Just wondering if he was playing under a mod that has altered the basics of "distance" formulas that are in the stock game. 'Course, I could be completely off base...

Yeah, well ( ), it's probably true. But working in IT, I have learned to ask the obvious.

Re: Doing the math
I thought I remember reading a year ago, that the formular wasn't as easy as Base+Positives-Negatives.
From what my bad memory can remember, I thought it was something like Base + Combat Sensors - ECM = Total (Rounded down to 100% if over 100%) +/- Race Beinfits, etc.
Mind you, it was a long time ago, maybe even before Gold...

Re: Doing the math
The formula was broken before so that some bonuses were applied after the rounding to 1 or 99 (as appropriate). I think they were bonuses on the weapon itself and mount bonuses. But, it was fixed, and is now as simple as adding all bonuses and penalties to the base (including range) and then rounding.  |

I've been watching this thread but I had nothing to say before this. What size the enemy ships were? If they were small ships (light cruisers or smaller) they have built-in defence bonus.
Religious facilities and higher ship/fleet experience has already mentioned. Fleets get experience pretty slow but ships has 30% after few battles. Btw I have had once in my PBW history legendary (+40%) fleet and ships and I can say it was a powerful combination
