Title: SPECIAL HP FORMULA
Post by: mikael roy on September 25, 2010, 08:48:28 AM
I was wondering if anyone here had a perfect hp formula. I'm currently using Energy*0.3-1337 but it allways gives me a price around 600$
Thanks,
Mikaƫl Roy

Oh, weight arguments...

It all depends on what component he's using to get the HP. For Specials, assuming it hasn't changed in the last several years, the optimal weight is 6.

Okay, here are my numbers for specials.

Use 6 space for the specials, the rest should go to energy.

The equations:

The equation for HP on a special with 6 space is
Code:
(x * 0.3) - 5333

And the equation for defense is:
Code:
(x * 0.006) - 5333

Make sure to round up with HP and down with defense. Supplement defense with HP in order to get the cost below ten. The amount of HP you should add is the fractional part of the equation, multiplied by five hundred.

Oh, and congratulation mikael roy on reviving this thread four months to the minute from its last post. That's some nice timing.

Ya, for big enough ships, what weight you use is almost entirely non-consequential, as long as it's small.

Of course, you do have to pick a weight, so I just went with the mathematically optimal choice, because that's what OCD people do.

With the 6 space special will the cost be between 1-20credits?

It certainly can be. It depends on your energy, HP, and defence. If you follow my formulae above, you should end up with a cost between 1 and 10 credits.

Thanks a lot for the help. With my old design it cost me between 650-680, lol

now just saying what is the difference from 600 credits to 1-10 credits seems kind of pointless to me. even on small ships it wont hardly make a difference?





emy :12:

As I said, it really doesn't matter much for non-swarmers:
