Does a really really big fleet have a higher chance of detonating a minefield than a really small one?
My situation is a i have a big enemy fleet 1 turn away from a major world of mine. The thing is he has to travel warp 8 to get there in one turn and he has to fly through 35ly of my minefields.
If im doing the calculations right: 4 warps over = 1.2% chance to hit * 35ly = 42% chance to hit the field. This is lower than I'd like and he still have a 58% chance to make it just fine. Im worried he'll gamble and try for it. But if he fails and hits the field he will lose all his support ships in the fleet (mini bombers, fuel tankers, transports, etc) and will still have his combat ships but with no way to hurt the planet at all.
I need some advise from someone thats been in a lot of games. This guy seems like an experienced player. You think he'll gamble and try it? Or you think most people would see a 42% chance to get all thier support ships wiped as a no go?
