Do stronger warships have a better shot at taking planets than weaker one? I just had a SBS take a planet in the same turn it arrived, whereas when I send cruisers/destroyers it usually takes me 4-5 turns at least.
It's a 20% chance--so if you send 100 ships to 100 planets, and all 100 are undefended, then you should take over 20 planets per turn, on average. Well, actually, it would be:
20
16
12
10
8
etc.
