun?
Defender (attacker win or draw) Protected hangar ships and stationed defender fleets can be stunned: cannot move / attack until recovery. Base around 1 hour, can scale with losses up toward 24 hours, reduced by hangar research / monuments. Hull returns in quarters over the stun window (25% → 50% → 75% → 100%). Full guide: Fleet Stun.
Defender wins Protected hangar ships restore without stun.
Attacker (PvP) No hangar stun from the battle itself; losses go to debris / graveyard. Returning attack fleets can enter a PvP retaliation window (~2–24 hours by return tonnage) where surviving hull docks outside hangar protection and is scoutable/attackable — see Fleet Stun.
Expeditions / Nebula Separate stun / risk rules (not colony PvP).

While stunned you also cannot toggle hangar protection.

Noob & attack protection

Protection Rule
New account immunity 7 days from signup (immunityUntil) — cannot be attacked or scouted
Realm migration 48 hours immunity after ascending / migrating realm
Raid-triggered immunity 24 hours after 3 raids in 6 hours (active only)
Vacation Full attack + scout block while active
Score-bully limits High fleet-tonnage farmers capped at 1/week and 2/month vs much weaker actives (3× fleet tonnage) — see above
New colony alone No separate per-colony attack shield beyond player immunity / hangar / warehouse

“Attack protection” on the public wiki is this combined package: early immunity, raid shields, hangar docking, score-gap limits, and resource shielding — not a single toggle.

Resource protection (summary)

Piece Default
Base protected share (in warehouse) 10%
Resource Protection research +1% per level
Hard cap 70%
Warehouse capacity 15,000 × 2^level per resource type
Overflow above capacity 100% exposed
Loot of exposed (active PvP) 50% base (+ Titan bonus, cargo, fatigue)

Full pipeline, formulas, and worked examples: Resource Protection & Looting.

How a battle runs

  1. Ships select targets by target priority (combat hull before logistics).
  2. Weapons fire; Rapid Fire may allow extra shots when a preferred target type dies.
  3. Shields absorb first; excess damages hull.
