Default Re: Strategic combat has more bugs than my backyard!

I may of come in at the rear end of an all out brawl here but the point of the simulator in se4 is not to give you a guaranteed result from any fight.

In all fights their are random things that can happen, weapons are not guaranteed to hit everytime (unless you have the talisman) and you are not guaranteed to dodge that cruitial shot.

If everything about the fight was set in stone and we knew percisly that i need 3 craft to take out this other craft with exceptable losses of only 1 ship, than only mathmatitions would play it.

SE4 is about preparing for the unexpected allways having a backup plan just in case the unthinkable does happen, The simulator as far as I can tell is not dammaged it shows true randomness while still being able to show clearly how certain ships compare to other ships.

Do not base your results on 1 simulation base them on the average of around 10 - 20 simulations.

With out this randomness the game would be stagnant and have no life.
