How is this possible? 3 Hercs are doing 30,000 kinetic damage and against kinetic a Large fodder has a -95% with a base hull of 800. That would leave 40 points. 30000/40 =750 How can only 84 die?

SHIPS - Hercules


Name Hercules
Class Special
Weapon 20,000
Energy Damage 0
Kinetic Damage 12,000
Missile Damage 8,000
Chemical Damage 0

correct me if im wrong but herc has 12k kinetic damage not 30k, so
12k x 95% modifier= 23,400 -hull for the fodder being 800.
84 lrg fodder have a combined total of 67,200 hull so depending on how many herc flanked the fodder it sounds very reasonable,

hope you didnt hit on carefull Oo lol

YOU GOT IT WRONG MATE

-95% doesnt mean that 800 base hull becomes 40... it means that your kinetic damage does 95% MORE... jsut like a positive shield of 95% means that missiles do 95% LESS... thus the calculations are correct...

1. 3 hercs = 30,000 base kinectic and 15,000 base missile damage
2. 30,000 kinectic after -95% sheild modification = 30,000 multiplied by 1.95 = 58,500
3. 15,000 missile after +95% shield modification = 15,000 multiplied by 0.05 = 750
4. total damage by 3 hercs on fodders = 59,250
5. -5% reduction from attacker`s disadvantage = 59,250 multiplied by 0.95 = 56,287.5

Fodder`s HP = 800
Therefore number of fodder killed per round = 56,287.5 divided by 800 = 70.3

if anything, he gave you an advantage in number of fodders killed mate...

sorry for double post... accidentally clicked b4 i was finished

*sigh* ... your neglecting on how the battle formula works, its alot more complex than just the 30000/400 part ... which is seriously off ... if you were to compare to other attacks on other ships.

Anyway ... im not a math genious, but 3 hercs killing fodder would sound about right.

i agree with anthrax......sad thing is that`s not even funny... it`s probably true..lol

Or as some would say....Stephens math 30000/40 = 84

Because Strafez negate most of your attack with the "Ships attacked by this Unit cannot return fire". Atleast thats the way i understand it. If i am wrong someone will point it out i am sure -=]
