raid bot is sending always small transport instead of big
« on: May 29, 2010, 06:10:17 PM »

I´m wondering why the raid bot is always sending small transports instead the faster big transports? Is this a bug, or can I change this anywhere? This happens if I send manually e.g. OA shows me an inactive in green and I don´t want to wait until scanning the whole list is finished, I send with menu from right mouse click - but always small transports?

No, small transports are faster.

at the tech info in Ogame:
small transports speed: 8000
large transports speed: 12000
or is there a misunderstanding :o

...because I was wondering, if I saw on the fleet action-screen, why all my fleets at once need a longer time - say in my common raid-area my large transports need around 1,5 to 2 hours to the target, but my small transports take around 2 to 2,5 hours.
I just checked it again in my account and also with OA in fleet sender :-\

p.s. I think the right word fpr ogame is cargo instead of transport, right?

if(IMPULSEDRIVE >= 5)
   smallCargoSpeed = 10000+2000*IMPULSEDRIVE;
else
   smallCargoSpeed = 5000+500*COMBUSTIONDRIVE;

I don´t understand until now, better I´m a little bit confused...

At now I only have got impulsedrive 4 - so OA should send large cargos, until I get impulsedrive 5, right?

I have written before, I made a test directly in my Ogame account (without using OA) - I took a large cargo and typed in the same planet as with a small cargo, and there have been a big difference, so the small cargo is a lot slower...

What DH already explained is that for most users small cargos are faster than large cargos.
Apparently your impulse drive level is below 5, so just push it above. You will notice that calculation basis for speed of small cargo is bigger than large cargos.

Your point is right that below level 5 of impulse drive it would be better when OA prefers large cargos. But to be honest even in a 1x speed universe impulse drive can be pushed very fast above level 5.
