Stealth and Scattering Armor bonus

1) Take the shield points currently generated.
2) Estimate the typical hit rate that your enemy has against your ship.
3) Multiply your answers from (1) and (2), then divide by 100.
4) If the answer you get is:
less than 1200 : Do not bother with Stealth or Scattering armor.
from 1200 to 1670 : Add a Stealth armor only.
1670 or higher : Add both Stealth and Scattering armor.

1200 - comes from: 30x(9.375 -3.333)/.15
1670 - comes from (80 x (9.375 - [3.333*30 + 3*50]/80) ) /.3
= 80x (9.375 - 3.125)/.3
Which, again is: Size * (shields/kt - armor/kt)
And then divided by the ECM power to get us up to effective hitpoints.

You are the MAN. Awesome. No doubt about it. I will be copying this to the FAQ.

Slick.

It is just algebra.

Yes, I see you were.
Maybe you need to use more Greek letters (or at least basic math symbols) next time

That was a jab at tbontob, not you. I guess he didn't like having to insert his own greek letters and basic math symbols.

LOL

Fyron that was a tongue in cheek remark.

Guess you missed it.

And thanks SJ for the time and effort you have put into this.

I'll have to digest it and will get back to you.

EDIT: Repaired the UBB quote tag fragments.

Sorry guys, I kinda screwed up the multiple Posts and was trying to correct it.

Seems I posted rather than edited.

EDIT: Thanks SJ for fixing up my messed up post.

There is a preview button.

Remind me again what "tongue in cheek remark" means.

Well, in this situation the person (not me )superficially and with some irony agreed with your statement but really didn't.

I'd like to know where that phrase came from...
I find it really hard to speak clearly if I do put my toungue over onto the inside of my cheek.
