-	Orbital facilities (such as phaser cannons, phaser batteries, etc.) can return fire and attack a foreign vessel in orbit. Should it be available, deuterium from Emergency Fusion Chambers (both in the batteries and in fusion reactors) will be used as a substitute, 1:1 for energy, to attack offending ships. Torpedo batteries in particular will use up the strongest available torpedo out of Photon, Plasma, and Quantum torpedos in planetary storage to attack foreign ships. ~~A planet~~ is ~~only capable of attacking with~~ 25 ~~shots per BT~~. ~~Should more weapons~~ be ~~available~~, the planet ~~will not use them~~.	+	Orbital facilities (such as phaser cannons, phaser batteries, etc.) can return fire and attack a foreign vessel in orbit.

Torpedo batteries in particular will use up the strongest available torpedo out of Photon, Plasma, and Quantum torpedos in planetary storage to attack foreign ships. Each planetary battery (or shot from a phase cannon) is considered by the battle system to be 0.25 slots. Since a minimum of 20 slots can always return fire, on a colony where the defence consists solely of batteries all batteries would fire. The only situation where this would not be the case is if ships which have more efficient slot cost per attack, such as the EMP mine, or WMD are also present in orbit of the planet.

In a BT, the offensive weapons of the attacker are exploited before the attacked can respond and finish the BT. The attacker can only finish the BT if all defending ships have been destroyed or disabled.

-	Ships can only fire if all the following conditions are met: Weapons systems (Phaser, disruptors and/or torpedo tubes) are ~~not~~ online, the ship has enough crew to arm and fire the weapons, the main computer is online, and there's enough energy to fire weapons, the ship has the correct resources to fire (e.g. [[torpedoes]].) Also there is a limit to the number of slots belonging to the attacker which can fire, the limit is either 20 slots (provided the attackers fleet has 20 slots) or 1.2 times the defenders slots, whichever is higher.	+	Ships can only fire if all the following conditions are met: Weapons systems (Phaser, disruptors and/or torpedo tubes) are online, the ship has enough crew to arm and fire the weapons, the main computer is online, and there's enough energy to fire weapons, the ship has the correct resources to fire (e.g. [[torpedoes]].)

	Before an attack, you should be sure that all criteria have been met and that all attacking vessels are ready through enabling of the shields and weapon systems (powering these up <b>does</b> trigger a battletick, meaning the defender thus has the chance to counterattack should this be done mid-battle).

If the hull of a ship is damaged in an attack, the attack damage can be reduced up to the maximum of that ship's armor rating down to a minimum of one, however at least 50% of a weapons strength bypasses armour, (for example, a ship that has 4 armor and is attacked with a photon torpedo with strength 10 can receive anywhere from 6 to 9 hull damage, while a ship with the same armor that is attacked by a ship with a phaser power of 4 can receive 2 or 3 hull damage).

	Some ships have a certain chance to dodge enemy fire, determined by its evasion percentage. Such ships have powerful point-defense capabilities or high maneuverability, allowing them to destroy or dodge projectiles such as torpedos and disruptors, before they reach the ship. When facing high-dodge ships, phasers should be considered as an alternative since phasers can rarely be dodged. However, phasers are usually weaker than torpedoes or disruptors, which makes them only useful against lightly armored targets.

-	Enemy ships that have shields raised can use those shields to absorb enemy fire, protecting the hull from damage. This proves especially useful since it can reduce the amount of energy and time spent repairing (10 energy is needed to repair 1 hull point, whereas 1 energy is needed to repair 1 shield point). However once shields reach ~~approximately~~ 20% strength, damage <b>bleeds through</b>, causing the shields to only absorb partial fire from the attack and the rest of blast to damage the hull. As shields diminish, less damage is absorbed by shields while more damage is done to the hull.	+	Enemy ships that have shields raised can use those shields to absorb enemy fire, protecting the hull from damage.

As shields diminish, less damage is absorbed by shields while more damage is done to the hull. '''Bleedthrough''' is calculated as a percentage, and is calculated from 20%.
