MULTIPLEX TRACKING, MYSTERY SOLVED (DOH!)

Taera · #1 April 21st, 2003, 07:19 AM

works in strategical, as far as i can tell.

EDIT: it does, no other way a ship armed with 4 WMG's (ROF3) could exterminate a fleet of 20 ships (escort w/ control components, nothing more) in 23 turns. in both strategic and tactical.

edit2: ship gets into firing range within like 14 turns so that'll be like 9-10 turns to kill them all.

further proof:

1 base loaded with 23 massive mesons (all electronics and two shields)
23 frigates armed with a single APB (bridge, crew quarters, life support, 6xquantum engine, solar sail)

with multiplex:
tactical: all enemy ships die on turn 11
strategoca: all enemy ships die on turn 11

without multiplex:
tactical: base dies on turn 15
strategical: base dies on turn 15

How can that be? In 10 turns that is 4 salvos (on turns 1, 4, 7, and 10) with 4 WMG's = 16 shots. ot should take at least 3 mone turns to get of enough shots to tag all 20. Are you sure about the closing time? Or is something weird going on?

i might have missed the first salvo (wasnt watching the ship) so it would be 11 turns. still.

ok same test with same conditions. i used cruisers for target hulls though to minimize to-miss chance.

turn 8 ship fires first shot - one ship dies (rest out of range)
turn 9 three ships die (remaining charges)
turn 11 another ship dies
turn 12 another three ships die
turn 14 another ship dies
turn 15 3 ships die
turn 17 ship dies
turn 18 3 ships die
turn 20 ship dies
turn 21 3 ships die

Strategical gives 20 turns, prolly because now the ship got to fire all four in first in-range round.

without multiplex, a ship dies each turn from turn 8 or 7, ending up in turn 27 or 26 (how?)
same with strategical.
