Default Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

SJ,
Just two things:

1) Does the 0 damage setting prevent triggering of PD? (havent tried it myself yet),
2) My proposal to phase in damage was intended to try and average out the effects of ships at different distances and fighters/seekers of differing speeds. I take your point about the possibility of ships not protecting themselves from hits but as an arm chair admiral, I'm not so much concerned about individual ships but more with the performance of the fleet as a whole. If a ship sacrifices itself for another, so be it. My only concern is with regard to the "to hit" chances at the longer distances.

Anyway, I'm about to start a new game with the PD mod in effect and will provide feedback on what effect it has on the "strength" of point defence (the battles I have witnessed so far have unfolded ok but I want to witness one with more units of multiple types in it).

Regards,

GE
