Removed the "(but unlikely)" phrase from how an artemis can destroy an atlas. There is, in fact, only a 12% chance the Atlas will survive. Here's the math - in order to survive all three rounds that it could be destroyed in, it must survive each round individually, one after another, of which the chances are 60% (0.6), 50% (0.5), and 40% (0.4), respectively. Thus, as these events are (in theory) independent, to find the chance of surviving all three, we multiply these together, 0.6 x 0.5 x 0.4 = 0.12. Thus, there is only a 12% chance of that atlas surviving, and 88% chance that it will not. Now, the definition of 'unlikely' may be debated by different people in the statistics field, but the HIGHEST number I've ever seen in a textbook as being defined 'unlikely' was 5%. | Removed the "(but unlikely)" phrase from how an artemis can destroy an atlas.

Why doesn't this page contain information about the Bouncing Effect, where if the attack is <1% of the defender's shields it does nothing?
- If you know about it, then why don't you add it? That's why this is a wiki... --Rob 13:53, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

defenses same as ships?
I know for the firing and getting hit, defenses act the same as ships, but do they also have a chance to blow up when below 70% hull?
