In my experience the combat algorithm looks a bit like this....

First it assigns criticals,
Then it looks at what you are shooting at - and assigns the proportion of damage based on the relative size of your targets.
Then it looks at your units and applies the damage from each unit, scaled both by the proportion of damage a unit takes due to size and by the amount of damage that a given unit takes from it's attacker. Plus or Minus damage from criticals which cause extra damage to be taken.

Which means that yes - a unit can be overkilled. I recall situations where units were overkilled by a lot while others were left standing (though damaged).

When you have 40-50 units per side things get interesting.]]> Thu, 18 May 2017 11:32:05 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2587-combat-damage-distribution.aspx Thu, 18 May 2017 09:47:40 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2587-combat-damage-distribution.aspx You came in with a bunch of corvettes against a level 1 fighter]]> Thu, 18 May 2017 08:40:31 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2587-combat-damage-distribution.aspx
Hope your first couple of days launched haven't been too TOO hectic!

After making an attack on the Neptune Raiders, I noticed one of their Fighters was at "-69 -69%" health. Did the damage go past it's actual health and not get redistributed to the other units accurately? I've attached a photo of the interaction.
