<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi again Kamog http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Unfortunately, I do not know the point you are making. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Could you explain it more?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi TerranC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Sorry to disappoint you. But keep on lookin. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

To deal with your questions... correct me if I am wrong.
1) I believe Death Shrines is 2 words.
2) Yes, I believe the British and Canadian spelling is "Armour" I am Canadian, so I may use "Armor" and "Armour" interchangeably. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
3)"HE Magnifier is spelled magifire", I don't believe is correct. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Does anyone know for sure that the drone does or does not have a bonus offensive?

Re: Damage Calculation
 

Is it time for a hint? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hint #1 Someone has indirectly touched on the "error".

I know the hint is somewhat obtuse, but it is designed to be. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif So please do not ask for clarification. It may not be obvious now, but when you "see" the error, you will understand why I phrased it in this particular way.

If no one solves it, hint #2 will be on its way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Good hunting

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Kamog. Quite right. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Sigh, I must have been having a bad day.

Thanks for catching it.

But sorry, it's not the "puzzle" error. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

EDIT: Does anyone know the "percentage dropping with distance"?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oops, this is probably the 10% drop per sector. Y/N?

Re: Damage Calculation
 

No... you read my explanation all wrong.

The High Energy Magnifier is spelled Magifire on your list.

Also, there is an empty line; a space, between the death shrine entrys.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not weapons? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Tell that to 2 destroyers and an escort that just met their demise in a game I'm playing.

Or am I missing something here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">They are not weapons because weapons are useable in combat. Mines only affect ships out of combat. So, they are not weapons. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Damage Calculation
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">TerranC, you are correct. My apologies for the misinterpretation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

As to the empty line, I had inadvertently entered a page break in my word processor. I guess this thread interprets the page break as a line.

Re: Damage Calculation
 

Stab in the dark... the first line should read:

Factors which affect the probability of a hit by a direct fire weapon

If that isn't it, I may have to wait for hint #2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I am wondering if the difference is how we view weapons.

I view a weapon as anything that limits, damages or destroys an asset of the enemy.

Would it be correct to say that you view a weapon as something that limits, damages or destroys an asset of the enemy but also must be shown on a combat screen?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Q, Maybe this is the point Fyron is trying to make. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Would it be correct to say that all the data we have listed only affects direct fire weapons?

But sorry, it is not the "error" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
