Weapon minimum damage

[and]

New to the game, just getting to grips with the tutorial game.

If I have a ship equipped with a gun that says it's damage is between say 8-15, why does it then only do -5 to enemy ships?

Presumably some modifier on enemy ship, but would like to know what, so I can build into my ship. Thanks.

The enemy ships have Armor. Use Boarding to reduce armor.

You can also use Ship Upgrades that add damage to overcome armor.

Or use Radiation damage, it skips armor.

Or buy a bigger gun...

Is radiation damage extra, or does it make some of your existing damage ignore armour?

Extra, added by Upgrades.

Thanks, makes sense. Was wondering what armour did!

Another question, does the game support syncing saves across different Android devices, e.g. using Amazon's WhisperSync?

Amazon's WhisperSynch isn't capable of supporting saved game formats as complex as ST 4X, we did engage with them about it.

We may, in the future, be able to add support for Google Play Game Cloud, and we currently support iCloud for iOS (on devices where it is available.)

Thanks, will keep an eye out for future developments.

Amazon should improve their syncing, it would be good reason to buy games from them rather than Google Play!
