Title: Question about design ships.
Post by: Acquati on February 01, 2009, 07:07:09 PM
I am new on the game (but i am in 250-350 on the rank  :P)
And have some questions About disgn ships...

Ho is better? do a lot os weapons or only 1 but powerfull?

If i do more than 1 comp whit +5% of acuracy, i can get more acuracy for all weapons?

if i have 100 ships whit 50% of acuracy, some will hit and somes will miss or i have 50% of chance to do any hit and failed?

How is the best way to get more money and do more ships?

If someone have patience to anser mi noob :D questions i will appreciate...

One powerful weapon is usually better because you get a small attack penalty for using multiple weapons.

Each computer affects every weapon on the ship. The effects from multiple computers stack, but not directly. Two ten-percent computers will not give a twenty-percent bonus.

Accuracy is applied directly to your attack. If you have 100.000 total attack and 50% accuracy, you will always end up with an effective attack of 50.000, plus-or-minus certain bonuses. You can find the detailed battle calculations here (http://forum.spaceo.net/index.php/topic,106.0.html).

The best way to make more money and kill more ships is to waste less money and loose less ships.

Hi Acquati

Ho is better? do a lot os weapons or only 1 but powerfull?

Depends. For relative small weapons, it may be better to use two or more weapons:
2 times a size 2 energy 321 acc 1 att 29995   gives 2 * 29995 * 0.98 -> 58790 att
if you try to design such a weapon of size 4 it hase a huge price
  a size 4 energy 624 acc 1 att 59834 has a price over 200000 credits.

A great combination is a high accuracy weapon, low att and several low accuracy, high attack weapons.
(total accuracy is the average over all slots (multiple weapong in one slot count only once)
(total att is the sum of all att time (1-number weapons/100) (verified up to 50 weapons)

If i do more than 1 comp whit +5% of acuracy, i can get more acuracy for all weapons?

accuracy of a computer stack is acc of the first computer plus (sum of all remaing computers)/(total number of computers).
10% plus 10% gives 15%
10% plus 6% plus 6% gives 14%
