Questions about fighters.
It's been quite some time since I used fighters, several patches at least, but I was using them today and I noticed something that struck me as odd. I have a light cruiser design that contains a Combat Sensor 3 (+65% to hit). I match this ship against a light fighter (+80% to defense). Now, all things being equal the cruiser should always have at least a -15% chance to hit the fighter, right?
During my simultations I noticed that the cruiser had a 30% chance to hit the fighter at range 6 with a phased polaron beam. At range 1 it had an 80% chance to hit.
Even if I take away the combat sensor the cruiser still has a 15% chance to hit at range 1.
Now, perhaps my memory is failing, but I don't recall it being this easy to hit fighters.
