If you have 2 mil debris and someone attakcs you with like 50 fighters, would you then have a 20 chance of getting a moon?

No, the moonchance is calculated when the battle occurs. Any remaning debris or debris before the fight will not have any effect whatsoever.

So If i don't get the moon right then, recycle it and try again?

Indeed, be sure to stick to the rules when exchanging moonshots with a friend, however.

Sorry to intervene here, I may be wrong, but I think that the debris will add up to the existing debris for a moonchance.
I once saw a huge debris in the galaxy screen, and no moon. I probed that planet. From my crashed probes, a moon was created! I was laughing for hours :lol:

That is impossible unless you send such a massive amount of probes that they can cause a 1% moonshot. If it did happen, it should be in the Bugs/Typos forum.

2k+ espionage ships on attack mission made a 5% moon chance if I remember it right. :D I tried it once before. :lol:
