Default Re: Question about Allegince Subverters

Remember that fighter weapons stack, though, so the percentage chance to subvert will be the the damage per subverter times the number of subverters per fighter times the number of fighters in your fighter stack. So a default sized stack of 5 fighters each equipped with 1 AS doing 1 damage would have a 5% chance to subvert, while a stack of 100 of the same type of fighters (say, launched from a planet) would be guaranteed to subvert (assuming the weapon actually hit).

edit: hmm, what else stacks that would be interesting to play around with? Seekers stack, so I guess you could put Crew ConVersion on a seeker, it MIGHT work... Satellite and WP weapons don't stack; with troops it's irrelevant because troops can't be converted... Drones don't stack, but a drone can have multiple warheads and I think those stack... either that or each applies separately, which gives diminishing returns with the probabilities (50% + 50% = 75% if they apply separately, 50% + 50% = 100% if they stack directly) ... Mines, hmm, that would be interesting, mines that steal your crew!
